Lots of other stuff happened. I wrote about weird ducks for @audubonsociety, spoke on @scifri about #InverteButtWeek alongside @franzanth, rescued some birds, turtles and snakes, saw some friends but not enough, saw some critters but never enough, got musked by new snakes, etc.

One of the best things to come out of twitter this past year was making #InverteButtWeek with @franzanth, @MaureenBug, @americanbeetles and so many others, and getting to talk about butts on @scifri. What a bright spot in a real butt of a year.

The joy. The giggles. The art.
What started as a rumble in the depths of #ScienceTwitter with @MaureenBug @RosemaryMosco @franzanth @americanbeetles, bubbled into absolute joy with SciFri butt correspondent @dpeterschmidt on public radio.

Today Iβm thinking of all the things I got from twitter, which should always have been a public commons: genuine friendships, almost every book Iβve read in the past few years, podcast recs, a D&D game, #InverteButtWeek, comics collaborations with amazing scientists! So much more

I made this honeypot ant mug inspired by #invertebuttweek so I could drink coffee out of its engorged butt (honeypot ants have specialized workers who can swell up and function as living larders throwing up food for the other ants)

I'm excited to talk comics, pigeons, and #InverteButtWeek in a keynote tomorrow for the Pennsylvania Association of Environmental Educators conference. Environmental educators made me who I am!

In celebration of #InverteButtWeek on Twitter, this week's episode is all about those butts. And guess what? There are a lot of weirdass butts in the animal kingdom #NowPlaying buzzsprout.com/603916/102593β¦ #science #nature #podcast

I have had to learn a lot more about spiders than I would have expected / hoped as the science and tech writer for @nerdist. Two weeks in the job, two articles where my arachnophobia has been quashed (a bit) by how much cool stuff spiders can do! #InverteButtWeek #SpiderTwitter

We almost missed #InvertebuttWeek!
Animals are amazing, regardless of what end you are looking at!

Just catching up on Science Friday episodes and can't believe #InverteButtWeek is a thing, and also that I missed it! π€―

SciFri national butt correspondent @dpeterschmidt asked @MaureenBug about her favorite animal butt. It's the sea cucumber!
What's your favorite animal butt?
#InverteButtWeek

ALT A quote block on top of an image of a sea cucumber on corals. The quote is from biologist and #Invertebuttweek co-creator Dr. Maureen Berg. This quote aired on Science Friday radio on March 4, 2022. It reads: βMy favorite animal butt to talk about is the sea cucumber butt just because it does a lot of weird things. It's not just one weird thing that does a lot. A lot of sea cucumbers' butts act as homes for other animals. Like you have a fish, you have crabs, you have a lot of things that live in the butt. And because, you know, maybe you don't want just any animal living in your butt, a lot of sea cucumbers have anal teeth to prevent certain animals from inhabiting their butt.β

As an ode to the anatomical uniqueness of these critters from front to back, science communicators and illustrators on Twitter dubbed March 1 to March 8 #InverteButtWeek. ow.ly/oELP30se6eR
