Every two years, Brussels transforms its iconic Grand-Place into a spectacular Flower Carpet. First blooming in 1971 and captivating visitors regularly since 1986, this colorful tapestry is created from thousands of fresh flowers, showcasing intricate patterns and designs. A dazzling floral tradition that’s as ephemeral as it is unforgettable! 🌸🌺🌼

Aerial and close-up views of the iconic Flower Carpet event at the Grand-Place in Brussels, Belgium. The images show a vibrant and intricate carpet made from thousands of fresh flowers laid out in detailed geometric and floral patterns. Crowds of people surround the artwork, admiring its vibrant colors and symmetrical design from different angles. The Flower Carpet covers a significant portion of the historic square, with majestic architecture and red-roofed buildings framing the colorful display, highlighting the grand scale and beauty of this biennial floral tradition.

I found this posted on the wall at the university where I teach. I love when students have a weird sense of humor like this.

A poster that says "have you seen this horse?" and has a picture of a kid standing next to a horse inside a house. There are tear-off tabs at the bottom that say "I have now," and all but the last one are torn off.

Oh hey, do you think we should try to cure Parkinson's disease or at least understand it?

Well the NIH just fired a guy whose work explained why certain chemicals and mutations cause Parkinson's disease.

If firing scientists trying to understand and cure diseases isn't what you think the federal government should be doing with your tax dollars, you should consider attending a hands-off event this Saturday, or calling your rep/senator.

Cartoon (mostly text, each exclamation accompanied by a small illustration of a lab-coated person): Some people think scientists exclaim "Eureka" (person holds out a tube or flask streaming vapour) when doing experiments. But they're way more likely to say ... "Bollocks" (observer watches as smoke rises from an indistinct object) "Oh shit" (person holds clipboard) "F*ck" (person making microscope observations) "Arse!" (person observes something burning) "Stupid piece-of-crap machine!" (person scowls at non-specific grey machine, with cartoon vibration lines emanating) "I hate science!" (person facedown on their arm)

On Trans Day of Visibility, like every other day of the year, I continue to accept, respect and support trans people.

I don't understand being trans, but - good news! - I don't have to.

I know who I am better than anyone else does, and I have always found other people know who they are too. Simple.

I love the fact that the image is a) of an Orange amplifier and b) has a University of Hull crest photoshopped onto it.

Anyway, postgrad study opportunities in amplification & human cultures here.

Today in American science is fucked news:

A couple of blues or whatever they call toots on Bilesky. Michael Wong @miquai.bsky.social 6h I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I'm editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity. Michael Wong @miquai.bsky.social. 6h When researchers cannot engage in legitimate scientific discourse out of fear that the government will strip away their livelihoods, we no longer live in a society that values freedom, truth, or progress.

Dear community,
my friend is thinking about joining Mastodon and/or the fediverse. Specifically, she is looking for the #spanish speaking #archeology community!
As we all know it is notoriously difficult to find a server that matches our preferences (language, region, interests, moderation policies...)
Aggregators like www.joinmastodon.org or #fedigarden rely on server #admins to register their instances (*cough I would not have found fedihum there)
edit: thank you! You helped a lot!

Went out to dinner by myself. This is a big step for me, I don't have anyone here to go out with, and I get uncomfortable and anxious on my own in public

I filed adoption papers for a cat. I don't know if I will get him, but I am in love

Took the day off and did a lot of cleaning
