a drawing of a person with dark blonde hair, headphones and a raincoat, who's holding a bag of red and yellow flowers. it's the first panel of a comic. in the background, some doves fly. the text reads "how lucky am I to be born human. With hands to create and a complex brain to think with"
we zoom in on the doves in the sky, who are flying high above a grassy park, in which a cat is laying on a dirt path. the text reads "how lucky am I to be born a dove. To be able to fly, and do so in a flock"
we zoom in on the cat laying on the path, which is white with red markings. next to it, a line of ants is walking with a great deal of food. the text reads "how lucky am I to be born a cat. to be able to catch mice and enjoy the sun whenever I please!"
we zoom in on the ants, who are walking towards some half-eaten fruit  in the grass, next to a picnic basket. there's a greenfly sitting on the red apple on the left. the text reads "how lucky am I to be born an ant. To always walk with purpose and work as a team"
we zoom in on the greenfly on the apple. it has an explanation above its head. the text reads "how lucky... how lucky... hm... oh! I know! how lucky am I"
the text continues on the next and final panel, which is a stylised view of earth from space. to the top left is the sun and it is surrounded by stars. the final sentence, now complete, reads "how lucky am I to be born"

I don't think it should be weird, for me to put a fruit fly outside

The thing I admire most about David Tennant is that the man wanted to be doctor who since childhood. Worked hard to become an actor.And actually fucking did it. And I dig that energy.

To dream and to actually do it

I want to apply that to my own life

Yes I will be the next david Attenborough. .Yes I will work for it. And no it isn't a childish fantasy.i want it and I will fucking do it and you don't get to tell me otherwise

Ok, the whole thing is to balance the three main flavor bases of the dish, saltiness, spice, and acid. It's basically chemistry and also an art as well. Are you done with the carrots?

Wahoo! May your sciencing uncover new swathes of knowledge :D

You Might Know This Tiny Frog.

You might know this tiny frog.

This is Mini mum (photo by Andolalao Rakotoarison), a species I had the pleasure to name—together with a team of amazing colleagues—back in 2019.

That was the start of a fascination with the process and consequences of miniaturisation for vertebrates. How the hell does this tiny frog manage to fit all of its vital organs—more or less all the same senses and organs that we have—into a package the size of a tic-tac‽ Why and how has it evolved to be so small? And why don't we get frogs that are much smaller?

Well, I just secured 1.5 MILLION Euros (!!!) in the form of a European Research Commission Starting Grant, to answer these and other related questions in the genomes of Mini frogs and other miniaturised vertebrates.

Because it turns out, there are *lots* of miniaturised vertebrates, and they push the boundaries of how small we think it is possible for a vertebrate to be! Here is a little graphic of some of them, scaled to a BIC ballpoint pen.

You Might Know This Tiny Frog.

The project is called GEMINI: The Genomics of Miniaturisation in Vertebrates! You can read more about it on my website here, and in the press release, here!
