So I’m in love with Sheila Patek. She’s a professor at Berkeley and she studies Mantis Shrimp Morphology. Mantis Shrimp are found in the Pacific and are officially the world’s fasted foraging movement. Depending on the species the animals weapon is either a club or a spear. It strikes at over forty miles per hour. It’s strike is so powerful that when it hits it’s prey it is actually hit twice. The prey is hit once by the shrimps limb and a second time by the bubbles following the strike. When these bubbles compress they create incredible light and heat.
These animals are kept as exotic pets but are so powerful that they’ve been known to break their aquarium glass upon clubbing it.
If I end up going to grad school for Marine Ecology I’m def hitting this lady up. She’s brilliant, she’s a nerdy babe, and get this; she rides a unicycle.
She’s going down in my book as my nerdy science crush of the day.
Oh also, if you haven’t been able to tell I’m not addicted to TED talks. Blame Mark
I think humans were completely shafted by evolution taking our tails away. I think jeans would look really weird with a tail hole though. Eitherway if they make gecko based climbing gloves I’m buying them.
