A close-in image of protoplanetary disc HH 30. Parts of the image are labelled “Jet” (above and below the disc), “Conical Outflow”, “Possible Spiral”, “Dark Lane”, “Disk”, and “Tail”. A scale marker in the bottom-left is labelled “300 au”; this is a little wider than the disc itself, but less wide than the conical outflows above and below the disc

New JWST image of protostar HH 30, with legend.

Silent Erosion …

… in so many ways …

While Roman engineers and architects were building cities, termites in Brazil excavated a massive network of galleries, creating millions of mounds that persisted until today and can be seen from space phys.org/news/2018-11... … A good reminder of the power and scale of collective intelligence.

Federal funds made me. I was in the free school lunch program. Went to public K-12 schools. I was a Pell grant recipient at a state university. I was a Fulbright Scholar. I received an EPA STAR Graduate Fellowship for my PhD. My lab is currently funded by an NIH R01 grant: gibbons.isbscience.org

A quick intro to anybody dropping by. I’m a #landscapephotographer drawn to the wilder spots in Scotland. You are most likely to find me in or around the Caledonian forest if not at work. Here are a few old favourites

Even helped me to talk about it, thanks for sharing!

One day 🤞🏼

From my colleagues Kyle Harper and David Wolpert at the Santa Fe Institute:

Position for two-year postdoc with background in computer science interested in working with social scientists/historians to study social evolution through computational lens. Details here: santafe.edu/about/jobs/p...

How much of an incredible bear shot is that 🤩?!
One of the best images I’ve seen lately.
I really recommend following Viktoria’s incredible work.

Thank you!

Any recommendations outside the photo as to where to begin reading up on his works?

volcano built in minecraft

Do you know someone who loves playing Minecraft?! BGS have a range of geological models and environments built in Minecraft which are free to access through our website (Including a volcano!)

Happy building 🌋⚒️😎

Gosh, has it been 22 years already 😱 First GIS model on Laminaria hyperborea kelp forest distribution 🌱, with the purpose of studying harbour seal resource selection 🦭, www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Happy to share another paper from my PhD was published recently - covering 2 chapters! Using hidden Markov models and step selection functions to analyse fine-scale acoustic telemetry data and then predict spatial usage from model output 🐟 #trackingnotslacking

Ok people. I’m drawing silhouettes this afternoon. If you have a paper coming up and you are in need of a #silhouette please let me know and I will have it ready today. As always I upload all my silhouettes to phylopic.org

I also have tutorials on how to put a silhouette in a plot in R.

Is there (like in physics) a "least action" principle for ecological network complexity, from microbiomes to forests? Check our paper in @currentbiology.bsky.social led by MIT + @sfiscience.bsky.social Serguei Saavedra & @jie-eco.bsky.social
