This is so cool. I love how they made the North American Great Lakes the frame for this comparison.

Phenomenal. Bar-tailed Godwit has broken its own record: a first-year bird (five months old!) has flown 13,560 km—just shy of the direct flight limit of a Boeing 787—from Alaska to Tasmania, seemingly non-stop, in just 11 days (avg. speed: c.51 km/hr). https://t.co/Q3vemnrKaF

Just want to give a shoutout to all the great workers behind #ScienceWriters2022, and thank them for a mask policy that forces me to consume my own coffee breath, rather than blasting it on others.

This is Tracey Howard, sitting on the porch where he found his wife yesterday after she’d been shot and killed. The shooter also killed their dog. Howard had gone to Lowe’s for lightbulbs and came back home to the unimaginable scene. “This is my life now,” he said.
