  1. Learning to Look Closer #5

    Sometimes looking closer means seeing something beautiful. Sometimes it means looking into your aquarium and wondering what exactly your snail thinks she’s doing. Because apparently the glass wasn’t interesting enough. The plants weren’t interesting enough. No. She needed to climb. All the way to the top. And then hang there like this was a completely normal decision. So, naturally, I grabbed my camera. I’ve watched snails move around an aquarium plenty of times, but there […]

  11. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐌🫧 The grove snail secretes five distinct kinds of #mucus from a shared #protein base.

    German researchers found that #collagen IV and @calcium work together, cross-linking into networks of varying density to give each #slime different mechanical properties. Lab work, from cryo-scanning electron #microscopy to #proteomics, unpacks the #chemistry behind each output.

  16. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐌🌧️ #MaxPlanck researchers collected brown-lipped #snails on rainy days, fed them cucumbers and lichen, then coaxed out five different kinds of #mucus.

    Each #slime uses the same #proteins with varying concentrations, plus different amounts of #calcium and other ions. The result is a lubricant for gliding, two defensive options, a winter seal, and an adhesive that sticks to #wood, #glass, and #aluminum.
