SPACE GAR! @solomonrdavid.bsky.social

Skrunkly Skranklin' Space Gremlin is finally finished !! WHEW! See you at @neotropolisevent

These creatures were pests with a habit of chewing on docked starship guts, a behavior that caused dread in pilots, reminiscent of Old Earth wartime " gremlins". It was discovered they ...

Chinook salmon found naturally hatching in Upper Klamath River for first time in a century The Klamath Tribes are celebrating evidence of Chinook salmon spawning in Klamath River tributary.

After big dams on the upper Klamath River in far northern CA were removed in 2024, Chinook (king) salmon migrated upstream for the first time in 100+ years--and now they have hatched.

Lake Sturgeon spawning

After disappearing from the Milwaukee River in the early 20th century due to overfishing and habitat loss, the new discovery of an adult sturgeon 20 miles upstream from Lake Michigan is a milestone in a massive restoration project that’s been underway for 20 years www.wuwm.com/lake-sturgeo...

Conversely, juvenile Lake Sturgeon emote differently 😅

Evaluating Mercury Concentrations in Brazos River Alligator Gar - FishSens Magazine In 2023, Zach Moran, Assistant Professor of Fish Science, investigated trends and contributors to bioaccumulation in Alligator Gar in Texas.

Alligator gar are apex predators in Texas rivers. But their position at the top of the food chain renders them susceptible to harmful biomagnification.

a plein air illustration with a tilted grassy field. There are leaves towards the front and a mountainous range towards the back. A herd of Wooloo (pokemon) are rolling down the hill as one is happily jumping. There is a wooloo in the back that tripped (hehe)

a pokemon illustration. The setting is within a cave set to imitate Mt. Moon, a location from Kanto inside the Pokemon world. In the middle are three clefairy hopping around a meterorite landing, jumping and having a happy expression on their faces. On the bottom left are two clefairy, also happy in expression, looking at a geodude that's within a crater. You see the pokemon paras scattered around the cave. The illustration is inspired by the original art made by Ken Sugimori.

two types of gar are illustrated. on the top is the alligator gar, and on the bottom is the longnose gar

a pixel illustration of Sori, the Antiquarian. She runs the shop within the city of my stream universe and you can buy various trinkets from her through gachapon capsules. Sori is in a happy expression, showcasing her four hands up in the air in glee. Various capsules with stars in the center are behind her, surrounding the room.

The Pokémon universe goes hard on ecology and climate science The Pokémon franchise, including its recent game Pokémon Pokopia, is inspired by real animals and their ecology. It’s no surprise that so many scientists love to try and “catch ’em all”

My latest for @sciam.bsky.social is all about the real biology, ecology, and climate science that is used to create the world of Pokémon, and how scientists use it to teach science in the real world.

This is just about the most fun I’ve ever had interviewing anyone, and I hope you enjoy! 🧪🌎

Ooooh if they’re able to share any pics of the fossil gars I’d love to see them! Sounds awesome reGARdless, and glad to hear it’s going well!

Two fish scientists hold an Alligator Gar in water for data collection and eventual release.

Drawing of an eel with a pipe in its mouth, curled up on the beach with several books. One book is open on a rock in front of the eel, and the other is sitting, closed, next to it. It's unclear if this eel historian is reading for leisure or work. Or both. The eel looks dapper, and you'd want him on your side if the fate of the world came down to a sudden-death round of trivial pursuit. (this image was done by one of my followers several years ago, and I'm ashamed to say that I didn't write down who did it, so I can't give credit where it's due)

I thought it was me as a doctor...

Thanks so much! Right back at you Bruce and shark friends!

"I thought it was me as a doctor."

A fish scientist holds an Alligator Gar with a bayou and clouds in the background. The scientist is indeed a doctor, as opposed to a particular president.

“I thought it was me as a doctor”

he's counting on people not knowing what a doctor looks like because they don't have healthcare

macro photo at eye level with a sapygid wasp. the oval shape of their head, big eyes and fuzzy hairs really make them adorable.

Periodical reminder that adorable Sapygid Wasp is adorable!

The most likely way out of authoritarianism continues to be intense politicking followed by voting followed by taking power followed by using that power to repair our democracy.

Every step is fraught. Obstacles everywhere, including from our own side, but it’s the most likely way out.
