NASA is one of the best things about this country. Hope. Innovation. Exploration. Wonder. Give them, the post office, and the national parks service all the money from ICE
Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.
Wildlife trade drives animal-to-human pathogen transmission over 40 years
New in @science.org ‼️ In the most comprehensive study to date, we show that wildlife trade is driving animal-to-human zoonotic spillover at a planetary scale, with +1 spillover per host every 10 years. Live animal markets and illegal trade pose even greater risks. 🔓 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

current me: okay so there’s a big fight between the government and the catholic church
teenage me: got it, so we’re obviously on the side of the government
current me: I, uh, you might want to sit down for this one
"naturalized" is a much better word than "invasive" a lot of the time, not even close to all naturalized species are invasive

I missed this when it happened but it's amazing. 😂
Read the whole thread, it’s so important.

Just simply one of the best moments in film history and now live on stage. So so so good.
reminder: for covid, you won't show pos for 36-48hrs after exposure.
if your flight's friday morning, testing = inaccurate anytime before saturday night (unless you're feeling sick sooner)
also why it's responsible to stay at home for a few days after events so tests+no symptoms can be verified.
In Florida for a work trip. The wide variety of outfits I’ve seen just in the airport is… fascinating. It’s a weird combo of snow birds, spring breakers, businessmen (the jeans and sport coat kind), tired airport employees, and a really cute scent dog (pointer mix).
The National Zoo has been giving its 4-week-old elephant calf Linh Mai daily doses of feces from another elephant to treat diarrhea, experts said.
The procedure is called a fecal microbiota transplant and has been used successfully in other species. https://wapo.st/4riGdLI
Your reminder that Joss Whedon wasn’t allowed to be alone with 14 year old Michelle Trachtenberg.
Just if you’re getting excited about his career re-launch and don’t care about his revolting behaviour toward Charisma Carpenter.
If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!
Wizards of the Coast has officially settled on 5.5e as the name for the 2024 update of Dungeons & Dragons, as it updates labels on D&D Beyond for clarity. Caelyn shares her thoughts on the change and why it took so long.

I was surprised to learn that this is the all-time most popular Effin' Birds comic over the nine year run (so far).
Many of North America’s birds are in a state of accelerating decline, with over half of 122 species dying out faster, according to a new study. Their vanishing songs are a bellwether of a far deeper biodiversity crisis, researchers say.
This is like looking at anxiety. I would never. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.
Mine is similar… David Bowie was holding together the fabric of the universe, and his death lead to the subsequent unraveling of, well, everything.
