Every fall, Americans send about 8 million tons of bagged leaves to landfills. But you don't have to. Keep leaf litter on the ground — it fertilizes the soil and gives shelter to small wildlife. n.pr/3FazW0t

Ok folks. It’s time we talked about eels. I’m a geologist but I recently learnt about eels and… wow. Since then, I’ve been greeting strangers with ‘DO YOU KNOW ABOUT EELS?!’ Well, consider yourself a stranger in my path. Strap in. It’s a 🧵 1/so many

God, science amazes me sometimes. I was emailing an old friend about paleontology geekery—he’s a paleoecologist—and he mentions casually that we can date the Chicxulub impact to early June because of the paddlefish otoliths. Hang on, what now?
It'd also be a cool way to take advantage of our innate interest in following each other's gaze (more on that here: 2newthings.com/our-eyes-are-d…)
I really want this to be a standard feature in all self-driving cars, largely because it'd be adorable gizmodo.com/self-driving-c…
My illustrations don't really resemble Kim Jung Gi's art (much to my disappointment…) but I've always been in awe of his work. If you're not familiar with him, take a few minutes to watch him create intensely complex images with seemingly minimal effort: youtube.com/watch?v=MGbvhy…

Images of the DART asteroid impact are coming in from @LICIACube, the little cubesat that flew by as it hit, and...wow.

This is a cockatoo squid! It’s a type of cranchiid squid. You might think “Oh nice! It’s see-through! Must be a reasonable size!” Lol, nope! This one may have been a reasonable size, but they can get uhh. Ginormous? Up to 4 meters 🫣 Happy #Squidtember! 📷: @MBARI_News

Nanuqsaurus in autumn, a tyrannosaur from Late Cretaceous Alaska. Inspired to share this piece again since the beginning of autumn is today and coincided with the first fall frost in my part of the world.

As this question returns now and then, here a short thread on the story behind these fantastic photos. Yes, they did have motorised scooters over a century ago, lots of them, they were kind of a craze, well, among those who could afford them of course. 🧵with many cool pics:

I lost all sense of space & time and spent 4 hours answering squid questions over on r/Awwducational 😅 A couple people asked if squid were soft, which I don't think anyone has asked me before! (they're not soft, no). Here's the AMA for any interested! reddit.com/r/Awwducationa…
Hmm... #MidJourney AI's grasp of dinosaur anatomy is about as reliable as a Medieval European's take on lions or hippos. These are supposedly Triceratops #dinosaurs #AiArtwork
