Sorry, but if you started ignoring Moo Deng the second she got a little older and are now obsessed with Ume you’re no better than Leonardo DiCaprio

i think we can all learn a lot from Cat on a Quilt in the Sunshine

Keep at it

Cool coverage of a new undergrad-led paper from my lab! #SciComm www.popsci.com/environment/...

Ashitaka is done!

manifesting a bonnethead sweep this year (last year they got 2nd!) but damn shortfin mako and whale sharks are tough competition

Be a shark in a sea of stars! ✨ #pottery

How long did it take you to see this Florida Gar hiding in the Everglades?

Dandelion painted paper collage! A rare non-digital collage from me (I made this a while back tho!!) #art #illustration

sometimes it's just me and my emotional support burt's bees pomegranate lip balm against the world

Autistic people don’t need to be cured. We need to be smoked

didn't think i'd be considering a pivot from science to art because it's looking like a safer + more secure career path but here we are 🤩

A cool thing about my website re-build is that whilst looking for content to send to my web designer, i’m discovering images i’ve taken that I hadn’t paid attention to before, but really should have! Absolutely love the suns rays & the marbling effect on this #greatwhite #shark 🌊 🦈 🤿 📸

YAY now that the contest is live I can share my fish I designed for Basil's fish contest :D Gar are my second fav fish (after bichir) and designing creatures to fit into worldbuilding is my FAVORITE THING TO DO. Meet the Pinecone Gar (Atractosteus pinus) 🎣 [ #Art #Gar ]

I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

I've sent ~100 college students to their job page and have PERSONALLY have gotten 3 jobs/freelances gigs directly from this job board. This would be huge loss, especially for folks trying to figure out what's available in the field (& now, with so many talented federal people looking for jobs) 🧪🐟🦑

Today is my birthday and if you want to give me a gift, please repost my art 😊 #sciart

THIS IS HUGE! For the FIRST time in history, scientists at Sanaria and Seattle Children's Research Institute's Center for Global Infectious Disease Research (CGIDR) have developed a GROUNDBREAKING malaria vaccine (PfSPZ-LARC2) designed to provide >90% protection with just ONE dose. 🧪🧵⬇️

If you’re wondering who the Elon Musk staffers are, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has several Musk staffers, including Amanda Scales, Brian Bjelde, Stephen Duarte, Christina Hanna, and Bryanne-Michelle Mlodzianowski.

Information hygiene request - please circulate & take action. I’m getting bombarded with frantic fragments. Information flow is crucial right now, and every link in the chain matters. This is a concrete place where you can play a massive role in improving transmission. Start with SIFT method:

Today I saw this amazing tree, #Trumpetbush #Cecropia peltata, far taller than I'd anticipated, growing in situ in mezoic forest on #Montserrat. I knew the reverse of the leaves were white, but they're far whiter than I realised. My #botanicalillustration of this plant looked right otherwise, phew.

It’s aromantic awareness week! Thought I make a pride bird art about my orientation. If you want to know more about it, go check out www.arospecweek.org #aroweek2025

some people have never seen an animated barbie movie and it shows

Hey! I’m Meghan, a lifelong artist; painter and drawer. The deep ocean has my heart and I adore painting unusual critters you don’t usually hear about ❤️ I’m contracted for writing and illustrating a deep ocean children’s book releasing in 2026. I also use deep ocean images in my personal work.

Really pleased with this mitosis watercolor. Analog #sciart ftw

strongly considering getting a wetsuit because being in a cold pool for 4 1/2 hours is not the vibe... major sea otter envy rn (densest fur of any mammal with up to 1 million hairs per square inch!!)

We musk-ox you to be our Valentine! 💖

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

my favorite note left by a child at work ♥️🐱 such wisdom

navigating bluesky as an early career ste(a)m person but i've been on tumblr since 2013

All these articles about Democrats moaning over their messaging issues make me tired. You know what's more important than messaging? ACTION. Don't TALK about the price of eggs. Tell people "MEET US IN THE PARK - WE'RE GIVING OUT FREE EGGS. THAT'S RIGHT - FREE EGGS FROM THE DEMOCRATS!"

✨Big news✨ My wooden linocut bookmarks are prepared for shipment to Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge, whose gift shop will now be stocking LindZeamays merch! It's been a dream to partner with a local nature center to spread arthropod love through art. And it's finally happening. 💚 🎨🐡🐝🪲🐞🧪

I want Godzilla to be my valentine

Happy Valentine’s Day to those sarcopterygians who celebrate:

I wish Godzilla were here.

this is the height of luxury

I cannot be exposed to strong winds without thinking about that wimdy fox. It’s burned into my neural circuits.

My latest column for Scuba Diving Magazine is all about Repair the Sea, a Jewish ocean conservation non-profit! I spoke with founder and Rabbi Ed Rosenthal about the group’s history and values, and how you can help them with their important work! www.scubadiving.com/jewish-ocean... 🧪🌎🦑 #JewSky

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism. But what the autistic people in your life hear when you spread that widely debunked misinformation is that you would prefer to have a child die a painful death from eradicated communicable disease than to be like them. That's nasty work. Hope this helps!

i think i'm like a 2 but also i have autism and an aura of being all-knowing which apparently some people find intimidating 🤔

Let's celebrate #DarwinDay by reminding ourselves that everyone has moments when they feel worse for wear. Darwin wrote to Charles Lyell in 1861: "But I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything." www.darwinproject.ac.uk/letter/DCP-L... So, hang in there, #academicsky! 🧪

happy International Day of [banned] and [banned] in Science [under review] from the US

went to the aquarium with my roommates and i immediately knew which shark they were pointing out because @whysharksmatter.bsky.social also describes sandbar sharks as "the most shark-looking shark". and they are! 🦈 (i love you green sawfish 🫶)

spotted eagle ray for #FishyFeb2025 day 9: ray! also my handpoked southern stingray after swimming with them in bimini 🥰🫶

Because in the United States, it’s legal to feed chicken shit to cattle. That’s why. That’s literally the reason www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...
