After a snow storm, a beautiful Northern Flicker visited our backyard. The yellow tail feathers underneath are a well-kept secret unless they’re perched on a wire or at a feeder. 🪶#birds #winter #birding

CDC staff have been forced to remove dozens of chronic health applications and to change open data sets that contain gender. These are YOUR data and YOUR tools. Be angry. Be LOUD.

Fellow bookworms, drop everything and read this book. Superb storytelling and beautifully developed characters. I had to slow down to savor the last few chapters. Brava @nnedi.bsky.social #AfricanFuturism #SciFi

Wonderful presentation by @rosemarymosco.com convinced me to appreciate house sparrows, pigeons, and gulls much more than I normally do. She was also very nice while I was an awkward fangirl! 😬 #science #birds #birding At Space Coast Birding Festival with @richbacolor.bsky.social

Took my fam to the Elzada Clover exhibit at UM Matthaei Bot garden today. What an amazing story. My mom was a student at UM when Clover was a professor. Bought the superb book by @melissasevigny.bsky.social #womeninscience #botany #UniversityofMichigan #science
