Let’s get carving! Did you know that certain plants and certain bat species, like Anoura fistulata, have adapted to each other for better pollination outcomes? An NSF-supported researcher studies these flying friends as they pollinate various plant species! Photo credit: Nathan Muchhala/University of Missouri at St. Louis. Follow these steps to create this spooky design on your Halloween pumpkin: Step 1: Print out the template to match the size of your pumpkin’s face. Step 2: Cut out and discard the dark areas of the template. Step 3: Trace the white areas of the template onto your pumpkin. Ask an adult for help with this step! Step 4: Carefully carve out the design. Improvising is encouraged!

This armored giant girdled lizard skull is one of 20,000 vertebrates to be scanned in 3D by computed tomography in an NSF-supported project called oVert, or openVertebrate. The resulting collection of recreated 3D models will be open-access, or made available to all, through Morphosource, Duke University’s public database.
Let’s get carving!NSF’s logo is made up of three main components:1) The medallion, which represents the “gold standard” NSF sets in its merit review process of scientific proposals.2) The globe, which represents the domestic and global reach of the impacts that result from NSF-funded research across all fields of science.3) The acronym NSF, which stands for “National Scence Foundation”
