This footage shot by a tourist aboard Jacksonville Boat Charters near Amelia Island, Florida shows a leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea). At 2000 lbs (900 kg) & 7 ft long (2.1 m) they're the largest turtles & indeed one of the heaviest extant reptiles on Earth. Here There Be Monsters!

1) This rules 2) Your dad annoying you so profoundly that you drew 478 fish is the most relatable thing I have ever seen.

On Tues Oct 27th, Philly will have gone a full month without access to the Academy of Natural Sciences. Join us at academy at 6pm for a candlelight vigil. We’re keeping the light of hope alive. Wear black if you have it. We’re the dark times, but this fight isn’t over.

Deep sea shark!!!

Meep! Meep!! Double crested cormorant coming through!!! #doublecrestedcormorant #cormorant #seabird #seabirdsofcoralcity #coralcitycamera

Another older Halloween comic. I lost the old file so I recently had to redraw it, and I had a lot of fun revisiting this.

In two weeks, head to Georgetown University for an evening program: Birds and the Power of People: A Celebration of Science, Art, and Conservation! Through art, conversation, and demonstrations, explore how collective effort gives us genuine reason for hope about the future of migratory birds.

I'm at the car dealership waiting for my car to be serviced and I got a jump scare seeing L. Ron Hubbard's book, just chilling with other books for people waiting. Makes me think about his #behindthebastards episode. @iwriteok.bsky.social

#SaveTheAcademy of Natural Sciences and reopen its public museum! It holds one of the largest collections of South American freshwater fishes in the world including type specimens that I and my peers described and entrusted the museum to curate for perpetuity. @acadnatsci @savetheacademy @drexeluniv

“It’s a Crime” Much thanks to Grid Magazine for continuing to keep the Academy of Natural Sciences in the headlines. Do the right thing, Drexel. #savetheacademy gridphilly.com/blog-home/20...

I usually don't mind reading papers but trying to get myself to sit down and do it is sooooo hardd

Join us on Thursday at noon Eastern, right here on the internet, for a virtual rally to learn about the latest on the academy of natural sciences fiasco, and what YOU can do about it. We've got a killer lineup of speakers and more coming soon. Register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

When your husband gets up before you and your dog takes his place #dogsofbluesky

We have sycamore, horse chestnut, and pine trees on our street and my daughter likes collecting the seeds on our walk to school so we have a box full now. Just missing some acorns! We tried planting a few horse chestnuts in a pot, but I think a squirrel dug them up. #kidlitart #autumn

A month and a half into my oceanography masters and it is interesting how I see these videos differently. I notice the water clarity and how it means few nutrients in the water, the temp is around 4°C which is what the bottom temp is around basically the whole world, the salinity seems a little low?

Haha hard to get a picture of the whole crew. Perfect day for a walk in the park with friends! #dogsofbluesky

Halloween costumes for birders. This is from last year and someone actually did the sexy owl pellet one.

Any fool can see the absurdity of culling an animal that lives for 400 years and only reaches sexual maturity at 150.

New Merch Alert!! Fish. The ocean's full of 'em. And protecting the ocean is a global job, so we better learn the word for fish in as many languages as we can fit on a tote bag. Support @skypeascientist.bsky.social by getting a *sturdy* tote bag with a zipper (with a zipper!!!) at SquidFacts.net

Little Cormorant Hunt 29/09/26 - 18 colours

Does anyone know the stats on this stuff? I have some bird feeders and I love when the birds come back the last thing I want to do is hurt our local birds. I just planted a little native plant pollinator garden (hasn't bloomed yet) so I'm not just feeding the birds.

Little green heron painting 💚The small size really helped me get over my painting anxiety #art

I'm not sleeping! You are sleeping! #dogsofbluesky

Couldn't let fat bear week pass me by without sculpting a little something 🐻 cheeky fella!

I could read papers for my thesis OR I could read @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social 's new book! Hmmm... tough choice.

This is the Stolen Neighbors Quilt. Each of the 11,000 squares represents a person taken by ICE in Minnesota.

Sorry for the weird sidebar. This site isn't made for mobile. This is the Slocum glider fighting the current to try to get to it's waypoint in this Nor'easter. They are buoyancy driven so not going very fast.

I love this @xkcd.com comic. So accurate.

If you have to catch up on academic readings for your thesis why not do it in the hammock?

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Happy mushroom season!

I knit this sweater when my best girl Angel was getting older and couldn't stay as warm. 12 years later as it gets cooler our new dog Willow tries it on for size. #handknit #dogsofbluesky

Really excited most of the plants in my native pollinator garden is growing!

Reposting this would be very helpful. We're having a tough month at Skype a Scientist between much of my energy being devoted to Academy of Natural Sciences stuff. I need help!!

How is that comfortable? #dogsofbluesky

We're gonna need a bigger tree. Handmade lino print on paper. #birds #art #linocut #linoprint #printmaking #shark Liquoricelino.etsy.com

People say "what's wrong with Windows?" when I refuse to use it. Well today I had Microsoft word open in windows just looking at a small document and it crashed. That's my problem.

Treating this as an unstoppable race, and accepting the "endgame" of runaway warming, is a reckless gamble that should never be decided in a boardroom alone. Betting on future carbon removal to fix today's emissions requires far more confidence than the evidence supports.

I got to hold a baby terrapin today ❤️ 🐢

Really good stamp from @bittelmethis.bsky.social

Enjoy the roses blooming before the deer get them!

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

Let's continue with this one #bats #sciart

Please repost! Drexel announced that it will close the Academy of Natural Sciences public museum- the oldest nat history museum in the US. There are 2 petitions to support the academy. Please sign both & come to our rally Tues. actionnetwork.org/petitions/pe... www.change.org/p/the-academ...

A few Gila monster shot glasses fresh out the kiln. I’m obsessed with this concept! #lizard #pottery #ceramics #art
