There is no experience more awe-inspiring than witnessing the Earth create itself.

A photo of me standing on a hill immediately before an erupting volcano. Via zoom / lens compression, it appears as if my silhouette is right on the edge of the volcano, but I am a safe distance away from the bright, vibrant, orange-yellow lava propelled above the Earth's surface.

If anyone is looking for a grounded perspective on AI, Melissa is one of the best in the business. Informed and fair, she cuts through the hype with an unapologetically pragmatic take that covers all aspects of the story. We’re lucky to have her voice in a AI landscape dominated by hype & hyperbole.

Hi BlueSky! I'm a senior reporter covering AI for MIT Technology Review. My focus is on cutting-edge AI research and how AI is changing our society. Follow me if you're interested in learning about how AI works, where it fails, and where it is going next. I'm also allergic to AI hype lol

#InsertAnInvert blobfest: Blobbageddon!
Nomura's jellyfish
I feel like I've been trying to paint an ancient, dangerous ocean god from another dimension and now my brain is going to slip out and become a jellyfish too. My problematic fave is definitely this blob.
#SciArt #Art

Digital painting of a large Nomura's jellyfish, in dreamy shades of yellow, orange, and peach. White tentacles curl and billow from the bottom of its form, while its top region is shaped like a mushroom.

This is not a drill, a mummified sabretooth cat has been published from the #Pleistocene permafrost of Russia. It's a Homotherium cub! The team (Lopatin et al.) reckon it's Homotherium latidens. It's too young to have enlarged upper canines. Paper is OA ... www.nature.com/articles/s41... cont...

Just learned the absolutely insane news that a cub of what is likely a Homotherium latidens was found and just described. Couldnt help but make a quick study of it. Too busy to take it any further now but i’m sure i’ll return to it as soon as I’m able

- A male Voay robustus rests with a female C. niloticus during the breeding season about 1000 years ago.
He´s blissfully unaware that he is the last member of his species, but that's okay.
What's extinction compared to the love of a lady and the warm rays of the sun on your face? -

Beast Fables: Megafauna of Ifranika.

In Urvara, though other continents have longer and larger creatures, no other continent has such a concentration of large megafauna like Ifranika. From big cats to elephants to the last deinothere, all call Ifranika home.

Cratena Peregrina, perched on a totally normal rock™ for #Nudivember :3
This lovely little dragon was a challenge to draw, but I'm pretty happy with them! I was inspired by a photograph I saw of one climbing on a sneaky rockfish. 🧡

#art #nudibranch #sciart #marinelife

A digital painting of a cratena peregrina nudibranch sitting on a rockfish's head. The nudibranch faces the viewer. Their body is a pearlescent white, and their cerata are a gradient of orange, red, purple, and blue. They have two orange patches on their face. The rockfish has a glassy, brown-yellow eye surrounded by cream-coloured stripes. Its body is a mottled orange and red with lighter patches and speckled colouration to mimic a stony ocean floor.
