Posted @withrepost • @biointeractive State and federal agencies that long banned indigenous practices like cultural burns are coming to terms with them as the wildfire crisis worsens. In this article and video, part of our Science News feature, see how indigenous practices including controlled burns are helping to restore ecosystem health in the U.S. West. https://bit.ly/FiresArticleBI . . .

Meet the Chemiballs; The Particularly Spooky Subatomic Particles!

Read this old blog post of mine where I, a biomajor, tried and failed miserably to understand quantum physics :3

#real #being a bio major is being pro-conservation pro-environmentalism #… and then accidentally pouring a highly toxic chemical down the sink bc you forgot the disposal instructions #in my defense… why tf don’t they write that shit on the board??? #like you expect me to just remember that??? #sir i have adhd #i can’t even remember the pin to my debit card & i use that shit every day #also in my defense it’s only happened once this semester… but i’ve carried the shame with me everyday since #personal

I love giant monster movies. I will watch almost any movie that has a giant monster in it - Pacific Rim is a treasure.

I got a lotta feelings about the Heisei series.

The year is 1984. It's been thirty years since Godzilla attacked Tokyo. To set the scene, the US and the CCCP are puffing their nuclear reserves at each other, Godzilla wrecks a submarine, presumably for food, and soon the superpowers are pointing fingers at each other. There's a summit in Tokyo to discuss with the world that there is a Godzilla going around wrecking submarines so please don't start shooting nuclear missiles. This sequence reflects the position of the nations of the world who aren't superpowers, caught in the middle while forces beyond their control threaten them, and I think speaks to the heart of the film. For the record, this sequence was mostly cut from the American version.

Godzilla's eventual entry to Tokyo bay wrecks a Soviet ship, triggering an automatic retaliatory nuclear launch, which the captain of the ship fails to stop (also for the record, the American version of the movie changes it around so the captain is trying to launch the missile, rather than stop an automatic launch, including an added scene of a camera technician's hand reaching for a flashing button).

Tokyo ends up as rubble, Godzilla ends up in a volcano. It's a somber movie, and very much a time capsule reflecting fears of nuclear war.

1989's Godzilla vs Biollante has a lot going on. There's genetic engineering, industrial espionage, political assassination, psychic powers, secret military weather control weapons, and also Godzilla.

Biollante herself is a hybrid between a rose and Godzilla, with the human soul of a scientist's daughter crammed in there, truly a beautiful and strange monster.

The setting is a world of turmoil. Politicians use science like a weapon and use weapons like a science - Godzilla's release from his volcanic prison is threatened (and ultimately achieved) by an act of terrorism. The movie opens in the ashes of Tokyo immediately after the events of '84, in which agents of mega-corporation Biomajor are scouring the ruins for Godzilla DNA samples, shooting the locals trying to pick up the pieces, only to have those agents taken out by an agent of another government/corporation from the middle-east country of 'Saradia'.

The realities of a world in which a bewildering array of forces can gain access to a nuclear weapon, or a bacterial weapon, or a Godzilla, are the central focus of the film.

It is suggested by the characters that Godzilla is drawn to Biollante, because they are made from the same cells, as is the Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria, the MacGuffin of the film. In a sense, the characters of the film are responsible for calling Godzilla to them.

And yet... the characters of the film are human. They go out for dinner at the Godzilla Memorial Lounge, they get caught in the rain at the beach, they try their best in the world they have been handed.

The film feels deliberately modern, deliberately conscious of the way actors with power affect the world, and where monsters such as Godzilla, and the other strange powers we might discover, fit. In this respect, Godzilla vs Biollante stands head and shoulders above its sequels.

Plus, being a product of the year 1989, it's very funny to swap around GvB and Seinfeld:

I don't want to dig too much at the other 'vs series' movies, but I don't think any of them come close to the level of thoughtfulness exhibited in '84 and GvB. The sequels play closer to the anime that was growing in popularity at the time.

In short -

Godzilla vs King Ghidorah - a fun time-travel romp with androids and a three-headed cyborg dragon, but gets bogged down in discussions of the future Japanese economy in ways that seem shortsighted in the face of the subsequent 'Lost Decade'.

The psychic girl from GvB, Miki Saegusa, appears in this film, as well as the rest of the sequels. Tragically, she mostly appears to tell us what Godzilla and the other monsters are feeling at the moment.

Godzilla vs Mothra - Divorced Dad Tomb Raider meets some fairies and learns a lesson about greed and the environment. Battra's kinda cool.

Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (1993) - They build a big robot version of Godzilla and have it fight Godzilla. Does it mean "Life vs Artificial Life" is a theme if a character says those words thirty seconds before credits roll? This is the one where 'Radiation' has fully morphed into 'DBZ energy' and you can willingly transmit it to other people to heal them or make them more powerful or w/e.

Godzilla vs Spacegodzilla - Some Godzilla cells fall into a black hole and make a monster that's like Godzilla but with big crystals, and the humans have to team up with Godzilla to fight Spacegodzilla. There's also a subplot about controlling Godzilla with Miki's psychic powers and the Yakuza kidnapping her and trying to auction off control of Godzilla. Clunky, but I find it very charming.

Godzilla vs Destroyer - Godzilla is dying, and he's gonna take the whole world with him. Completely coincidentally, at around the same time, a new monster emerges, evidently born from the Oxygen Destroyer, the weapon that killed the 1954 Godzilla. Also, there's a scientist who has invented Micro-Oxygen, which is like the Oxygen Destroyer, but his invention didn't make the new monster, it's just a plot convenience so this scientist can exposit about how the monster works.

There's a fun Aliens pastiche with lots of human-sized Destroyers running around, but the movie doesn't quite do it for me.

It calls back so heavily to the original 1954 Godzilla movie, including characters and descendants of characters, referencing iconic shots, but its treatment of the Oxygen Destroyer is thoughtless. The tragedy of the movie 'Godzilla' is that Dr. Serizawa has invented a weapon more terrible than Godzilla, but it is also the only thing that can defeat Godzilla, and his conclusion is that he can only use it if he can ensure that nobody will ever use it again, at the cost of his own life and the destruction of his own life's work.

In Godzilla vs Destroyer, the Oxygen Destroyer is the Evil DBZ energy to Godzilla's radiation Good DBZ energy. MEH.

What a relaxing way to start 2020. After graduating from college last month, I have felt completely lost and unsure about the path I want to take in life.

I've been applying to jobs, internships, and programs - which has been very stressful and frustrating. In the meantime, I'm taking this time to relax and enjoy the things that make me happy. I have such a strong passion for learning, so during this time I plan to read as much as possible to continue educating myself.

Also during this time I plan to make lots of yummy pour over coffee!!

Happy New Year's everyone!

Good night. I just killed my shoulders for the third time this week, passed a chemistry test that I was terrified I wouldn’t, turned in a paper thank God @patter_daughter proof read it, and did a super long and very difficult lab, and worked my jobs this weekend. Glad to close this week out. 😴😴 #gym #gymrat #shoulderworkout #tattoo #trans #transftm #ftm #transman #transguy #bio #biology #biomajor #stem #transinstem #hrt #armday #tatt #fitness #gains #nerd (at Tuscaloosa, Alabama) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2-nrGpjDAo/?igshid=sowqhxmdvhei

Woke up early to go thrifting this morning. I found a few pair of vintage jeans that fit me wonderfully.

Also, can we appreciate how cute this care bear mug is??

Arthropod Common Name: Deathstalker Arthropod Scientific Name:  Leirus quinquestriatus             Order:  Scorpiones  Phylum: Arthropoda Subphylum: Chelicerata Physical Features: segmented body with 4 legs on each side, modified front legs that form pinchers, have fangs (chelicera) all scorpions have 2 eyes on the top of the head and often 2 to 5 pairs of eyes on the front corners of their head.deathstalkers are primarily yellowish in color with brown spots. Size: 1.1 - 3 inches in length average size is around 2.2 inches. Maximum weight is 2.5 grams. Habitat: semi arid - arid desert and scrubland. Found throughout the Middle East and North Africa. They will use rocks and other animal burrows to hide in. The deathstalker will also build their own burrows about 20 cm below rock. Food: insects such as earthworms,and other scorpions cannibalism is common among this species. Predators: Other arthropods and scorpions. Lizards and birds will also eat the deathstalker Reproduction: a male will “court” a female by performing a dance, the male positions the female and the two scorpions reproduce. Deathstalkers lay between 35 and 87 eggs, after 122 to 227 days the eggs hatch. The specific parenting habits of the Deathstalker aren’t well known. However in similar species the young scorpions climb onto the female’s back and remain there for around a year. Interesting Facts: Average lifespan is 4 - 25 years. Deathstalkers are common as pets and commonly found in underground pet trades. The deathstalker’s venom is incredibly potent and can cause respiratory failure. Their venom has been researched for diabetes and cancer treatments. Deathstalkers act as a bioindicator species. They communicate using touch and can sense vibrations by using special sensory organs on the bottoms of their feet.   Sorry for the paragraph. I drew this and researched the deathstalker for a project in zoology. They're pretty interesting little things. #biology #biomajor #zoologystudent #art #illustration #artistsoninstagram #digitalart #wacom #medibangpaintpro #scorpions #scorpionsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv0Qd97BSth/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pwdh4iw7x7au

Update and Asks

Hello all!

It’s been so long since I’ve had a chance to post. I’m more or less still alive! College has been hectic, as you all know- or will find out soon, but I should be back now.

Update:

So I am no longer a biology/psychology dual major. As of last week, I am now a biology major with minors in public health and chemistry. So that’s fun. I have, at this point figured out every class I need to take and am working out a makeshift schedule for the rest of my Undergrad years. 

Since course registration is right around the corner (for me, it’s April 1st!), I am working on a post that will explain the process I went through to work out the schedule I mentioned above.

Reminder:

Please don’t be afraid to send in asks- whether it be about college or anything. My freshman year is coming to a close soon, so hopefully, I can answer whatever you guys throw at me!

Have a wonderful morning/afternoon/night, everyone! :)
