@SarahMackAttack @AgentRedSquirrl I saw my first banana slug on a hike in Tongass National Forest… at first I had NO IDEA what I was looking at. Fungus? Slug? Mold? Actual banana? Radioactive goo? Then the lil guy poked up his cute slug ears 🥹🥰

This man is a HERO‼️ Francis Zuber ‘s headcam shows him rescuing a snowboarder who was buried head down in deep powder at Mt. Baker, Washington! Luckily, he spotted him as he almost passed him. #skiing #snowboarding

I would give this a standing ovation if I could. For now, this retweet will do. @edyong209 will always be a science writer I admire and look up to. Enjoy your time away, Ed, and thank you for the incredible work you’ve done to help us understand so many aspects of the pandemic.
Ed Yong is not here@edyong209

🧵Some personal news: I’m taking a 6-month sabbatical, starting now. These past 3 years have been the most professionally meaningful of my life, but they’ve also deeply broken me. The pandemic isn’t over, but after a long time spent staring into the sun, I need to blink. 1/

Growing furniture from seed seems like pure whimsy until you walk into any furniture store except ikea and somehow it takes 17 months to order a chair

Y'all ever find yourselves recycling transition phrases? I've been using "all told" a lot. No one send this to my editors.

I’m about to start teaching again next week, and I would love to incorporate some short activities (5-7 minutes) into my lectures to support my undergraduate students’ mental health and well-being. Any suggestions would be most appreciated! @OpenAcademics @AcademicChatter

Update: @douggould1 and @2percentwilk are spot on!!! I only have rice vinegar so I gave that a whirl with dish soap and have put one little cup near my fruit bowl and another one near my window of houseplants, and after 1hr> these things are divebombing right in ☠️

Fell out of my tweeting habit but officially returning to ask a Very Important Question: how do YOU get rid of the tiny fruit flies that seemingly ride into your home on each new fruit haul and potted houseplant? I’m sick of swatting/clapping/waving my arms around 🦑 Plz advise!
