I am extremely proud to say, my new book, HOW TO SURVIVE A BEAR ATTACK, is published today. A memoir, an investigation, nature writing, plus a dash of fiction, it's a blend because I started writing with a question -- if I'm attacked by a bear, will I survive? #booksky #naturewriting #bearsky

Bloodroot (Papaveraceae: Sanguinaria canadensis) is a spring ephemeral that inhabits woodlands of eastern North America. The common name comes from the toxic red sap stored in its rhizomes. It's pollinated by a number of insects, and ants help disperse its seeds. Blissfield Michigan, 15 Apr 2011.

A Native American legend tells of an old woman crying piteously by a stream, grieving for her starving grandchildren. The Sun sent a spirit in the form of a redbird that turned her tears into the bitterroot plant, which grew each year to help her people survive. #FolkloreThursday

🗣️🧪 Jak dobře komunikovat vědecké výsledky veřejnosti a zaujmout nejen fanoušky poznání, ale i ty, kteří se o vědu běžně nestarají? 🔎 Podobné otázky si pokládá stále více vědců, PR pracovníků výzkumných ústavů i vědeckých novinářů. Inspiraci hledají v zahraničí i od sebe navzájem.
