There’s a cafe in Shenzen’s biotech hub that gives you free coffee for a month if you publish in Nature or Science.

Day 2 of trying to find Merlin: the search continues!

Merlin, please DM us for an important business meeting. 🦆 🤝 🦆

[DuckDuckGo @DuckDuckGo]

Merlin, you have our full support.

If we sent you a DuckDuckGo jersey, would you wear it (after the World Cup, of course)?

Internet, do your thing. 🙏

MolluscaBaseは便利ですが瑕疵もあるので鵜呑みは禁物。ちょうど今ウミウシの分類体系の総説作成へ後方支援を頼まれ、主著者の先生と相談するうち変な箇所に気付きました。もちろんこうした矛盾は随時修正されてゆきますが、頻繁に開いて変化を確認したり、独自に裏取りするに越したことはありません。

[Octoboss @malacodatum]

@chieri_riss People r right! I found MolluscaBase and WoRMS incredibly helpful, so I hope they are for you too! Dealing with synonyms and common names is tough, but finding the most recent accepted name first, and then checking articles for its synonyms worked for more than once..🫰🏻✨

This snail became the first animal living on deep-sea hydrothermal vents to be added to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species—it also turns poisonous sulfur into armor

Dear diary,

Today's #MolluscMonday and #MayTheFourthBeWithYou , and I haven't come up with any creative idea for a tweet. Still, I hope everyone is having a great monday and find beauty in molluscs at least for a while, at least for today. 🦑🐌🐚🦪

Sincerily,

Hi,
Today I want to share with you this photo I took almost three years ago in BCS, Mexico. The conch belongs to a purple snail. 🐚💜 I was tempted to keep this shell w/me, but it started blowing bubbles seconds after I took the picture 🫧so I put it right back on the shore. 🏖️🌊

[Octoboss @malacodatum]

You can find more about the purple snail and related species in these articles 🐚💜, or DM me ✨:
