There was a sharp contrast in departures last month between Greenland (much colder) and western Siberia (much warmer).

This week's #NewBooks at the library:
- I adopted a damaged copy of John Wright's #Grasslands: The Intricate Life of Britain's Hidden Habitats from Profile Books.
- I bought The Stuff of Legends: #Fantasy #Miniatures from the Golden Age, Volume 1 by the late Richard Hale, published by Shaggy Dog Publishing.
- I found a very good deal on Franz-Josef Brüggemeier's The Age of #Coal: A History of Europe, 1750 to the Present, published by Oxford University Press.

Wolf Pup Developmental Milestones | Wolf Conservation Center

The speed of physical pup development is mind blowing! Although no bigger than one pound at birth, wolves reach their adult size in less than one year, and reach sexual maturity at about two years old.

For those that observe, may you and yours be blessed w/ abundance & balance this #equinox

On Sept 23 0005 UT (Sept 22 2005 EDT), the Sun crossed the celestial equator heading southward. Thus, astronomical fall begins in northern hemisphere, or while spring in the southern hemisphere,

UMass Amherst Sunwheel teaches these basic sky knowledge concepts vividly.

Mineral Cup Round 2 Match 5

Putnisite vs Julienite

Julienite is just some blue mineral (which beat Calcite! 😩) so I am voting Putnisite for the distinct pleochroism of its purple to blue-grey crystals. Plus it is named, in part, after a woman in STEM (which is shockingly rare!) mineralogist Christine Putnis and her spouse Andrew.

🐕 NEW: When a #dog’s back leg thumps as you scratch its flank, the movement comes from the pruritic scratch #reflex, a reflex arc where sensory #nerves send a signal straight to the #spinalcord without waiting on the #brain.

The wiring likely evolved as pest control against #fleas, #ticks, and burrs. Veterinarian Nancy Thomas explains that the kick signals irritation rather than pleasure.

Why do dogs' legs shake during pets? It's not because they like it.

That twitchy leg is a signal from your dog's nervous system.

You know how years ago it seemed everyone was playing #sudoku during bits of "off time"? And these days it seems everyone is #knitting?

It got me curious and made me wonder: Is knitting more populair than sudoku?

As I regularly travel by train this seemed a good setting to investigate this question.

For about half a year (jun25-dec25) I collected data during train journeys (methodology & data disclosure in the thread).

I now have an answer. ->

Two years ago, a group of older men told me that “everything on the history of women in science has already been published” 🙃🤦‍♀️

Two papers on Rosalind Franklin is “research completed”…

I'll be back in the UK in early September to do some public events for my new book The World Beneath our Feet. Tickets are available online now for these events, and I'd love to see you there.

These will be a mixture of talks and conversation-style interviews, with some supported by exhibitions of my soil animal macrophotography - its promising to be great fun!

I have a couple of spare dates, so DM me ASAP if your institution or bookshop are interested in hosting an event, and we'll see what's possible.

I recently gave a NerdNite talk about the weird and wonderful ways soil animals survive the challenges of life, and their complex (and sometimes quite romantic) love lives. I had an absolute blast, and the recording is now up on YouTube!

Warning: this was an evening talk in a pub setting, so it has some adult humour and might not be for everyone. But, if you can stomach talk about slugs chewing off their own penises, and mites constructing 'love gardens' out of their own semen, then this talk is for you!
