We had a blast tonight at #REELScience Starship Troopers @cedarleetheatre hosted by entomologist and Invertebrate Zoology Collections Manager Dr. Nicole Gunter! For such an occasion, we even brought a really "BIG bug" with us, #Bathynomus giganteus: a benthic (deep sea) isopod from the museum. "Roly pollies" or "pill bugs" that you probably played with as a kid are their terrestrial (land-dwelling) cousins. Arthropods have never been quite as large as the "bugs" in Starship Troopers, but the Earth had and still has incredibly large invertebrates such as the coconut crab (Birgus latro) and the now extinct giant millipede, #Arthropleura. We have fun. #scicomm #CLE #cleveland #ilovemuseums #wearestemsquad (at Cleveland, Ohio)

Repost: @ericcolsen Artist @TheasterGates & Actor @ericcolsen talk to @HarvardChanSPH Prof Dr. Mary T Bassett about the impacts of #racism on health. -- "COVID has shown that our world has these fissures that we are going to have to knit together. There is too much of a gap between the rich and the poor. Our environment has become too degraded,” @HarvardChanSPH Prof Dr. Mary Bassett talks w/ @TheasterGates and @ericcolsen on #ReelScience w/@HarvardCCHANGE & @green4ema.
