I want to design a thermal physiology lab for my Mammalogy course. The simplest way would be a bunch of math, but I wonder if anyone has developed a more interactive lab for that

more often than not, this is how I feel about AI

Colin Dickey @colindickey.com · 14d

Man, I'm sorry, but reading all these AI generated essays from students, it just sucks all the joy out of everything. It's exhausting, makes you into a weird paranoid cop, grinds you down, wastes your time, makes you feel like shit about everything.

Fuck this shit technology and all its enablers.

I feel that some papers receive a pass on the "share your data" requirement, even though journals declare their support for open science.

It does not seem to be a case of seniority or nationality. Not sure what it is

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Chimpanzés bebem o equivalente a uma cerveja por dia – DW – 22/09/2025

Estudo revela que, ao comerem frutas fermentadas, chimpanzés ingerem 1,4 doses diárias de álcool. Hábito pode estar ligado a raízes evolutivas compartilhadas com os seres humanos.

Quantas vezes ouvimos "não vai dar em nada".

Mas deu. E hoje o Brasil dá um exemplo pro mundo (e pra si mesmo).

Essa é pra todo mundo que chorou a perda de entes queridos enquanto esse verme imitava eles morrendo.
