If you’re in this wonderful corner of the science world, today’s news is really tough, esp for survivors of abuse & assault. I stand w/ victims, I believe Aisha & am having the person who appeared in a group episode edited out. My heart is w/ everyone affected by this trauma. 💖.

Breaking news: we didn’t fix systemic racism over the weekend. Read the #BlackintheIvory tweets for a stark, raw look at what your Black academic friends go through, and let’s stand up for them and call bullshit when we see it happen. #BlackLivesMatter.

Hello just a reminder that even pod dads sometimes have braindays that whisper “you are no gooooood” and emotions feel hard for no external reason, so you gotta sip a good coffee or thank a leaf for making O2 or remember how many great folks are out in the world.

Bruce I am a 42 year old woman and a former staff writer for the LA Times and there is nothing *not* disgusting about your tweet.
@Ologies I suspect your dad would edit your sentence and spank you for inserting the unnecessary and incorrect preposition “at”. If I became emperor of the world I would banish it from the language because it’s almost normal now for people to put lt at the end of sentences.

HELLO SCIENCE IS WEIRDER THAN SCIFI.
This zombie snail. A parasitic worm Leucochloridium has taken over its motor functions and eye stalks, making them into caterpillar mimics so birds will eat them. The worm can then reproduce in the bird's GI tract, eventually transmitting via its faeces 🤯

PHIL FINALLY GOT HIS #BOTFLY. As an entomologist he’s been waiting decades for this rite of passage. Who thinks he should send out an elegant birth announcement? All of us? Okay cool.
You asked for it! Here's my bot fly larva growing in my back, probably around 12 days old at this point. If you look closely you'll see two little dark hooks– those are its breathing spiracles it pokes out to get air.

I’m in a hotel eating cereal for dinner and doing sink laundry because I packed zero socks/underwear for a work trip. We are all a mess. You are not alone. In @ravenscimaven’s words, let’s give ourselves grace.
Serious question for everyone: . Is everyone else exhausted too or is there some life hack I’m missing?? Are y’all on amphetamines and just not telling me? I wake up tired, do some stuff until like 3 pm and then I’m ready for bed.
