For all my crab enthusiasts out there: I need help ID’ing this species! It was found in Queensland, Australia in an estuarine wetland hiding in the sand.

protonification request: the script to “Steamed Hams”

sure thing!

protein guy analysis:

this one is all over the place, with some beta strands, lots of helices and so many disordered loops between it all. it looks like a bit of a mess, but in the same sort of way that most of these large structures look like a mess. so that leaves us with this: a bit of an abstract and confusing structure that probably doesn’t quite hold up to real world physics or chemistry, but is doing its best nonetheless

One time I came home from uni very upset and my younger siblings asked what's wrong. I said that mutated flies in our lab escaped because someone broke their jar. I didn't even realise how scary it sounded to them until I saw their faces lmao. I was upset because we were short on said flies (they don't reproduce very well) and my siblings thought that some crazy radioactive fly monsters escaped and we are all fucked now. Love being a mad scientist in their eyes lowkey

This may sound stupid but. How do you even begin to look for new tiny frogs???

People do not give us (Brasil) enough credit for:

Our fucked up dolphins

Our fucked up porcupines

Our fucked up snakes
