💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦾🏥 UC #SanDiego engineers achieved the first teleoperated #humanoid robot surgeries, successfully removing gallbladders in large #mammals.
The 27 kg (60 lbs) #robots called Surgie needed recalibration multiple times and faced latency issues, but operators found the controls surprisingly natural. Researchers believe lower-cost, nimble humanoid robots could expand surgical access to rural areas and battlefields.

"Great Aletsch Glacier" (2026)
Photo ©️ Dietmar Bachmann
📍Eggishorn #Switzerland
Above the sides of the current #glacier, the glacier’s elevation in 1870 is clearly visible at the vegetation line. Since then, it has lost over 100 meters in thickness and 2.5 km in length — and continues to retreat fast.

💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🕷️🦉 According to entomologist George McGavin, the massive whip #spider in #Guyana's #tropical #rainforest is the ultimate animal for hunting in the dark.
Flattened, fast, and equipped with spiky palps and incredibly long sensory #legs, there is no escape for #prey trapped in its spines.

A vast system of Atlantic currents that delivers warmth to northern Europe is at risk of collapse, according to a growing body of research. The latest study to warn of its demise finds there is at least a 10 percent chance that a collapse may already be “locked in.” Read more on E360 →

A heatwave in May set monthly temperature records across Europe; a heatwave in June became the hottest ever observed in western Europe. Now, in July, yet another heatwave is developing. Just 50 years ago, the June heatwave would have been virtually impossible. But global warming is making heatwaves more frequent, longer and more intense.
“This is just the start. Things are unfolding in a very, very major way now, because this isn’t just about it being too hot in London, and the long-term effects are going to be savage.”

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🌵🔪 #Biomechanics researcher Philip Anderson shows how #vipers evolved smooth fangs for quick withdrawal while #cactus barbs and #porcupine quills converged on hooks to stay put.
Even snail love darts and shark #teeth share triangular shapes designed for the same purpose of creating deep, wide openings. In all there are over 140 species of puncture tools found in #nature.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐦💞 Most #birds practice social #monogamy, but only a few species actually mate for life.
Ornithologist Bart Kempenaers from the #MaxPlanck Institute explains that longevity, predation risk, and site fidelity all influence whether #animals stay partnered. Even lifelong animal pairs don’t always mate exclusively, with “cheating” and “divorce” playing a role.

Azaleas Japanese Garden, CSULB, Long Beach, California [Prints Available]
Dedicated in April 1981, the 1.3 acre garden was built through the generosity of Mrs. Loraine Miller Collins in memory of her late husband, Earl Burns Miller. Following three years of planning, in cooperation with California State University Long Beach, landscape architect Edward R. Lovell was chosen to oversee its creation. The resulting garden reflects the university's continued interest in international education, student and community engagement, as well as the Miller’s interests in nature and wellness. The university is delighted to share this educational, cultural, and aesthetic resource with you.

Nature is a befuddling combination of regularity (high tide, then low tide, then high tide again) and what seems to be random weather catastrophes (tsunamis, earthquakes).
She's not tame or boring. But she also is not actuated by greed, so though she may be unexpected in her actions, she is not evil.
