New paper product of a wonderful teamwork Juan Carlos Copete Vojtech Novotny Alfred Kik. We review and highlight the importance of Indigenous and local people in cataloging biodiversity on Earth. Thread (1/4) 👇

sending love to all the first-year PhD students who feel like imposters right now. I remember the name-dropping, the knowing nods, the performative contributions—it’s all smoke & mirrors. you’re there to learn, not to know everything already. you are enough!

We're playing a game here at the weather bureau this morning we like to call 'is it rain 🌧️or is it birds🐦?' While we have plenty of returns showing up on radar, not all of them are meteorological. We use a tool called correlation coefficient to tell the difference. #mnwx #wiwx

We mapped the connections between high order sensory inputs and memory cells in the octopus brain, first-ever reconstructed octopus memory circuit: data and principles of circuit assembly today in eLife doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…, joint work w/ Flavie Bidel Hebrew University& Harvard University,RT!👇

It's World Oceans Day! Here at CCI, we all love the ocean and we're doing our best to conserve one of the vital species in it.

What are you doing for the ocean this #WorldOceansDay ?

Plenty of Canadian wildfire smoke aloft again today. This model simulation of upper level smoke (🔴= more) does a great job of highlighting where a strong cold front is (🔵= less) and how it will clear the smoke aloft tonight/tomorrow. The bad news? #mnwx #wiwx (1/2)...

Presenting my dissertation defense seminar this Friday, May 12th at 9am Central 🥳

I'll cover propolis use by honey bees and stingless bees, and the impacts of industrial agriculture on honey bee health 🐝🥓🚜

Let me know if you'd like a link to attend virtually ✨

We are excited to present our new site logo, designed by This Is Folly, with input from our researchers and wider MSP LTER Community!

I got promoted to full professor! Thank you 1st and foremost to my current & former trainees. Thank you also to my mentors and strong support from my Chairs, Dean, & colleagues. And thank you to the letter writers. I am very grateful for your time and I will pay it forward!

In the dark deep sea, sperm whales use echolocation to find food.

Their echolocation clicks are *loud*. 230 decibels loud. How loud is that? Well, loud enough that if a sound wave of 230 decibels hit ya, you'd be dead 😳

Want to learn more about how animals live in the dark?

Bob in Bob World 💙 Did you know that bobtails are nocturnal creatures? Daytime - they hide in the sand. Nighttime - they emerge as stealthy hunters!

The MBL is committed to expanding the range of organisms used as biological models and create the next generation of genetically tractable research organisms.

The four contests in the #MBLMarchMadness New Research Organisms Division represent some of these biological models.

I normally don't do 🧵on snow events this far in advance. But the magnitude of this week's looming snow event still looks anywhere from seriously impactful, to potentially epic. Here's an early look at the most likely storm outcomes for Tuesday night through Thursday. ❄️❄️

Our cuttlefish UMN CBS are growing and now like to show how spikey they can look (using their papillae). Looking forward to visual perception projects working with these amazing animals.
