My dog is on antibiotics for a UTI. She doesn’t like the chewable pills unless I coat them in peanut butter. She now believes that she is entitled to twice-daily peanut butter treats.
She has two days of antibiotics left before reality sets in.

Dog skull shape challenges assumptions of performance specialization from selective breeding
Dog skull shape shows that human breeding effort has driven obvious shape changes but with no associated performance differences.

A chert shard, showing perfect cross-sections of forams. Tiny spirals, nature's hidden order.
A possible abortive point, maybe kept for its beauty?

For #FossilFriday check out this gorgeous fossil insect! This 49 million year old beauty is Pulchritudo attenboroughi, a #beetle found in the rocks of the Green River Formation, Colorado. what's particularly striking about this fossil is the pattern on its wing cases.

Every year around now, I start to see grad students on social media bemoan that they’re going home for the holidays to a family that doesn’t understand their research, or what they do in general, and it breaks my heart. 🧵 🧪 #SciComm
