Think of space-time as a giant fabric. Gravity waves are ripples in that fabric caused by violent, high-energy events billions of light-years away. We're talking about colliding black holes, merging neutron stars, or massive exploding stars warping space itself.

Alligator teeth aren't especially sharp: they're optimized for high-force BITING, not chewing. There's no serrated edge for cutting/severing. So to get bite-sized pieces from larger prey, they use their 'death roll' behavior to pull off chunks small enough to swallow. Nature's blender goes brrr!🐊

Sassafras just turned 12, and celebrates with a mealworm snack. Eastern Screech Owls in captivity typically live to 20, with Wesley the Screech Owl at the Cornell Raptor program reaching 26. Many more, little buddy! 🦉🎂

Here's what that looks like in motion. Green indicates the original trajectory. The profound finding here is that 'self-propelled, wave-like biological locomotion can be understood through the physical wave-equation frameworks', which has implications for robotic locomotion design.

This is a video of a ribbon eel (Rhinomuraena quaesita) captured by Tjeerd Schone in waters near Padangbai, Bali in 2025. Every ribbon eel is born male, with jet black skin & transitions first to this colorful male, then to female - only when they've reached their max size. Let's talk about it.

The Long-wattled Umbrellabird (Cephalopterus penduliger) are the weirdest birds, from pompadour/mohawk to long fleshy neck-tie shaped wattle that converts to a feather duster on command. Native to the Pacific coasts of Ecuador & Colombia, these extraordinary accessories are mostly found in males.

'Allo' from Greek for "other." The other 'mothers' can be female siblings, aunts, or even unrelated females. They protect & tend to the baby, comfort it, teach it life skills, even nurse it in some cases. And baby elephant calves seem to be constantly in peril.

This is Karl the Fly River turtle (Carettochelys insculpta) at the San Antonio Zoo, enjoying his bubbler. Fly River turtles are also known as pig-nosed turtles, or 'Warrajan' in the Kundjeyhmi language of Northern Australia, where they are native. Let's talk about what makes Karl's species unique.

This definitely forbidden gummy is in fact a moth larva of genus Olona (possibly Olona zolotuhini). It's *normal* to want to know what flavor it is, but the answer, unfortunately is "pain". Most species in this family are covered in tiny stinging spines connected to poison glands. (📷: Janice Ang)

You're looking at an "Upside Down Jellyfish" (genus Cassiopea) & I think you can guess how they got their name. This is them most of the time: Not only tentacles up, but on the sea floor. But that's not the interesting thing. The interesting thing is they have no brain, but still can sleep.

Many constituents write to me to say how shocked they are that international law often fails to hold those accountable for their actions. We have a duty to bolster international law, not undermine it. Today I asked for an update on the UK's response to the ICJ advisory opinion.

10 million marching Americans is only important if the media covers it.

The courage of the Iranian people is humbling. The brutal response by the security forces is unacceptable and exposes a regime afraid of its own people. The EU already has sweeping sanctions in place on Iran. We are now discussing putting additional sanctions.

There are hundreds of Australian troops in the US military right now. I asked what their role in the war on Iran is. Defence said: "our people have a very clear understanding of that remit that limits a number of them to defensive roles only". How does that work when you are on a US sub?
