On an afternoon in 2021, one of our field patrols took a rather unique turn: Instead of tracking down poachers and following up intel on illegal activities, the team were shadowing a baby giraffe trying to pass herself off as a zebra! Meet the mother goose of our Kaluku herd: swt.bio/twiggy

Microverse Minute I collected samples from a local fountain several days after a good rain, and the sediment was loaded with these micro crustaceans called Ostracods!! They date back in the fossil record over 400 million years! #microscopy #naturephotography📷 #science #biology

We’re choking ecosystems with microplastics—and still churning out plastic Easter eggs meant to be trashed the same day. Briefly festive, eternally polluting. Now accumulating in bodies—plant, animal, and human—pushing us toward irreversible harm.

Live near hickory, walnut, sweet-gum, persimmon, willow, cherry, sumac, or birch trees? You may encounter a Luna Moth! This one just emerged and has yet fully expanded its wings. They are nocturnal. Overwintered cocoons are hidden amongst leaf litter in proximity to their host tree #actiasluna

New study by PolyBio shows significant biological changes after a Covid infection. These changes can impact metabolic, vascular & immune system. They also found cancer associated epigenetic changes. Well worth a read, and a good reminder to mask back up!

The video in this montage is extraordinary- and not in a good way. “Historic” life-changing flooding in so many spots. We have irreversibly changed our planet in ways that will compound and debilitate. (On a lighter note, I apparently made a cameo)

1. This is a thread about Horticultural Extrapolation. Not something you're likely to have thought about, but it's time some people did. What is it? It's projecting the mechanics of fruit and veg growing onto the entire food system. It's surprisingly common, and frequently leads people astray. 🧵
