i reflected on my childhood and naturalism and how dismally white environmental work is and whether cicadas can remedy that: my latest, a rare personal essay for @AtmosMag: atmos.earth/thanks-cicadas-f…

Thanks, Cicadas, for Democratizing a Love of Nature | Atmos

As the cicada dual emergence approaches, climate editor Jason P. Dinh muses on the insects as nature’s great equalizers.

Our ongoing research at @BhamlaLab with Nithil Nagappan and @_JacobSHarrison on Rhagovelia water-walking insects was featured on @APSphysics news. Trying to understand why this macro-scale insect moves in a curious run and tumble-like motion like E-coli. aps.org/publications/apsnews…

my last ever paper—and my Ph.D. magnum opus—is out @eLife :’) we showed what snapping shrimp gain and lose by growing huge, remarkable weapons or, as @CWMillerLab put in her review, “why animals cannot have it all” a 🧵: 📸: Sarah Longo elifesciences.org/articles/8…

Just wow. How can this tiny shrimp be faster than a bullet?? @_JacobSHarrison and the folks at @GeorgiaTech need a round of a-claws (sorry) for this one bbc.in/41UfXw3

What's faster than a bullet? A snapping shrimp. And what's faster than a snapping shrimp? A baby snapping shrimp! Read about BioGrad alum @_JacobSHarrison @patek_lab's latest paper @J_Exp_Biol: bit.ly/3mjyNfn

Tiny snapping #shrimp youngsters are capable of accelerating their with 0.03mg claws in water as #fast as bullets and 20 times faster than their parents to cavitate water and produce explosive pops @_JacobSHarrison @patek_lab @DukeBiology journals.biologists.com/jeb/…

Young snapping shrimp's tiny claws beat underwater acceleration record newscientist.com/article/236… new research by @_JacobSHarrison and Sheila Patek @patek_lab

Young snapping shrimp’s tiny claws beat underwater acceleration record | New Scientist

Juvenile bigclaw snapping shrimp can clamp their claws nearly 20 times faster than their parents. The acceleration is similar to a bullet leaving a gun and even faster than mantis shrimp

Take that! Our #Midweekmovie, from @_JacobSHarrison @patek_lab, shows the ultrafast strike of a snapping shrimp; the cavitation bubble, produced by the spring-loaded claw, implodes with a pop & a flash of light to incapacitate their opponent. @J_Exp_Biol: journals.biologists.com/jeb/…

Flossen hoch, oder ich schieße! #Pistolenkrebse können einen Knall und eine Schockwelle erzeugen, die ihre Beute betäubt. Bei Jungtieren beschleunigt die Schere auf unglaubliche 580.000 m/s2 – schneller als bei erwachsenen Tieren @_JacobSHarrison spektrum.de/news/beutefang-p…

Beutefang: Pistolenkrebs-Kinder zielen schneller als ihre Eltern

Schon mit einem Monat lernen Pistolenkrebse, wie sie mit ihren Scheren einen Knall und eine Schockwelle erzeugen, die ihre Beute betäuben können
