Hey, so I'm going to leave twitter for good in a few days. There are still people I like a lot here, but the whole app became awful and feels useless. If you'd like to keep in touch, I'll still be on tumblr :) If we are mutuals here, feel free to ask for it.

Searching for alien life? No need to board a rocket ship to space when our home planet’s Ocean shelters creatures like this suspected Bathyphysa siphonophore. Spotted during the #SalasyGomezRidge expedition off the coast of Chile. More info about research: https://t.co/AsHFcFTJN1

Some of the weirdest parasitic copepods are in the genus Philichthys. They live inside the skull bones of fish. They are so weird that we don’t know what most of their body parts are. The female (right) is 2cm long and has processes growing out of her body. Male in vial on left
