Big paper coming out soon. Using AI, we mapped embryos of mice, alligators, turtles, rhesus macaques, and chickens in 3D and at single-cell resolution. We discovered something truly remarkable...stay tuned!

Scientists have discovered that cocaine-powered super salmon live longer and swim faster than normal salmon. They found that giving coke to salmon made them swim almost twice as far and live around 20 days longer than normal salmon during a test in Sweden.

All over the Goleta and Santa Barbara beaches the Velella have returned. Its only known species is Velella velella, a widely-distributed free-floating colonial animal that lives on the surface of the ocean. It is commonly known by the names by-the-wind sailor, or simply Velella.

He was so scared, he evaded rescue for weeks — but when they finally caught him, he was such a sweetheart 🧡 When Dodo producer Erica saw how hard the community worked to do what's best for this dog, she knew she had to share it with our audience. Watch how Angel finally opened up to new people ❤️‍🩹 Special thanks to Stacy Hope Rescue!

Give A Shit About Nature

Tucson made a simple change to 20,000 streetlights. Light pollution dropped 7%, energy bills dropped $2.16 million a year, and many songbirds were saved. Most LEDs have made light pollution worse. The cool-white lights most cities chose scatter into the sky at higher rates than the old sodium lamps. That scatter pulls migrating songbirds off course and drops them into lit buildings by the hundreds of millions each year. Tucson decided to do it differently. They used warm-white 3,000K LEDs instead of the standard 4,000K. They added full shielding so light points down, not sideways or up, and adaptive dimming. Lights run at 90% from sunset to midnight, then drop to 60% until dawn. Drivers and pedestrians reported no loss of visibility. Migrating birds passing over the city had a darker corridor to navigate than they'd had in decades. Most cities still haven't figured this out. Philadelphia, LA, and Phoenix have all run into problems with retrofits that increased sky glow despite using LEDs. The tech is solved. The implementation is a choice. Ask your city council what color temperature your streetlights are. Ask if they dim after midnight. Ask if they're shielded. Most people have never thought about it. Most elected officials haven't either. Never forget that the night sky is also habitat.

If you find a box turtle in your yard, there's just one rule to follow: do not relocate it. An eastern box turtle lives 50 years or more and spends its entire life inside an area about the size of a football field. It knows every log, every spring seep, every rotting stump. When you "rescue" it and drop it at a park five miles away, it spends the rest of its life trying to walk home. Often, the journey involves getting across roads, fences, and fields it has no map for. Cruelly, most just won't survive. Box turtles are declining across their range. Habitat loss, roads, and well-meaning kidnappings are the three biggest reasons. If one is in danger (crossing a road, in a driveway), move it a few yards in the direction it was already going. That's it. Don't take it home and don't drop it somewhere "safer." It already knew where it was.

I have zero respect for Steven Spielberg Before he made the movie Jaws, people never thought of sharks as killers or monsters He embedded that thought in millions of peoples mind where many people now hate sharks and after the movie there was a surge in shark killings

Vulture populations in India collapsed. 500,000 people died as a result. In the 1990s, Indian farmers started using a cheap painkiller called diclofenac on their cattle. When vultures ate the carcasses, the drug destroyed their kidneys. Without vultures, cattle carcasses rotted in fields instead of being stripped clean in 45 minutes. Feral dog populations exploded by five million. Rabies cases surged. Pathogens spread through water supplies. University of Chicago economists compared death rates in districts that used to have vultures to districts that never did. Human mortality rose more than 4% after the collapse. Over 100,000 extra deaths a year. Half a million in five years. India banned the drug in 2006. The vultures still haven't recovered. This is what a keystone species is to us. This is why we protect the animals nobody finds cute.
