Some adorable valentines inspired by nature, from the always wonderful Bird and Moon comic. That middle one is especially cool. Certain species of ants “milk” sweet sap from aphids in order to get a sugary meal. It’s a biological relationship called “mutualistic symbiosis”. Maybe not love, but certainly a tight-knit bond.

oldblueeyes: Alan Watts: What if money was no object? I don’t usually post whole comics, but this is just too great. Paste this to your mirror. Read it like a weekly devotional. Sit and really think about the true meaning of “reward”, and what’s “rewarding” to you will become quite a bit clearer. (via Zen Pencils, which you should really read back to front)

chazmcintyre: Animatus is the name of a series of installations by Korean artist Hyungkoo Lee. Based in Seoul, he takes imaginary animals with fantasy to create false skeletons in resin. These are wonderfully hilarious, but it’s important to remember that they are influenced by actual animal physiology. Lee uses a combination of real animal bones and synthetic structures to build them. See more at his website, including Bugs Bunny, Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner. Bonus: Be sure not to miss Jason Freeny’s Lego anatomy sculptures, which are equally awesome.

sciencepopularis: Oh so true…. Credit: SMBC Yeah … There are a number of good science reporters out there … but this pretty much nails it. The problem with science journalism is that often, science journalists have nothing to do with it. It’s some beat reporter who hasn’t taken biology since 11th grade who has to drop off 800 words to the editor in three hours. So they re-write a press release and slap a flashy headline on it. Or they post something from Science Daily, which is not a news site, but rather a press release posting site. If you need suggestions on where to get good science news, check out my links page. Don’t miss PHD Comics’ take on the science news cycle, and my post about “how to read a science news article”.
