Remember Leland Melvin and his viral NASA portrait? Well he wrote a graphic novel called Space Chasers which is a STEAM heavy sci-fi about some kids who get the chance to go up in space. #booksky #blackbooksky #scifi #spacesky

We asked students from around the world to imagine what our planet would look like if 30% of land and water were protected by 2030.

Together with @livingoceans.bsky.social, #NatureforAll, and #FromTheBowSeat we got a look into the next generation’s vision for a greener, bluer Earth!!

A huge thank you to Jessie Rack, PhD, for joining us to share her passion for amphibians!

Fun fact: the Japanese giant salamander 🦎 can grow up to 5 feet long and has been around for 30 million years!

If you didn't know they were the biggest salamander in the world - now you do!
