Back home from a bike and hike with a friend. I'm absolutely devastated.
Every muscle from my hips downward hurts. But I made it!

It used to be that the use of #genAI for #PeerReview was forbidden (at least for anything else other than helping with the language).

What happens when bees can’t buzz right? Nature starts falling apart #nature

What happens when bees can’t buzz right? Nature starts falling apart
High heat and heavy metals dampen a bumblebee’s trademark buzz, threatening pollen release and colony chatter. Tiny sensors captured up-to-400-hertz tremors that falter under environmental stress, raising alarms for ecosystems and sparking ideas for pollination robots.

Taughannock Falls beauty and inspiration

Saw this guy a few days ago. Just a few houses up 🦉
Then last night I hear this screech again from our upstairs bedroom window. So I use the Merlin app to identify it as a Great Horned Owl. Then I played the various sounds and learned that this is a juvenile doing a "begging call", which is a raspy screeching sound young owls use to solicit food from their parents.
Kids, man. They always need something.
