Gall of the week, is the oak apple, caused by the cynipid wasp Biorhiza pallida sexual generation.
A week late as May 29th was oak apple day, or shick-shack day. It marks the restoration of the Stuart monarchy in 1660, and was a public holiday until 1859.
Photographer unknown.

This Lone Ranger Atomic Bomb ring was distributed by Kix cereal in the late 40's, for 15 cents and a mail-in box top.
It was actually a spinthariscope containing radioactive Polonium-210 (one of the most toxic substances out there).
A child would take the toy into a pitch-black room, remove the tail cap from the 'bomb', and look through a tiny lens to see flashes of light from the Polonium-210 atoms decaying into Lead-206.

The director of MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center was shot to death last night in his home. When one of the greatest minds on the planet specializing in nuclear fusion is assassinated, it seems like a bad omen.

Writing papers is hard
But, and this is Very important:
Not writing papers is also hard
The frustration & stress that comes from not getting your papers written and published is huge
If you need help with this PLEASE, take a copy of my book from a library, amazon or a friend!

This mossy girl (Taraxippus sp.) from Peru was the most incredible phasmid I have ever seen, I could not get over how perfectly camouflaged it was on the mossy trees! 🌳
So in awe of our natural world! 🌿

"Writing isn’t a gift—it’s a skill.” In my book, ecologist @mrodriguezcabal (EIC @BioInvasions ) shows why writing early/often sharpens your thinking and your science.
Great text!
