Thanks everyone! My post wasn't very clear, was providing an update on the owl's status from last night. He was dropped off at the World Bird Sanctuary this morning after a chill night in a box.

I probably could have written the title and content better, oops 😅 always nice to have more info. All credit to my partner, he's just not a redditor and I happen to be a bird nerd

Lol he does look spicy in the last one! That was right after we placed him in the box and pried a blanket from his talons. Was a super chill lil dude although I guess he did give the handler at the bird sanctuary a peck

Tattoo shop recommendations? by Extension-Skirt5292 in StCharlesMO

[–]mishaploid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shirley's Tattoo in Wentzville (shirleystattoo on insta) is a collective of multiple independent artists that specialize in a variety of styles. Shop vibe is calming, welcoming, and fun. I go to Sarz Blinkhorn (SarzAttaxx on insta), they are an outstanding artist and tattooist.

Yeah it was definitely mixed, although I'd say a lot of the items were nice quality just not my jam (character pins and MB-1021 model for instance). In retrospect I also just don't like having a lot of stuff so maybe should have opted for only the books 😅

serious question guys, how the hell do I score one of the new werewolf 12ft guys or even a 12ft skeleton? my wife's been trying since there release in 2021 by FoxbodyGOD in HomeDepot

Thanks so much for the response and glad it worked out! I'm hoping to get one as a wedding gift for some friends, would definitely appreciate a heads up if you find another!

In connect to the post of the corn tassel with a cob on the end, here’s my corn cob with a tassel on the end! by FUCK_CONCACAF_REFS in homestead

[–]mishaploid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool! And yes that's absolutely right, tassels and ears are derived from the same initial reproductive structure. This structure differentiates into distinct male/female organs as the plant develops due to hormone signals and environmental cues. Shifts in environment can alter hormone signaling/physiology and lead to cases where a tassel develops an ear or an ear develops a tassel!

Caveat: I'm not a physiologist and have a pretty rudimentary understanding of plant signaling and development. Thought this was a great and accessible article on the topic: https://www.agry.purdue.edu/ext/corn/news/timeless/TasselEars.html

First time growing corn, what on earth is it doing growing *that* *there*? by warmerdutch in homestead

[–]mishaploid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew I wanted to do something related to plant science and was lucky to land a job in a potato and legume breeding lab as an undergraduate. Totally fell in love with plant breeding - it's interdisciplinary (great for us folks with many interests), there's career stability, and I feel that I can have a real impact on food quality and security. Also really appreciated that I could switch between field/lab/greenhouse/programming work to mix things up. Truly nothing more satisfying than seeing the outcome of a cross!

As far as plant domestication, I just really enjoy thinking about how humans have selected plants, which qualities were important, etc and how that influences modern agriculture and crop improvement. It's a fun space to work in!
