Important letter making an analogy between AI companies and tobacco & petroleum industries.

How to detect consciousness in people, animals and maybe even AI Insights from human brains could inform how scientists search for awareness in all its possible forms.

A feature in Nature explores how research into developing ways to probe layers of consciousness in the human brain could inform how scientists search for awareness in all its possible forms. 🧪

Very cool! How do cytosolic ribosomes discriminate between ER and mitochondria targeted proteins?
NAC recognizes mitochondrial targeting sequences! Very important since over 95% of the mitochondrial proteome is translated in the cytosol and then imported to mitochondria.
Congrats!

We teach kids how to pick strawberries - so why don’t we show them what happens to the animals we feed them? 🤔💔

EMBL Hamburg scientists have discovered a group of microbial cold-loving molecules, ‘cryorhodopsins’, with extraordinary abilities.

They are the first observed molecules that can act as both on and off switches for electrical activity in cells.

Infrared imaging shows heat levels in sun-exposed leaves of Alstonia scholaris from the Australian Wet Tropics. As climate change increases temperatures and the severity of heat waves, both natural ecosystems and agricultural plants are increasingly affected by heat. Examining heat responses at cellular, genetic, physiological, and ecosystem scales, this special issue explores how plants sense and respond to high temperatures.

As the world warms, plants in natural ecosystems and agricultural settings find ways to respond to the heat.

In a new special issue of Science, researchers examine how heat affects plants at multiple scales, from the molecular level to the biosphere. scim.ag/44cSw3Z

Senator Alex Padilla is a good man and principled public servant.

The brazen and aggressive manhandling of Senator Padilla by the Trump administration is a sickening disgrace.

Anyone who assaulted the Senator should be held accountable.

No one is above the law.

Metabolic adaptations direct cell fate during tissue regeneration - Nature Metabolic enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, such as 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, are differentially expressed in absorptive and secretory lineages, guiding cell fate establishment and offering insights for targeted regenerative therapies.

A very clear example of how threatened free speech and democracy are right now in America

Queue up the status quo consultants: “this is a Distraction from kitchen table issues.”

Our kingdom for a Senator who can tie Medicaid, killing cancer cures, and bodying @padilla.senate.gov all up into one coherent message on Trump tyranny and harm to America.
