A California bakery spent a month making a 6-foot recreation of Han Solo frozen in carbonite, made entirely of bread. The mother-and-daughter duo behind the creation called him "Pan Solo." nyti.ms/3VsE69A

Benjamin Button lizards? Not quite. #NSFfunded researchers @ohiou & others found that some lizards are born "old" due to climate-related stress on previous generations. Changes could help measure if conservation efforts are working. wapo.st/3zZB8PX

How cool! I got to make a #ScientistSelfie for @NSF. You can learn a little about my research and the #SixLeggedScience exhibit we opened at @PRInstitution with specimens from @InsectsCornell and support from the National Science Foundation youtu.be/2QoSg7mUZCc

STEM learning happens here!
Fleas, turtle ants, cockroaches – insects are Earth's unsung heroes.
Thousands of curious folks have already learned why at an interactive "Six-Legged Science" exhibit from

#WeDontTalkAboutBruno, but we should!
“Understanding how past changes in climate drove interactions between organisms is critical to predicting how current changes will create new admixtures, increase disease transmission, or impact natural resources or society." ⬇️
This is a 100,000-year-old polar bear skull named Bruno. Scientists at UC Santa Cruz analyzed DNA from Bruno's skull and found out some surprising news for brown bears today - they all have some polar bear ancestry. go.ucsc.edu/3ObZjAF

The male orchid bee is a master perfumer – beating his wings to disperse fragrance to attract a mate. #NSFfunded research by @ucdavis reveals much about successful procreation and how perfumes can result in new species. bit.ly/3G1XYZZ

ALT Researchers at the University of California, Davis, found that orchid bees, like this male, are easier to tell apart by the chemical differences of their perfumes than by their physical appearance.

We're thrilled to be a part of this first-of-its-kind collaboration between a private foundation and the @NSF for conservation. If we want to better protect ecosystems and preserve biodiversity, we must pursue advances in knowledge, scientific research, and data collection.

Pangolins are unique, scaled mammals found across Asia and in parts of Africa. #NSFfunded researchers are using pangolin fossils to better understand the evolution and biogeography of ancient pangolins during the #Pleistocene. More at bit.ly/3BwIlY6.

From the #Antarctic, to the #alpine, to the #urban, LTER sites cover a huge range. Read a nice writeup covering @PalmerLTER @LterNiwot & @MSP_LTER from @NSF #NSFfunded below!

#NSFfunded researchers have found that evolution is more complicated than previously thought. 🌺 Research on plants has found that sometimes the most biologically important sections of DNA are protected from mutation. Want to know more: bit.ly/36hvnC5 📷: Charles Fenster

Stop to smell the flowers & you know that their smell is one way they attract pollinators.
#NSFfunded scientists @UMNresearch have discovered that certain flowers make a blood-red pigment to attract geckos– which then spread their pollen. bit.ly/3gcd2YO 📹 Clay Carter
