"The fundamental unit of biology is therefore not the "self," but the network. A maple tree is a plurality, its individuality a temporary manifestation of relationship."

Today is the last day to see my January photography exhibit on display in the @cityofnovi Civic Center! Thank you so much, Novi, for letting me share my love of nature with everybody who steps through the Civic Center doors. Hope to continue sharing in the future.
#SwampMilkweed pods are opening up and releasing seeds around the pond in our backyard. What started with just a few seeds three years ago has now multiplied into hundreds, spreading beautifully. #PureMichigan
#Manoomin (wild rice) once thrived along the Detroit River but nearly vanished due to settlement and pollution. The Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi is working to restore it at places like Belle Isle & Humbug Marsh. #Conservation #DetroitRiver

#CIGLR & friends had a great time @ the 2024 @RougeFriends Spring Bug Hunt! Volunteers visited watershed headwater sites searching for mayflies, stoneflies & other aquatic inverts. Presence/absence of these creatures reflects water & habitat quality. Pics: flickr.com/photos/ciglr_um/a…

Shankar Vedantam @HiddenBrain just posted one of the best interviews anyone has ever done with me. He and his team researched deeply and edited skillfully to link my personal and intellectual journeys. They made me sound wiser than I am.

"My claim is that the new phone-based childhood that took shape roughly 12 years ago is making young people sick and blocking their progress to flourishing in adulthood. We need a dramatic cultural correction, and we need it now." theatlantic.com/technology/a…

You've heard of Martha, the last Passenger Pigeon, who died in the Cincinnati Zoo in 1914. But this article from The Auk in 1906 describes the history of the final flocks that dwindled in captivity until only Martha was left

Illinois has officially passed the first U.S. law aimed at protecting child influencers
The law will “entitle influencers under the age of 16 to a percentage of earnings based on how often they appear on video blogs or online content.”
The money must be held in a trust which the child can access when they turn 18 teenvogue.com/story/illinois…

TIL there is a giant Trumpeter Swan statue in #ElkRapids Michigan. It used to be a mute swan but was repainted in 2014 as a #TrumpeterSwan. A @PureMichigan moment!
