THIS IS THE PERFECT DECADE TO START BIRDING!

It’s easy...whenever you see a bird outside, write it down!

If you’re not sure how to identify birds, a guide like the Audubon app (free!) will walk you through the I.D.!

You’ll find that as your list grows, so does your wonder 💚

These are Australians waiting on the beach to flee into the ocean if the fire keeps coming. It's the only 'safe' place they can find.

How much of your heart do you want to protect? We really need to think about the world, the ocean, and nature as our life support system and do everything we can to protect it. It underwrites our economy, our security, our health—our very existence.

To study how shark skin might function, we 3D printed rigid denticles on a flexible membrane (in different configurations), and moved them with a robotic controller. Particles reveal flow patterns! #SharkScaleSaturday #fishsci #sharks #SharkScience
