Seeking higher ground, this slime mold plasmodium climbed up onto a dirt clod, toppled it, then retreated. Did the trauma of toppling have an effect? Did it retreat simply because it failed to maintain the high ground, or some other reason? Speed: 120x-5000x. #Myxomycetes

たくあんみたいなキノコを食べに来ていたトビムシ キノコをというよりはそこから出た胞子を食べてるように見える。 やわらかそうな質感の無防備なボディでヨチヨチ歩いている様子はこれで大丈夫なのか？と少し心配になるけど、そこが可愛いなと惹かれる要素なのだろうなあ…

もう柴犬はなさんがいないので、十和田湖周辺へゆっくり粘菌撮影に行ってきました。それにしても、まあ、キララホコリの美しいこと。直径１mmの粘菌に心を奪われてしまいました。小人の職人が、子実体の表面に、金で細工を施しているに違いありません！

ナミウチツノホコリの白い森が出来上がる様子(子実体形成のタイムラプス) どんどん枝分かれしていく様子が分かるけど、これを見ると樹木の枝分かれの仕方も気になってくる。

Remarkable satellite imagery this AM in NorCal/OR. #McKinneyFire exploded last night, generating massive pyrocumulonimbus cloud ~50,000 ft tall (!!). You can see smoke at two different heights: most in troposphere, but some (possibly) injected into stratosphere (!). #CAwx #CAfire

Here's a close up of the one popping its head out for the first time. They must be pretty squished in there!

リンゴドクガの中齢幼虫が脱皮するところです。くねくねして一度伸びてしばらく静止、そして一気に真っ白な毛の薄緑の幼虫が出てきます。

(Big Slime) It's so much larger than life (Big Slime) I'm gonna watch it growing 30-minute time lapse of a slime mold plasmodium from today in #RoysRedwoods

Hottest 7 years in recorded history for the global average temperature all occur in the last 7 years. 2021 has just come in as 5th hottest and this is how it looks...

.@KellyBrenner is not here (she’s on an extended Twitter break), but she was featured yesterday on Oregon Public Broadcasting’s web site opb.org/article/2022/01/03/u…

Seattle amateur scientist helping to unlock the secrets of slime molds

Despite their unappealing name, these one-cell wonders have been fascinating (and baffling) scientists for centuries.

Here’s an owl butterfly, still hanging from the chrysalis, flapping its wings for the first time and taking its first flight.

Acknowledging history needn't be difficult. You can bring it into everyday life, like the restaurant I passed yesterday, which had this card posted on its door:

An update on Omicron epidemic dynamics and where we stand today. Exponential growth cannot go on forever, but predicting when a wave will crest ahead of observing slowing in case growth is very difficult. 1/17

ドングリの穴がだいぶ大きくなってからでも40分以上掛かっていたので、穴の開け始めからだと1時間くらいかかってるかも。 と、言う事で40分以上の穴あけ作業を倍速をかけまくって短くしました🙂 途中頭が通るか確認して、またかじり始める動作もあって可愛かったです😂 #幼虫

アノマロカリス カナデンシス、量産型 #ロボ化石、内部メカニズムの初回テストやってみました。水中に入ると、ソフトリンク機構が水の抵抗を受けうまく働く設計です。付属肢も身体の反りと連動して動く事で付属肢を急に動かしても、バランスを崩さない予定です。　#Anomalocaris #Robot #Tatami

A 40 second clip form tonights murmuration at Fairburn Ings :) I've added an echo with multiplies the number of birds (it's a tough edit on 100 fps files) - more edits to come...
