To our NightLife Twitter friends: Starting today, we’re moving over to @calacademy! Don’t be a stranger, & be sure to follow all things NightLife there—we’ll label all tweets #CASNightLife. ✨

It wasn't the year we expected, but we want to thank the viewers & presenters who joined us as NightLife went online—we had no idea that when we launched "Virtual NightLife" in April that it would be the 1st of 29, but here we are! Here's the playlist! https://t.co/InfHNDDnLI 😘

BEST of 2020! 75+ episodes & 9+ months later, a planet-sized thanks to every single human who watched (or appeared on) one of our livestreams. To celebrate, a recap of 10 viewer favorites: https://t.co/kCIgRPgkis #MuseumAtHome

This Thursday marks the last NightSchool of 2020 (don't worry, we're back in 2021), so we're having a little festive fun with a Science Craft Fair, perfect for the holidays & showing off local artists & makers. Set a reminder for the event here: https://t.co/ymR9F3WypQ & then...

Here's a track to get you in the mood:

Tonight on NightSchool: Wild Cats on the West Coast, ft. Cameron Macias of the Olympic Cougar Project & Chris Wilmers of @ucsc & @santacruzpumas. Watch it live, 7pm PT on YouTube: https://t.co/emFJW118er

For #GivingTuesday , we're working to raise $9K—the cost of feeding our Species Survival Plan colony of African penguins for 100 days. (A huge help as we face our 2nd closure.) If you're able to give, it goes 3x further today on FB https://t.co/CQ086DCLZk. Thank you, humans! 🐟❤️

🦥 Tonight during NightSchool: The Slow Life of Sloths—Find out why this sloth is wearing a little hat, plus much much more! Tune in at 7pm PT, live on YouTube: https://t.co/QkYcE0rNv1 (📸: Bryson Voirin)

Hi. We just met this baby sloth while prepping for this week's NightSchool. It currently lives at @appc_panama, a wildlife rescue that cares for sick, injured, & orphaned animals. Learn more about their work (& meet this dude) this Thursday at 7pm PT: https://t.co/FjZt9rnJHO

7pm PT tonight: It's jelly time! We're back with NightSchool & a closer look at these gelatinous wonders. Join science writer @juliberwald, venomologist @GelatinousSting, science illustrator @NickBezioArt, & biologist Riah Evin live on YouTube: https://t.co/9eLwu31oQi

You feel that tingle going down your spine? Is it perhaps because you know our Halloween event is starting soon? Is it the thought of alligator carcasses? Jumping spiders? The Rice Rockettes? It's all coming at you, live on YouTube at 7pm PT: https://t.co/TDK53jl4XQ 🦑🕸⚰️

Zombie worms, football-sized creepy-crawlies, & a thieving shark.... three alligator carcasses meet three unique fates in the ocean deep... & only @benthic_bryant (and, you know, her research team) knows what happened. Tonight on Virtual NightLife, 7pm PT: https://t.co/TDK53jl4XQ

Yes, we're going to miss seeing all the incredible costumes at NightLife this Thursday, but we're still going to host some terrifying drag: Meet Estée Longah & Vermicelli Versace of the Rice Rockettes, your Virtual NightLife hosts & performers: https://t.co/TDK53jl4XQ

This Halloween, join our friends @Lets_Reimagine in facing death to embrace life. How would you want to be remembered? Think about it. Share it now. Share it during Virtual NightLife on Thursday. Or hold onto it for the future. ⬇️ https://t.co/TDK53jl4XQ

Look upon the face of this jack inside the bell of a jelly & tremble! (Though this jack is likely fine & will leave the jelly when it gets older.) Just one frightening images that photographer & blackwater diver Jeff Milisen will share this Thursday: https://t.co/TDK53jl4XQ

Live, 7pm PT: What had to happen over billions of years for us to exist right now? What did life on Earth look like 500 million years ago? Why does any of that matter? Tonight, read the fossil record with @mari_the_mammal, @NickSpanotweets, & @franzanth: https://t.co/N60SKmZlez

Feast your eyes on @franzanth's fossil cephalopod plate celebrating extinct invertebrate wonders. During this Thursday's NightSchool, Franz will talk about how he illustrates these squishy, soft-bodied creatures using only records of their hard shells: https://t.co/W9vbGEiYBS
