Fascinating research on chimpanzees. They fracture into groups, wage war on each other, are aggressive, develop border patrols, isolate, etc.

Every once in awhile I catch up on the state of knowledge about really early evolution and there's at least one phylogeny where you have to hunt for the eukaryotes

Content warning: CW: auspol, science funding, fossil fuels.
Let’s face it: $500 million’s a lot of money. It has to come from somewhere.
If we give astronomers half a billion for their networked telescopes, for instance, the fossil fuel industry might need to pay market rate for their diesel—for a whole *week and a half.*

I love science, and it pains me to think that so many are terrified of the subject or feel that choosing science means you cannot also choose compassion, or the arts, or be awed by nature. Science is not meant to cure us of mystery, but to reinvent and reinvigorate it.

To amuse myself I'm evaluating baits for mosquito-killing buckets: oak leaves, straw, log, and beetroot skins. Leaves and straw are standards but I'm curious whether I can attract tree-hole species (e.g., Aedes triseriatus) with the partially submerged wood. And beets are packed with geosmin (a sesquiterpenoid), a known oviposition attractant. Stay tuned. #mosquitoes #science #biology #entomology

What happens when you connect 400 car batteries in series and zap stuff? Anthony Drake will show you with this video. A couple years ago he hooked up 100 batteries. YouTube had some problems with that and almost cancelled his channel. He added some safety tips and they’re happy now. It’s 2 hours long and worth the time. It’s only ≈65V but he gets up to 150,000 amps. #science

Forget describing new species, how often are we adding new genera, families, orders, and classes? New higher-order clades are often "hidden" as symbionts or in less-accessible habitats

Here are the Houdini fly traps attached to my insect hotel. The malbec, grape vinegar, and water cups are all attached in a slightly haphazard way, but hopefully will be useful in assessing whether Nicole Kenney's idea (use malbec to attract them) works on the east coast, too. My big concern is that I only saw one Houdini fly today so I might be setting it up too late. #BeeHotel #InsectHole #osmia #flies #science #biology #diptera
