Dr. Loren Buck's talk today about the strategies him and his collaborators have developed to study Baleen Whales was mind blowing. We covered baleen, earwax, snot, & feces. #nau

@kirvers 1. That's awesome and hilarious. 2. How do you like using Google Slides for lectures? Clearly nice that you can add captions!

[Erika R. LaPlante @Live_Tall]

@EndlessForms That's awesome and these are amazing! I would love to see these in the wild! 😍

@EndlessForms What?! How did they disperse onto the power lines?

I've been struggling to find the right words, but honestly what it comes down to is this: “Agree to disagree” is reserved for things like “I don’t like coffee.” Not racism, homophobia, and sexism. Not human rights. #BlackLivesMatter

Do you prep for winter with this level of enthusiasm? If so, you may be a pika.

Wooly bears are out feeding and crossing the road in the N east… they’ll overwinter as caterpillars. Although beautiful & harmless, I have developed an allergy to their hairs, at least after extreme contact: https://t.co/3t8XbVLcPb

@danielchitwood @zoemig @HorticultureMSU @DalhousieU Can't wait to catch up with @zoemig and hear about her apple research! Getting excited! 😃

[Erika R. LaPlante @Live_Tall]

@anuragasclepias gave a super cool talk last night at the @MeijerGardens Wege Environmental Lecture Series, covering coevolution, cultural history, & conservation of monarchs and milkweeds! The audience laughed, cringed, sighed, and applauded! What a fun and incredible evening!

@danielchitwood Those ice/snow pictures aren't from this week are they?! Please tell me that I'm not going to come home to winter already!!! 😬
