My roommate brought me a london fog between my exams today which was so sweet that I didn't have the heart to tell her that I already had one this morning. Now I'm doubly caffeinated for my second midterm this afternoon.

i stand by the fact that majoring in biology is very dark academia of me, because what's more dark academic than uncovering the mysteries of life?

MAGNUS ARCHIVES BIOLOGY ACADEMIA
requested by @adozenforks :)
- just from reading something’s scientific name, you can picture it perfectly in your mind. this is odd, as you’ve never taken any Latin before
- your DNA model twists and turns on for eternity, an endless helix of nucleotides that you can’t look away from
- you’ve computed the Punnett squares. you Knew Graham’s parents, knew their blue eyes, and it just doesn’t Make Sense that Graham’s eyes are a deep, dark brown
- you cut into the oleander leaf hoping to examine the cellular structure with transmission electron microscopy. as soon as the scalpel gets past the skin, red beads of a viscous fluid drops from the plant. if you didn’t know any better, you’d say it looked like blood
- they brought in fetal pigs to dissect during class. opening your pig, the organs are smeared with … clown makeup?
- you copy the diagrams directly from your textbook, though you think it might be an outdated copy, or maybe a misprint with incorrect proportions. you don’t remember the tibia being that Long, when you look down to check your leg it seems to match the diagram exactly. by the end of the semester, you are a perfect, textbook specimen. your Professor asks you to stay after class for some, ah, extra lab experience

A rising lake and its neighbors’ footprints
Summer has brought heavy rains, and the water is rising. Local animals are well adapted to this seasonal flooding and are as plentiful as ever. I only wish something could be done about the Salvinia on the water’s surface. It is beautiful, but it is invasive and horrible for the ecosystem. Light cannot penetrate its leaves to reach the hidden plants and critters below, and the water is not properly oxygenated when it is covered by a dense mat of vegetation.

Also I've been using R studio a lot recently and I've reached a point where I really love coding and would consider a job in it when I graduate 🤗👩‍🎓

and when i say "specimens" i don't mean taxidermied mounts made to look lifelike for exhibit, i'm talking about the thousands to millions of specimens lying in drawers and shelves like this:

Stinkpot Turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) caught and released for a turtle study in a local bayou
Edit: For those curious, this species does have a unique smell. I wouldn’t say it’s awful, but it is strong. In my opinion, it smells like the overpriced soap you can find in any Earthbound Trading Co. It’s a musky/earthy smell.
Another notable thing about this species is its attitude. Stinkpots are very feisty when handled. Most turtles fight being handled, but Stinkpots are known for putting up an unexpectedly big fight for such teeny turtles. This attitude is one of my favorite things about them.

Spent a few days at sea on a research cruise recently. I was working long stretches at very odd hours and it was pretty exhausting but it was also a wonderful experience. I miss getting rocked to sleep by the boat

i find it so unfair that i cant do all the science. like what do you MEAN I can't study bio and chem and biochem and atrophysics and physics and geology and climate science. what do you MEAN i have a limited lifespan and need to get out of school at some point to get a job. i want to collect the science fields like pokemon, this isn't fair
