Excited to share that our cuttlefish brain atlas is now out in Current Biology! Check out our website Cuttlebase.org and play around with the brain of this crazy camouflaging cephalopod. It was an amazing team effort 🐙✨ authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…

how do Spanish speakers know when to put a question mark at the beginning of a sentence? how do they know the sentence is gonna end in a question?

It should have been called "assuming the conclusion" from the beginning and we could have avoided this whole mess

Interesting to see conservatives vehemently denying what I have seen many times with my own eyes growing up - rural whites killing and eating wild geese without a license. Seems conservative culture has been fully captured by suburban anxieties at this point

I showed a cuttlefish his own reflection today using a mirror. After staring at himself for 16 mins, he ejaculated. I scooped up the cluster of spermatophores, and genotyped him. I love my job(?) 👩🏻‍🔬
