Some interesting squirrel behavior outside my window! #bio1610 #squirrels

I've tried the impossible burger and I think it's pretty good. I wonder what other realistic meat dupes science will come up with! #bio1610 #impossibleburger

It will be interesting to see how politics will influence conserved areas in spaces like a DMZ or elsewhere in the near future! #bio1610 #DMZConservation

I wonder how many other restoration projects include people dressing up like animals? #bio1610 #trainingcranes

Travis Rieder makes a good point when talking about future climate catastrophes. It's often the US that causes lots of environmental degradation while the "world's poorest nations" are the ones that actually have to face the consequences #bio1610 #kidsclimate

A little update on the Dicamba situation, hopefully the lawsuit is a success! #bio1610 #dicamba

Geologists discovered a lot by looking at the crater that killed the dinosaurs. I wonder what else holds answers to our past mass extinctions! #bio1610 #KTcrater

A very pertinent exploration into how viruses get from rainforests to humans! Maybe we should stop developing the rainforest? https://t.co/u3sOULO5lo

Schistosomiasis - a disease that stems from contaminated water and impacts up to 200 million people annually - has met its match in a natural remedy. Sweet wormwood tea defeats the disease quicker than the generated drug.
I wonder what else tea could solve!

How. do whales relate to wind turbines? Both seek to reduce drag and turbulence. We can learn from whales! https://t.co/3S3itNCJgv

Velcro is used in many everyday items, but did you know it was originally inspired by those pesky burrs that get stuck to your clothes when you touch them?

Recent Update: In 2019 Rana boylii was listed as a "threatened" species under the endangered species act. Hopefull this will allow us to do more work to restore their populations! #bio1610 #eol

The Foothill Yellow-legged Frog (Rana boylii) lives in creeks along the west coast. Their populations thrive in areas with no dams, but in an area with 800+ dams, their populations are declining.

We can also see the health of a Foothill Yellow-legged frog population by looking at the genetic diversity within their populations. A more diverse set of DNA=a larger population! #bio1610 #eol

Jean Burns is using the invasive species Solanum dulcamara (Bittersweet Nightshade) to look at the mechanism behind which these species are able to compete against the pre-established native ecosystem.

What makes a specific area of soil susceptible to invasive species? https://t.co/iZpnIuhzo5 Looks at research that will hopefully answer that question and give us ways in which we can protect certain areas from invasive species!
