Skinks are lizards, but some species have lost their limbs over eons of evolution, giving them a snakelike look. However, other skinks whose ancestors jettisoned limbs have, for reasons still unknown, brought them back.

LRT RIP #JoannaCole . As a kid, The Magic School Bus books made learning science joyous and enriched my understanding of the world and myself. Now grown up, I'm a biologist, a science comics artist, AND still rocking a Wanda Li haircut. The imprint was strong. Thank you. ✨🚍🦎💕

I believe science communication IS the final step of the scientific process, and the needs are immense and complex. So it’s really a dream come true to live my Ms. Frizzle fantasy and bring biology to art and design students, and vice versa.

This half-and-half dahlia is currently gracing my front yard. Plant genetics people, do I have this right? Copies of a pigment-making gene in this plant are usually disrupted by a transposon, but that transposon noped out early during development of this flower?

Anyone using several (6+) Pi Cameras to record animal behavior at once? How are you operating them all? I'm seeing good things about PiServer. Open to Pi alternatives too! Thanks 📹🐁🕳️ #animalbehavior #raspberrypi

Heat wave thought: why aren’t there “cold” counterparts to hot pepper eating contests? Are there Xtreme mint cultivars out there named Frost Reaper or something like that? I could use some right now.
