Thanks for your post. I’ve seen other comparisons between British and American documentary style, and the American version is inevitably more superficial and sensationalized. Whose bright idea was it to substitute the voice of one of the greatest living naturalists for that of a daytime talk-show host infamous for promoting pseudoscience nonsense?

Just read your bee article in the Scientific American blog. I haven’t read something that well written in years. The cadence was excellent and it was easily understandable. Much, much appreciated.

Hi Jennifer,
I was just reading your sci american blog and I coulnd’t leave a comment so found you here.

thanks for the very interesting article on Bb and Tp. They are insidious bugs and I think the more you delve the more their biology becomes really fascinating.

I just wanted to correct one thing however. Bb can cross the placenta and can cause stillbirth, miscarriage and congenital Lyme disease is infants. These are just two published studies. Schlesinger et al, 1985, Lavoie et al, 1985. There are reports of other tick borne infections also crossing the placenta, and of course treponema does. So this shouldn’t come as any surpise.

Regards,
Wendy

You’re terrific –you’re now on my “favorites” file and I stole your amoeba picture (the amoeba planning world domination) so I can look at it every once in a while and giggle (I too plan world domination).

Hello Jennifer,

I have some good photos of a spruce rust outbreak several years ago in the middle Kuskokwim Region of Alaska (Holitna River). If you’re interested I could send them along.

Hey Jennifer.
Thanks so much for this. I recently came across the artful amoeba and it is by far the best science blog out there. I recently added it to my bookmarks. Keep up the great job!
Cheers,
Hisham

Thank you for doing the Artful Amoeba, for making such a rich part of the natural world accessible and understandable to us ‘lay types’. You’ve created a delightful, intelligent site.

cheers, Storm
