Maybe you're too cool to be involved with model boats, but that probably means you've never seen a Russian submarine being chased by an angry Moorhen:)

FOLKS, WE GOT EM! The second gosling encounter of baby bird season 2026. 🪶 🐣

Three researchers look closely at two preserved birds, sitting on a green countertop. White shelves and bones are in the background.

A preserved bird with a brown neck, a long beak, and shiny feathers, sits next to other birds in a drawer.

A preserved Heron, with a white tag attached to its leg, and a small antenna placed on its back.

A woman hands a small, preserved bird, down to a man. They stand in front of white drawers holding many preserved birds.

When solar-powered GPS trackers were losing power prematurely, researchers studying green herons headed to the Bell Museum collections to problem solve. In this blog post (link in bio), learn why tracking bird movement is essential for conservation and how UMN researchers are studying green herons.

Perry: This St. Patrick’s Day, don’t forget Irish music’s anti-fascist roots Dropkick Murphys, the iconic Irish American punk band, are headlining a free block party March 6 near where Alex Pretti was killed by immigration agents, contributing columnist David M. Perry writes.

NEW “We’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”

It's #WomensHistoryMonth! When people hear about women’s role in World War II, the image of Rosie the Riveter typically comes to mind; and while many did take industry jobs, American women and other minorities helped with the war effort during World War II in several ways. #MaritimeHistory

The crazy stuff this Yew tree has seen. Already an elder statestree by the time of the Norman Conquest. Born before King Alfred burned the cakes, before Bede wrote his Ecclesiastical History Of The English People. Oh, to listen to its gnarly anecdotes and its withering opinions on today's world.

Radical Object: A Song Born of Women's Protest How did a protest by a group of women from a Christian anarchist movement inspire a 1960s American folk song? Victoria Peretitskaya explores the origins of the song, the protest and its feminist legacy.

'If you have a protest no one wants to hear / Just attend a rally where the big shots meet / Strip to your hide and walk down the street’.

Victoria Peretitskaya explores the history of a 1960s folk song and the protest that inspired it.

A decommissioned AT-TE walker modified as a hunting craft.

I love this whole little tribute to Jaws.

The knight stood, triumphant, over the prostrate dragon. He raised his sword high above his head and-

"I wouldn't if i were you"

The voice was in his head. Confused, he glanced around. A black cat was cleaning a paw, casually nearby.

He raised the sword again.

"Are you REALLY, really sure?" /1

Has anyone generated a checklist?
