Our fourth annual #RaidsforResearch stream event benefitting @fredhutch.org was a huge success! We raised over $33k and had 20 incredible Twitch creators stream for a whole week, celebrating World Cancer Research day! From a 48-hour raid train to 5 researchers jumping on streams, it was amazing 💜👩‍🔬🔬

The only land animal that has red bioluminescence? It is an underground worm! Most colors we see are greens/yellows on land, but one insect shows us the beauty of red! Check out the short for all the info!

Ten feet tall, armed with massive jaws, and known only from thousands of teeth—Gigantopithecus blacki was the largest ape to ever walk the Earth.
