Ryan! We just checked the first issue out and sang the song at the same time. But alas, there’s a typo at the end of the song (no more “where there’s a city crime-torn”).
In the immortal words of Galactus, “the fate of your world now rests in your hands!”
*Also, super exciting news!!!

Look at that poo fly!

Today marked a new era for the lab!
We're beginning our butterfly phase, rearing our own Squinting Bush Brown butterflies! Look at those adorable eggies!!!

So excited to have @matthewcobb.bsky.social join our Hacking Inheritance class today to discuss gene-editing, including the science, the history, and the ethics!
Highly recommend this book for all those interested in diving into this topic!

Yesterday at the #NYCC Marvel X-Men panel, a science graduate student asked about where they get their accurate scientific information for writing the comics.
@jedmackay.bsky.social immediately said, I ask Marvel’s residence science expert… @ryannorth.ca
I have to agree!

Had the best time doing a #NYCC panel with @cosplayforscience.bsky.social on Pokémon Ecology Academy: Ancient Life! Got to talk about Yanmega, insect respiration, and how insects used to be much bigger in the Carboniferous!

Another fun panel with @cosplayforscience.bsky.social at #FanX! Got to talk about how heroes and villains can communicate with animals and the various ways insects use to communicate!
And had such a fun time cosplaying as Ant-Man!
Thanks @lisalundgren.bsky.social for organizing!

Enjoyed this little factoid about non-reflective moth eyes and improved solar panel technology from Naturally Curious this morning with the family. I never knew about this!
Did you know about this cool overlap between our worlds @billmckibben.bsky.social?

TONIGHT at 9:30, I see if I can livestream the joys of blacklighting for @sciantsmedia.com in celebration of #NationalMothWeek. Can I do it from rural Vermont and my WiFi extender moved to the back window??? Only time will tell!
