Officials are cutting back how many lake trout are released annually into Lake Champlain after finding, for the first time in decades, sustained successful reproduction in the species. vtdigger.org/2023/05/14/as-l…

As lake trout breed successfully, officials scale back fish stocks in Lake Champlain - VTDigger

In response to rising wild reproduction, officials plan to stock about 42,000 lake trout this fall, down 50% from previous years.

When presenting research at a @RMGeoBio conference in Colorado…best to design your poster color scheme after one of your favorite New Mexico beers (@ExNovoBrew) (See bottom left corner of poster. Shoutout to @geomicrobe for supporting creativity and good beer).

Not one to brag, but this is pretty momentous. By dropping this one tube to the ground, I’ve officially started setting aside samples that Mars Sample Return could bring back to Earth someday. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3WzZ5qF
Photo from NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover shows a small, white sample tube lying on the sandy surface of Mars. About the size of a marker, the tube sits in the shadow of the rover that released it. Part of the rover’s left rear wheel is visible at top right, along with tracks it has made on the dusty ground.

This is a trilobite eye. Every facet—or little nub—of the eye is a single crystal of calcite. But if trilobites' eyes were pure calcite they'd see the world in duplicates. Ever inventive, evolution found a way ... 1/x

Wild game birds and wild songbirds are both important to the ecosystems hunters and anglers rely on. The recently released 2022 State of the Birds Report shows steep losses in virtually all habitats but provides an insight as to what policies can provide a solution. (1/8)
