COVID is not over. Scientists are worried about bird flu. We need to be ready for the next pandemic. Right now we need to depoliticize and normalize mask-wearing. North Carolina’s anti-mask bill recklessly does the exact opposite.

This looks really cool! I would be happy to serve as a reviewer but it says postdocs need approval of their PI? How does that work? (I am a postdoc and I regularly review for other journals)

Here's an example of an ENGO not thinking about the broader picture, other movements & science when launching a new pollinator initiative. Lights harm moths, migrating birds, fireflies & other wildlife. We should not be encouraging more lights, esp in the name of pollinators

#InsertAnInvert2024
Relationships - Babies
After hatching, vinegaroon babies cling to their mother's butt for protection, forming a clump of tangled orbs with legs.
In most species, this lasts for a few weeks, until the dozens of babies are old enough to molt for the very first time. 🎨 🐡
