The amazing spec-bio artist @alexriesart is launching an official artbook! I made two videos on his incredibly detailed Birrin project if you want a taste of what the book will entail: youtube.com/watch?v=jRgw1fY7… And the kickstarter is now live! kickstarter.com/projects/iro…

Silly that we have to do this, but there's a small audio flaw in our most recent video. We reached out to @TeamYouTube creator support with a fixed version to swap in, and they told us that the video is "not eligible for replacement" — then refused to tell us why

It's been months in the making, and I'm so excited to say it's finally here! For @varyerer, I wrote about the wild genre of speculative biology, cosmic loneliness, and the human urge to dream of life on other worlds. Thank you so much for reading varyer.com/article/life-on-o…

The Malayan Horned Frog with a seriously fast tongue. Frogs swallow with their eyeballs, which sink into their mouth and help push food down their throat.

If we ever discover aliens, will they look like life on earth, or something entirely different? New video out exploring what convergent evolution and physics can tell us about extraterrestrials... Link: youtu.be/50rYHeoDb5M
