Hundreds of hungry mosquitoes, a student volunteer and a mesh suit helped us figure out how these deadly insects reach their targets Analyzing 20 million recorded mosquito flight paths revealed the mathematical rules behind how these tiny predators move and zero in on their human targets.

Great way to celebrate women’s history month!

Wow @kaytrue.bsky.social amazing that spiders can push square pegs out of round holes too

Insightful analysis. A squirrel tail looks like a rat tail when wet

Scientists no Longer Find Twitter Professionally Useful, and have Switched to Bluesky Synopsis. Social media has become widely used by the scientific community for a variety of professional uses, including networking and public outreach. For

WOW! Our survey of scientists who stopped using Twitter and started using Bluesky is now the #1 most-shared on social media article in the history of the journal Integrative and Comparative Biology! Thanks for reading it, everyone! @sicbjournals.bsky.social

My kid drew figure 2. Great chance to share @danielecarlesso.bsky.social with the family

“The ability to tell the truth, especially when it does not suit any particularly partisan aims, is an essential prerequisite for a free society” great article

A dead weevil with a fungus fruiting body growing out of it

Look. At. This. (!). A fungus spore landed on this weevil. Grew inside and caused it to climb to the top of this plant- while the fungus killed it. Consumed its body. Used that energy to shoot up a red fruiting body to release more spores. To zombify more weevils. A mind controlling killer fungus.

Call for contributions to our symposium on animal collective movement in complex environments at SICB 2026 in Portland, OR! Submit your abstract to our complementary sessions and join us for two days of fun discussing and exchanging research on the biomechanics and energetics of animal movement!

Great theme song too in that movie

“This trabecular bone is highly anisotropic with trabecular orientations reflecting the mechanical load distribution along the limb” very interesting . I didn’t know bone could grow like that

@biologycarly.bsky.social has new #book The Salmon Cannon and the Levitating Frog,
featuring @drdavidhu.bsky.social & many more!

@sicb.bsky.social good luck with your research this summer. Sicb conference in January in Oregon is free for undergrads so I hope you can come present your work. Other biology journalists there too

Do you know why sharks and rays can evert their intestines? @kaytrue.bsky.social

this hilarious video is going in my first lecture to ME undergrads this fall!

I know you all know this, but apparently it needs to be said that basic science is a NECESSARY PRECURSOR to translational science

funding research is not a cost...its an investment!

A figure is worth a thousand words-- especially true for scientific papers. Great article by double major in journalism and biology @mckennasweet.bsky.social . Thanks to @kaytrue.bsky.social for getting me into the UW Daily!

hydrostatic paradoxes are a great way to engage undergraduates

Thanks @kaytrue.bsky.social I'll bring this up in my lecture this fall.

Thanks @kaytrue.bsky.social for giving me the chance to see all the latest exciting research at UW. An inspirational visit with the huskies like always!
