So funny I see this tweet rn bc I was just thinking of this queen today. Dr. Wong-Staal was irreplaceable in the fight against AIDS, and as a training virologist I dream of one day accomplishing even a fraction of what she has. In case you don’t know about her, here’s some info:

4/26 BR stands w/gorgeous mantle. After quick whisper from keys to move over, BR obliges Viewers and begins first morning feeding of N1. Great morning feeding views plus view of Pip in second Egg. And you may say "Awwww" all you like this morning watching the feeding.

The baby owl has been renested just under the original site. Both parents (very angry at our presence) are in attendance. Many thanks to local volunteers who helped me get this little owl back home, they are amazing!

Hey friends. I’m okay but a little shaken up. This morning, my car started spinning in circles before coming to an abrupt stop in the middle of the road. When I got out to see what happened, I found this.
HOW COOL IS THIS? For the FIRST time in ONE BILLION years, two lifeforms have truly merged into one organism. In a new study, researchers report that a nitrogen-fixing organelle has been identified in a marine alga. Meet the Nitroplast! Let’s talk about that! 🧵⬇️
Everytime i face a People Are Awful to Wildlife Scenario, I remember the dude who lied to his friends about keeping a bobcat kitten so they’d give it to him then secretly took it to a rehab bc he knew they shouldn’t keep it. & then it was a domestic kitten so he got a new cat
Animal “lovers” are either begging for a perfectly healthy, well cared for owl in a well kept zoo to be freed only to die horribly in its non habitat or begging for a sick, deformed alligator to be returned to its ill equipped owner and his private home
Still relevant.

Between the Wyoming wolf torturing and the North Carolina bear cub harassing, this has been a very tough week for those of us who try to keep people from hurting wildlife.

I don’t know how else to say to leave wildlife alone at this point. You are not special. You are not Snow White. You are endangering yourself and the animals when you do this.

@ThatsBoSheep it requires zero effort to be nice and accepting. sorry you're going through that, but you're being a positive influence for your kids.
I just wish we could move. Never wanted to make it a big deal in my town, I was fine playing pretend to avoid this. I feel so guilty but also frustrated. My kids are good kids, they don't deserve this.
PETA, you were doing so well for once. Extant birds are not descendants of T-Rex. They do however have a common ancestor

@theashleyray My brother and we're still getting (albeit very small) checks for a class action asbestos case a good decade + after the initial large settlement. You bet I sign up for them! That first Facebook biometric payout was like $400
to the company that sold me contacts that blinded a woman, you deserve this 🙏🏽
i want you to know that you should sign up for every class action settlement you ever get an email about because why did i just get one that was over $1k when i thought it would be like $1
This is a disturbing post, for many reasons, I will start with taking a photo and sharing (presumably) without permission. We do not know the person’s struggles with health - absolutely no idea. They may have lost 4 stone here and feeling more positive. I am pretty sure this…
any person who looks like this has no business giving anyone health advice or medical care of any kind...
@Douglovesbeef Yapping on social media about a woman that's dedicated her life to helping others isn't the flex you think it is...
@Douglovesbeef It's quite typical in “caring professions” to care after everyone else and not themselves But we don't know their story and possible co-morbidities Plus, it's super unkind to take a pic of someone to post it online
@Douglovesbeef I think people shouldn’t take pictures like this and put random people on blast honestly. 🤷♂️
@Douglovesbeef First, you never know what she is going through so really shame on you. Nurses are the last people to take care of themselves because we are busy taking care of every one else. I’ve been fat and made a choice to deal with life and become healthy. It’s not that easy sometimes
@DrEvans_Health People shouldn’t take photos of others and post it on social media - it needs to stop ! No one knows what is going on in other peoples and shouldn’t judge xx
@DrEvans_Health Disturbing is a good word. ‘Cruel’ works, too. Finally, I would suggest ‘wrong.’ I work alongside people who have various sorts of health challenges, and they are dedicated and provide good care.
@MeganMo2002 Exactly! It is none of anyone’s business. I hope they never see this, if they do I hope they see support around how wrong this was.
@DrEvans_Health That post is disturbing. Nursing is one of the most stressful jobs out there. She may not have time for herself. She may have a condition that causes weight gain. We don’t know her story, and it’s none of our business.
@IA7755 100% night shifts! I don’t know how they do it. The caring profession, are so focused on others they can neglect themselves.
@DrEvans_Health Nurses often have a terrible time with their weight, my MIL and SIL both do, as a nurse time for healthy food is scarce, night shifts damage circadian rhythm, stress is high and exercise due to fatigue is low. Nurses care for our health but in doing so damage their own.
