Things are bad but at least we have new footage of vampire bats running on treadmills.
New paper out! 🚨 We show that vampire bats use amino acids from a recent blood meal to fuel RUNNING - a rare mode of locomotion in bats ideal for stalking prey. I’d worry less about your neck and more about your ankles! 🧛🏻♂️ @WelchLab_UTSC @RSocPublishing

A new study from @stri_panama shows that red-eyed treefrog embryos hatch early when exposed to high ammonia levels — an environmental cue that it’s too hot and dry for the eggs to survive bit.ly/4bJ4DX1

Mangrove forests aren’t only coastal buffers, nurseries for marine life, and vital food sources for coastal communities.
They’re also one of earth’s most efficient carbon sinks, storing up to 4x more carbon per acre than terrestrial forests. @stri_panama pew.org/4auXtoY

Apparently the most shared @NPR podcast on Spotify last year WAS IN SPANISH. If your newsroom hasn’t gotten the memo about how important Spanish is, here is that memo again. – at Boise, ID

As of today, @pressfreedom reports that at least 36 journalists and media workers have been killed since Oct. 7. The majority of them were reporting on the ground from Gaza. Threats to press freedom anywhere are threats to press freedom everywhere.

Another Palestinian journalist in Gaza killed by Israel, Mohammed Abu Hattab and 11 members of his family were killed in Khan Younis, SOUTH of Gaza, where residents were told to flee too. This is his death being announced on TV. You don't need to understand Arabic, just watch.

🧵Last yr, 250,000 ppl crossed the Darién jungle in a desperate attempt to make it to the US. This year, that number has already reached 360k. @federicorios and I have returned again & again to the jungle, trying to understand this flow. Some anecdotes from our latest reporting.

language changes across space and time & so does it’s impact. the insistence of ppl to ask for hard evidence of [insert harm] when ppl express it in informally should warrant the question - what actually NEEDS to be a paper? and why do we have to wait to be reactive to move? 1/n

DEI spells DIE within corporate media. All my people are expendable here. Our culture is only valuable when it can be thoroughly commodified. If covering the most-consumed genre on the planet is not financially viable at this institution, public media ain’t truly for the public.
