Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

How much wood can a woodpecker peck when a woodpecker pecks wood? The answer: quite a lot! Woodpeckers are able to peck a single spot up to 20 times per second. What's more, each peck has a g-force of about 1,200-1,400 g; the equivalent of going from 26,000 mph (41,800 kph) to a complete stop in a single second.

(An acorn woodpecker (Melanerpes formicivorus) by Gavin Emmons; you can read more about acorn woodpeckers here!)

If you like what I do, consider leaving a tip or buying me a ko-fi!

昨年5月から受講していた北海道大学 CoSTEP 科学技術コミュニケーター養成プログラムの修了式で、札幌に行ってきました（なんとコースの最優秀賞を頂きました）。海外でも活躍されているサイエンスイラストレーターの先生方から直接インフォグラフィックの添削をして頂いた秋の集中演習は、プロの凄みをこれでもかと体感した本当に刺激的な学びでしたし、全国各地でサイエンスコミュニケーションを志す年齢も背景もさまざまの方々と夜遅くまで議論に花を咲かせたことは、仲間とのつながりという得難い財産とともに、とても勇気づけられ励みを頂く経験になりました。先生方はじめみなさまには大変お世話になりました。せっかく札幌に来たので、修了式翌日は北海道大学で野鳥の研究をしている同期の方にご案内頂く、北大構内のバードウォッチングツアーを有志で企画。北海道らしい鳥たちとともに（写真はアカゲラ Dendrocopos major）、エゾリスやミノムシの観察でも盛り上がるエクスカーションになりました。
