If yall like the critters in the game, you should give @beyondblathers a listen. I just started it and am on the 8th episode already. Its easy to binge, features good hosts, and some p awesome information, including the conservation status of the critters talked about #ACNH

Can video games enhance and enrich science education? Sofia and Olivia from @beyondblathers say "yes", and took the time to talk to the Root & STEM podcast about why. Check it out: ow.ly/ROEl50MrZXt #STEM #VideoGames #STEAM #podcast

In this throwback episode from 2020, join me & @Liv_deBee for a review of reindeer! We discussed how they're so well suited to the chilly climates they thrive in, from the tips of their antlers all the way down to their clicky hooves. Check it out wherever you get podcasts!

Also, if you downloaded the episode this morning and only heard Olivia's audio, please re-download it as we've fixed that error now. Sorry about that!

Have you listened to our series on sturgeon yet? In part 1 we talked about their physiology and ecology, and this week we're talking all about sturgeon conservation — did you know this is the most endangered animal group in the world? beyondblathers.buzzsprout.com/1179344/118534… #scicomm #science

@CalgaryResponse With bonus inside stickers from @beyondblathers

As I settle in to work on data for our past seasons, I think, why dive in immediately? Why not ask everyone to share their laptop sticker collections? I know I’m not the only one! Let’s see what you’ve got! #Stickers #LaptopSwag

@no_good_wyfe We love them so much 🥰

Nudis 😭

We also talked about the glaucus atlanticus, or blue sea dragon, which is definitely really an actual dragon and I cannot be convinced otherwise. Also they eat Portuguese man o' wars??

And here are a couple of the amazing sea slug species we talked about in this episode! First up the famous Spanish Dancer (not to be confused with a sheep's lung):

Our new episode on sea slugs is out now!! We had so much fun with these incredibly diverse and beautiful creatures. Give it a listen here! beyondblathers.buzzsprout.com/1179344/116885… #AnimalCrossing #Science #ScienceTwitter #SciComm
