I am so concerned about the use of plastic grass that if anyone on here is considering using it I will give you alternative advice ( free )as to how to landscape without it. If I can stop one square meter being layed it's worth the effort.

Was splitting Shale rock out on my front porch when all of a sudden boom! A nearly complete Olenellus sp. greets me who a "hello" after 521 million years. The Shale comes from the Lower Cambrian Rome Formation in Montevallo, Alabama.

For the seventh consecutive year, the largest source of planet-warming greenhouse gases in the United States is a coal-fired power plant in Alabama. 🏭 Read about it: al.com/news/2022/12/alabama-…

Wrapping up intro biology lab research presentations in style. Hand knitted and designed- every major phyla covered in the class ... and a few prokaryotes and viruses because the microbiologist in my department insisted 😊 I'm sure @markowenmartin would approve of the decision

Dee Kent, then 77, was on her way from Valley, Alabama, to a doc's appt. in Opelika when she was pulled over. Police cuffed & arrested her for failure to pay a $141 trash bill. She said her husband had recently died, and she sometimes forgets to pay. (1) bit.ly/3utTdDq

Recently read a quote that shook me to my core: "you only have a slightly better chance of becoming a tenure track professor as a professional athlete or rock star, and the money isn’t nearly as good" I know this already, right? But still is scary seeing it laid out like this!

“they circle; now dense like a polished roof, now disseminated like the meshes of some vast all-heaven-sweeping net...wheeling, rending, darting...a madness in the sky.” Edmund Selous, 1905
OK so tonight might just be the best I’ve ever seen. Mesmerising doesn’t come close.

My dissertation's final chapter is now in @royalsociety #OpenScience! We hypothesized that the head and post-cranial body could evolve independently in armored catfishes due to functional constraints. Turns out, we were WRONG! (1/3) royalsocietypublishing.org/d…
