Blog Intro

Hello and welcome to @the-bio-babe! This is one of my side blogs, specifically my biology and science related blog

On here you’ll find:

  • Mainly biology and cellular biology related content
  • General science content I find interesting
  • Random musings on biology and science in general

(Anything original is tagged under #biobabe)

i can't get over how evil it is that "gap in your resume" is considered a valid reason to not hire someone like "hmmm sorry you weren't working constantly every day of your life we need people who do nothing but work until they drop dead for us we just don't think you're right for the job" fuck youuuu

This space bubble looks serene, but it is the result of one of the most energetic events in the universe: a supernova explosion. This shell is composed of hydrogen gas being shocked by the supernova’s expanding blast wave. The star exploded about 400 years ago, as seen from Earth.

Ripples in the shell's surface may be caused by either subtle variations in the density of the ambient interstellar gas, or possibly driven from the interior by pieces of the ejecta.

What type of supernova created this delicate sphere? https://bit.ly/3QtD4u5

Are all cephalopod in the cephalopoda family? Genus? Kingdom? Idk which it is

Also thank you Mr squid for delivering my mail

This chart helps breakdown the animal classification order

Domain-> Kingdom-> Phylum-> Class-> Order-> Family-> Genus-> Species

[There are also (sub/super)families, (sub/super)classes, (sub/super)orders, ect.]

To get into specifics with cephalopods here is a chart breaking down the scientific classification of a hummingbird bobtail squid!

So, yes!! All cephalopods belong to the Cephalopoda class, all cephalopods also fall under the Mollusca phylum, so Cephalopods are mollusks (like snails!!)

i learned why humans developed such delicate feet 🦶

We didn't actually develop delicate feet. Rather, we created shoes.

Without shoes, our feet would have more calluses:

Not wearing shoes would also result in broader spaces between our toes for improved balance, similar to what is shown on the left side of the image:

Our feet have become delicate because we no longer develop calluses on them due to the use of shoes.

This is about Sci-Hub. yeah we get it.. gatekeep knowledge and protect the interests of capital…

Listen, this is serious.

Do not use the website called Sci-Hub!

It lets people access scientific articles for free. This is dangerous. It helps the free flow of knowledge and reduces the competitive edge of all the people who worked really hard to have been born into a wealth.

Like, it’s literally a website where you can type in the DOI of an article and read it, without ever having to pay the publisher who exploited the author.

So, again, do not, under any circumstance, use Sci-Hub. I mean, can you imagine a world where knowledge is free and easily accessible to everyone? Even, y'know, poor people?

Libgen also has many books online, including textbooks, searchable by name, author, and ISBN. Can you imagine textbook companies not getting their hard-earned income from poor college students? Here is the link just so you make sure that you never accidentally stumble across this horrible, unethical website.

Oh, and while we’re talking about books, if you’ve managed to stay clear from Libgen, definitely don’t go to zlibrary, where you can also find a lot of textbooks, but unfortunately they’re completely free.

Reblogging so you know which sites to totally avoid
The problem with the “believe science” slogan is that it presents scientific research as a neutral, harmonious process. Critiquing science as it exists today—the web of institutions, funding and employment opportunities, and research agendas inseparable from the cultural priorities and prejudices of those who design them—is not a rejection of empirical knowledge production or any conceivable iteration of scientific institutions that might exist in alternate universes. It is a way to unmask the mythology that presents science as a pure synonym for knowledge and to talk about what is actually happening right now, and what needs to happen.

the only bad part about going to the zoo is hearing adult men confidently tell their kids or gfs objectively incorrect information about the animals we’re looking at and having to remain silent. do u know the restraint it takes to say nothing when a grown adult man tells someone “falcons are in the same family as eagles” next to me? no babygirl. no.

fyi falcons are not closely related to other birds of prey (hawks/eagles/buzzards). falcons are actually parrots that minmaxed for a glass cannon dps build.

assault parrots, if you will
