Puffin beaks are fluorescent and we had no idea

Scientists have even made special sunglasses for puffins so they can check out the phenomenon in the wild

A scientist in England has made an enlightening discovery about Atlantic puffins — under a UV light, their bills glow like a freshly cracked glow stick.

“It was sort of discovered by accident,” said Jamie Dunning, the ornithologist who first saw the beaks light up.

I can’t tell what is my favorite part of this article, birds see colors humans can’t comprehend, glowing puffin beaks was discover accidentally, or that puffins look really good with aviator glasses.

My favorite is definitely the quote: So he’s had sunglasses made. For the puffins. “This felt like the obvious thing to do,” he said.

When you hit a certain academic level, autocorrect does more harm than good.

I know you don’t think that word exists, but I promise you it does.

Walk in on parents having a heated debate.

Am worried for a bit. Are they fighting?

Realize parents are having a heated debate on whether or not goats can climb trees.

Immediately side with mom, because I know goats can fuckin climb fucking ANYTHING because I remember the “crave that mineral” meme with the goat on the vertical cliff face apparently levitating to achieve the mineral it craves.

who fuckin says the internet never taught me anything

Dad has to leave to go back to work. Leaves convinced that no, goats can’t climb trees, they’re goats, they stay on the ground.

Once he’s gone, youtube search “Moroccan Tree Goats.” Find self-explanatory video of several goat up in a fuckin tree like some Dr. Seuss shit.

Mom looks at me like it’s the proudest she’s ever been of me in her life, including my university graduation

She emails it to him. At work. My dad will get a video of Moroccan goats screaming in a tree at his place of business, with the subject line “I TOLD YOU SO.”

Mom triumphantly yells to the empty house, “THIS IS WHY PEOPLE IN THE BIBLE THOUGHT GOATS WERE THE DEVIL.”

Another ordinary day in my house.

‘This is why people in the Bible thought goats were the devil’ is a really solid explanation when you see how goats defy the laws of physics.

Do you guys know of any women in the past who had a big impact on the development of veterinary medicine?

My friend just asked me about this, cause apparently it’s like a fun-fact question on one of the exams, and I have no clue..

Which is ridiculous, because honestly in 2 minutes I found like 5 men, but no women??

[the-dream-is-over-this-is-mornin]

I can offer you this amazing woman; Aleen Cust, who was the first female vet recognised by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. She was Irish, born in Tipperary in 1868. Studied in Scotland, but was barred from taking her final exams, despite being awarded a gold medal in Zoology. Worked in Ireland I’m Roscommon and Galway. Served in WW1 treating horses in the front lines. She waited 22 years for her degree to be recognised. The RCVS give a scholarship in her name and there is a plaque in her honour in Castlestrange House, Athleague, Co. Roscommon, Ireland. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleen_Cust

that’s one badass lady! thank you!

[vetmedirl]

Dear Vet Students, I’ve never had a client ask me about my grades or GPA. I’ve had clients thank me profusely for checking with expert veterinarians and researchers to get advice about their animal’s case. I’m most often thanked for being kind and gentle with their animal, large or small. Clients will assume you’re smart and capable. You got accepted to a challenging professional program and made it through. That’s enough for them. Work on your technical skills, yes, but above all… Try your best. Seek advice when necessary. Be kind. Enjoy the work. Pass your classes and don’t look back. Sincerely, Vet Med In Real Life

ok this keeps coming on my dash and every time the notes are filled with people being like WHAT IS THIS so i am HERE TO ENLIGHTEN YOU, FRIENDS

this is from the musical Firebringer which is free to watch on Youtube. it’s by Team StarKid of A Very Potter Musical fame (think you recognize the girl singing? that’s Lauren Lopez, also known as the funniest Draco Malfoy the world has ever seen)

anyway, Firebringer is a female-driven, hilarious musical about bisexual cavewomen and you are going to want to watch it. trust me.

WATCH FIREBRINGER!
