Check out the release of our new apparel at live31.org/store live31.org is our new website! Check it out! Alex Eklund, a student at Baylor University, posted a status on Facebook stating, "I'd rather have a Proverbs 31 woman than a Victoria's Secret Model". Since then, other Baylor students and their friends have reposted, made graphics, and even a page has been made for it all because of the positive reaction it received from the people that saw it. Here are Alex's thoughts on the movement's beginning as well as some of his goals for the movement and what he believes the message means to so many people.

This experiment was made possible through the support of the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) and the Baylor College of Medicine (BCM). Larvae and technical assistance provided by Monarch Watch, Butterfly Pavilion, and Clearwater Butterfly. Heres a great shot of a painted lady trying to fly without the aid of gravity. It gets a bit disoriented and bounces off a few wall before giving up and clinging to the wall. Exciting stuff!!

Larvae and technical assistance provided by Monarch Watch, Butterfly Pavilion, and Clearwater Butterfly. Sorry for the extended delay of video postings. If you have been following the pictures BioEd Online (highly recommended), you have noticed just how dirty and cluttered with droppings the habitats have become. Do to this, coupled with very little activity before the actual pupation, there was little to see from the videos. Unfortunately, much of the pupation video of the PLadies was interrupted by signal outages and video schedule conflicts with NASA. This was unavoidable, but we may get some footage from recorders that captured some of that video. However, this video isnt available for a few weeks. Not to worry, we will be compiling all the video and making some great short clips of major events after the experiment gets wrapped up. This video shows a PLady that emerged earlier in the day (during signal outage). It bumps its wings into another chrysalis on the wall and sends it flying. Check back in soon to see just how many butterflies emergeyou may be surprised.

This experiment was made possible through the support of the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) and the Baylor College of Medicine (BCM). Larvae and technical assistance provided by Monarch Watch, Butterfly Pavilion, and Clearwater Butterfly. A great shot of post-emergence of one of our Monarchs. Usually they hang upside down on their chrysalis to inflate their wings. This guy is hanging on for dear life!!

Jones' size, skills, and athleticism give him huge upside but his lack of drive is a huge question mark. Watch this video to get a full look at Jones, as well as hear what his former college coach Scott Drew has to say about Jones.

Soon after the OU pep band joined them and both received a standing ovation. Sic'em 50000 spectator flash mob!

This experiment was made possible through the support of the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) and the Baylor College of Medicine (BCM). Larvae and technical assistance provided by Monarch Watch, Butterfly Pavilion, and Clearwater Butterfly. This habitat is getting tight! In this video one of the butterflies grabs onto the last chrysalis and dislodges it from the wall. It floats around a bit and even seems as if it is flying while it clutches to the poor thing. After that, there are some attempts at flying. Imagine if these things had free rein outside their habitats in the ISS, what a sight that would be! Our scientists are a bit worried for the welfare of the remaining chrysalis. The delicate wings of the butterfly immediately following emergence can easily be damaged by the two behemoths in there right now. Lets hope it can grasp a wall and stay out of the way once it emerges.
