If you were a bug what kind of bug would you be? I can’t put my finger on it but PERSONALLY I feel pretty scarab-y

The universe has granted me this mofo

I love you mate but you're DUMB

This is too pure and beautiful to not broadcast into the world <3

FUCK-

You know what to do, do it with style.

EEEE colorful bugs and birds and flowers!!! I LOVE-

The thing I admire most about David Tennant is that the man wanted to be doctor who since childhood. Worked hard to become an actor.And actually fucking did it. And I dig that energy.

To dream and to actually do it

I want to apply that to my own life

Yes I will be the next david Attenborough. .Yes I will work for it. And no it isn't a childish fantasy.i want it and I will fucking do it and you don't get to tell me otherwise

#ROUGHHH this is awesome :0 #Although my anatomy books still keep haunting me #that is NOT how chicken leg joints work #still very cute tho

Thank you @deathwords334 for your commission, and fueling my sims madness ❤️ Aziraphale cottage core themed, being chased by a very bewildered chicken…

My mum trying to teach me cooking:

Ok, the whole thing is to balance the three main flavor bases of the dish, saltiness, spice, and acid. It's basically chemistry and also an art as well. Are you done with the carrots?

Meanwhile me:

AMOGUS

The theory of natural selection basically:

There's a more efficient designer than God, bitch. DEATH

My art probably peaked here lmao

Wahoo! May your sciencing uncover new swathes of knowledge :D

You might know this tiny frog.

This is Mini mum (photo by Andolalao Rakotoarison), a species I had the pleasure to name—together with a team of amazing colleagues—back in 2019.

That was the start of a fascination with the process and consequences of miniaturisation for vertebrates. How the hell does this tiny frog manage to fit all of its vital organs—more or less all the same senses and organs that we have—into a package the size of a tic-tac‽ Why and how has it evolved to be so small? And why don't we get frogs that are much smaller?

Well, I just secured 1.5 MILLION Euros (!!!) in the form of a European Research Commission Starting Grant, to answer these and other related questions in the genomes of Mini frogs and other miniaturised vertebrates.

Because it turns out, there are *lots* of miniaturised vertebrates, and they push the boundaries of how small we think it is possible for a vertebrate to be! Here is a little graphic of some of them, scaled to a BIC ballpoint pen.

The project is called GEMINI: The Genomics of Miniaturisation in Vertebrates! You can read more about it on my website here, and in the press release, here!
