A truly weird animal by Arthur Anker on Flickr.
Via Flickr:
A thalassematid echiuran (spoon worm) from Madang, Papua New Guinea, an odd animal that constantly changes its shape, is “never the same” … these 6 photos show the same individual, I also made nice videos of the remarkable peristaltic movements

THE COMPLEAT ELECTROPHYSIOLOGIST
Electrofishsiology
by ~raindianWhile trying to catch and not kill one of those Caudate neurons, I came across this idea. Electrophysiology is like fishing. It’s an art that tests your endurance and patience.
I’m 90% sure one of the girls I’m friends with on Facebook’s dance costume for her “Egyptian” themed recital is actually a Princess Leia slave bikini.
She has no idea and I’m not going to tell her.

Needle playing a record | Victrola Coffee Roasters
Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the needle (stylus) of a record player in a groove on a record. A record is used to store sound. It is produced by a machine with a head which vibrates in time to the sound being recorded. This cuts a groove in the record which varies according to the vibrations. A needle can then reproduce these vibrations as it runs along the groove and these, when amplified, produce the original sound.

Yes, exactly. We need more girls going into science! Now there aren’t many Nobel Prizes being given to women, mostly because society pushed them away from science decades ago. But now that can all be changed, if more girls go into science.

Nebulous Lizardfish (Saurida nebulosa) eating a Jewel Fairy Basslet
Lizardfish are predatory, relying on camouflage to remain undetected by their prey. They often bury themselves in the sand with only their eyes protruding.
The basslet in the the picture was too large and eventually swam away.
