@iowacitydarwinday.bsky.social member Peter Nitsche, a @uiowabiology.bsky.social student in my lab group, created this lovely graphic novel about the fascinating biology of sex. We hoped to print it time to sell @ICDD 2026, but it won't be ready yet...but you can buy online! a.co/d/0blNjMjL

We aren't saying they'd win gold every time, but they'll definitely place. Which fish are you cheering for?
Last semester in my 'Environmental Communication' class, taught my undergrad students about DARVO (= "Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender") & its use in undermining solutions to environmental problems. I hope my students are also applying that knowledge to everything else happening now. 1/2
First they came for California
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Californian
Then they came for Minnesota
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Minnesotan
Then they came for Maine
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Mainer
Then they came for my state...

I have now seen multiple groups who have taken it upon themselves/their social groups to re-create the historical signs that the federal gov't took down in Philly yesterday.
The best way to get people to spread a message (especially in this anti-authority, fuck-you town), is to try to censor it.
Let me be clear: I cannot vote for legislation that gives ICE even more funding to terrorize our communities.
Not after 2025 was the deadliest year on record to be in ICE custody in two decades.
Not after they killed a mom in cold blood with zero accountability.
Thank you to all of our friends who visited the Alabama Aquarium at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab in 2025. We recorded our second-highest attendance in history🐙!

Oil, conflict, and climate change – there is a direct connection.
Love this
Such a loss of wisdom and grace 🥲
One of the chief virtues of the book is that it’s nearly the only remaining form of media that isn’t constantly being interrupted by ads. Between the covers is the last place on earth where no one is trying to sell you shit, a place where you can still be a human being rather than a mark.
I have numerous colleagues who work for the agency, but this FWC comment is wild.
Qianjiadong Reservoir in southern Hunan, China, produces a double harvest: solar energy and yellow carp. The solar farm produces up to 80 megawatts of power while the fish forage beneath the panels. With a massive scale-up of solar and wind at home and cheap exports of the technology, China is driving a worldwide surge of renewable energy—Science’s 2025 Breakthrough of the Year.
Science has named the seemingly unstoppable growth of renewable energy worldwide as the 2025 Breakthrough of the Year.

A clear pool at Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, Nevada, home to endemic pupfish and other unique spring-dwelling creatures.
Perhaps the best place to see some of the Mojave Desert’s unique fishes in their native habitat is Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge near Desth Vslley.
A path takes you to pools with endemic pupfish & you can learn more at the excellent visitor center.
