Er bestaan veel #bullshitjobs maar 'innovatie in de sport' moet toch wel in de top 10 staan.

Na maanden geldverslindend onderzoek (inclusief robot met 100% score!) hebben wetenschappers nieuwe #dartpijltjes bedacht.

Hoera.

Als ze echt werken, gebruiken straks alle #darters deze pijltjes en verandert er dus helemaal niets aan het klassement.
Enige verschil is dat dartpijltjes duurder worden omdat je geen kans hebt zonder, en één of ander bedrijf stinkend rijk wordt nadat ze het patent kopen.

NU | Darters staan nog niet te springen voor 'de klapschaats onder de pijlen'

#darters (or #anhingas, or #snakebirds) are tropical #waterbirds

Dragonflies - Part 2/2

I photographed these in my local area. I'm not brilliant at identifying dragonflies, but here are my best guesses based on the British Dragonfly Society's excellent website. These pictures are probably:
* Male Scarce Chaser
* Female Black-tailed Skimmer
* Male Red-veined Darter
* Male Golden-ringed Dragonfly

An overdue #Introduction

Hi 👋 I'm Iain. I'm interested broadly in #Evolution and #Ecology. Currently as part of my Doctoral studies at Lund University 🇸🇪 I am applying concepts from #EvolutionaryBiology 🌳 to #Ecotoxicology 🏞️

I'm also working on #SexualSelection in #Plants 🌻 and what selective forces shape the patterns of #Darters 🐟 with some cool people in Montpellier 🇫🇷

I do other normal things too 😊

Not being the product on Mastodon is super nice. Support your instance if you can ❤️🐘
