An illustration of two of the seagulls from finding nemo with teeny weenie red beanies on. They sit on top of old wodden dock poles, screaming “mine mine mine”. Words written in cursive read “in my mind, youre always”’

Previous illustration but as a tshirt mock up

I’m not the first to think of this but I may be the first to illustrate it with seagulls wearing teeny weenie red beanies

Sitting here crying while after getting WhatsApped the photo on the right, so let me tell you a little story about how we got here from the photo on the left and why repatriation research matters!

Literally apple chose the worst month to glitch on 😭😭😭

nobody has ever looked at an old broad with loads of tattoos and thought anything other than "heh, hell yeah dude"

Discovered when I backed up my phone to iCloud to transfer my data to a new phone, that the entire month of October 2025 wasn’t saved. So guess who lost all her photos from Japan and my first international conference!! I am crushed. I already reset my old phone.

Putting myself out there to say that if any movie/tv production or game studio needs a consultant in marine biology, ecology, animal behavior, or being a graduate student/PhD, I am available and would LOVE to work with your team!

#wormwednesday is the perfect opportunity to show off one of my favorite marine worms, Alitta williami. Simply because they are BEAUTIFUL

The king rag worm. The body is twisted and coiled and the skin is rainbow sheen green and pinks.

The worm rearing up showing the face and parapods (legs) which are tinged pink.

The long & limbed King Rag, or Alitta virens. Isn't he beautiful?

But they have two large pincer teeth that can deliver a severe bite.

This is superb. They’ve perfected it truly

Did playdough get massively better since i was a kid because i do NOT remember it being this nice

Please remember when you swim in the ocean:

200 meters below you, there is a layer of fish that stretches all around the world. It is so dense, that when it was discovered during WWII it scared the navy so bad they bombed it.

This is the ocean's thin inner shell of fish [🧵]

A blue flyer with pink telephones that says "Science communicators! we are carrying out a research study on trends in the field of science communication. Science communication is an incredibly diverse field! We want to summarize what is happening, how well people are surviving on science communication as a career, and where we need help as a field"

Attention Science Communicators!

Our survey on the state of scicomm closes this Friday!

Please get your responses in ASAP and nudge your colleagues!

Calling all scientists!!

@invertebabe.bsky.social and I shared this on instagram and people LOVED it. Now we want to know what animals you all are studying, and what are you trying to understand about them?

We have 2 cool shirts! I have to sell them out by early April for 2 reasons:

1) 5 of my family members are staying in the Skype a Scientist stockroom in mid-April 😅
2) I need to fund our mural project which starts the first week of April!

They're soft! They're cute! Get a shirt!

Whoever at my local theatre decided to provide nutritional yeast for the popcorn, i love you

Living with both of my nostrils being deviated was truly stupid. Idk how i did it. But now im hyper aware of whats going on with my nose instead of bliss ignorance

What they dont tell you about fixing your deviated septum is that ANY booger in your nose will become the biggest annoyance in your life because now you know what unrestricted air flow feels like and you simply cannot go back to any other way of living

I have a biologist joke but the funding got cut before I could publish it.

table listing 20 echinoderm scientists with Mah added at the bottom

I AM IN THE TOP 20! As of March 2026 I have described 186 species-based on data from Carter&Sands 2025 who summarize the top 20 echinoderm taxonomists (by total species) that puts me in the TOP 20! All these others are dead, white guys. I am the first who is not. #taxonomistappreciationday
