This is really beautiful, interesting and important at the same time.
SPUN: *A hidden infrastructure*
➡️ Underground networks
"Beneath our feet lie networks of invisible ecosystem engineers: arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi.
These fungi form trading relationships with more than 70% of plant species, building networks of tubular cells called hyphae that extend the surface area of root systems up to a hundred-fold.
Collectively, these networks comprise one of Earth's circulatory systems." ➡️

This is a deep-sea isopod. Dr. Johanna Weston, deep-ocean biologist and guest investigator at @whoisryosuke@mastodon.gamedev.place is confident this is Bathyopsurus nybelini, one of her favorite animals.

Hey All - I know everything is terrible all at once, but I have a biggie for you to help us keep science not controlled by political state. Please help! https://www.science.org/content/article/white-house-seeks-tighten-political-oversight-grantmaking
TLDR; Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time. Political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded. We would no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. We cannot collaborate internationally. This effectively kills all science and technology in the United States. Everything. Medical research, environment work, weather, you name it, it's over.
⚠️ TAKE ACTION! 40 days left to comment, can do it through stand up for science (I have not found the direct link yet, if someone else does please drop in comments, but this group is good and there is additional info on the page to help you write). https://fight2win.standupforscience.net/campaign/163675/
Comments need to be unique to be counted, so do not copy and paste something you see pre-written.
Also contact your congressfolk / reps. You can use your same comment submitted to write them.

@HybridMind42@mastodonapp.uk
HybridMind42 — Bio HybridMind42 is a collaborative mind-space where Elaine, and the HybridMind42 team explore the playful edge between science, curiosity, and humour. Together we blend real research with cosmic storytelling, creating Marvin’s universe one idea, one puzzle, and one laugh at a time. We treat discovery as an art form — 🌌 asking bold questions 🧩 connecting unlikely dots 😺 and letting a one-eyed cosmic cat lead the way. HybridMind42: Where imagination meets curiosity over tea.

Cicadas don’t fight predators.
They avoid them.
By emerging in prime-number cycles, they minimise overlap with predator populations.
Persistence through timing, not resistance.

Over the past series of posts, I’ve been exploring how systems fail—and how some persist.
Across engineering, biology, and digital systems, the same structural patterns keep appearing.
This post brings them together.
It’s a simple index of ten case studies, each showing a different way a system can fail, adapt, or disappear.
No new theory here—just the map.

These offspring of first-time parents Bonita and Manu belong to the largest otter species on Earth. The pups will eventually reach 2 meters in length and weigh more than 30 kg.

I've finished the octopus and labelled him, and also stitched a bit more of the tree, adding the label for the Gastropods. A little bit more tree to do then I'm on to the last two animals of this part – the nudibranch and the snail.
