New Review π
The molecular evolution of vertebrate organs: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Margarida Cardoso-Moreira discusses rates of evolution of organs and cell types, molecular mechanisms of organ evolution and how complex traits contributed to the diversification of vertebrates.
@svengoolieofficial.bsky.social is the best!
Love this one!
#SICB2026 expo
ICB EIC , Ulrike Muller who headed up Leapfrogging for change - doing #science in 2026.
The booth focused on building a network of #Biologists willing to help elevate the public perception of science in 2026.

Just showed this to the college students in my monsters class and their minds were blown after they initially laughed at the idea of it
Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes!
"Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."
The sexual selection hypothesis always made the most sense to me given what we know about extant taxa.
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

First paper from our big study of climate impacts on green anole phenotypes. More coming soon!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. Itβs dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"
All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

Yay, itβs finally close to average here!
Iβm seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch.
Itβs de-escalation. And itβs grounded in the social science of violence. π§΅
What a #SICB2026 conference! If youβd like to talk science and monsters with me on YouTube (Monster vs Data!) let me know below! Tell your colleagues too!

Mostly randomβ¦
This one hurts.
Need to see this!
Our recent paper on lizard societies now online in a special issue of Animal Behaviour. DM if you want me to send you a PDF.
Love horror movies and going to #SICB2026 ? Letβs talk! Iβm starting a fun YouTube channel and Iβd love to invite you on!
Oof
Not a documentary but an interesting article about some of these questions: www.messynessychic.com/2022/08/31/h...
So great!
The obvious bots commenting on these stories on social media about whatβs going on in St. Paul is ridiculous. It sucks to live in an age of misinformation and awful algorithms.
