Than you for your valued time, dear esteemed editor 🤷
Great to see that you advertise being indexed by Sci-hub though :D

oops...must have accidentally ordered it...how could that have happened :D

NYT headline: “Kennedy Advises New Parents to ‘Do Your Own Research’ on Vaccines” Subheader: “In an interview with Dr. Phil, the health secretary offered false information about vaccine oversight and revealed a lack of basic understanding of new drug approvals.”

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?”

A1/A2 Genetic Background of Cows, But Not Their Horn Status, Influences Milk Protein Digestion - Agrarforschung Schweiz The influence of horn status and the genetic variant of the (A1/A2) β-Casein milk protein on milk quality and digestion is the subject of much debate. This study shows that the milk of cows with a gen...

A study shows that the milk of #cows with a genetic difference in β-Casein is digested slightly differently in the human stomach, but that horn status has no effect in this regard. #food #genetics

Neue Analysen: Die Zahl Pi nimmt langsam zu Interdisziplinäre Forschung zeigt: Pi war früher geringfügig kleiner als heute. Daraus ergeben sich dramatische Konsequenzen für die künftige Sicherheit von Kreissägen und Kreisverkehren.

Erstaunliche neue Erkenntnisse: Die Zahl Pi nimmt langsam zu.

Opinion | Don’t Believe Him (Gift Article) Look closely at the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s second term and you’ll see something very different than what he wants you to see.

“Trump is acting like a king because he is too weak to govern like a president. He is trying to substitute perception for reality. He is hoping that perception then becomes reality. That can only happen if we believe him.”
This by Ezra Klein struck me as a really important perspective.

In dieser Woche spricht Katrin mit Franz Bender von Agroscope über das Potenzial von Citizen Science und darüber, was uns vergrabene Unterhosen über den Boden verraten können.

Pro-tip: check out the supplementary table, I think it's very useful for future literature searches ;)
Great work everyone!

Oh nice…that shortens the lovely “ I read it somewhere, let’s search for
hours for that one paper” rabbit hole

I tried it the other day with the goal to find a specific paper from a “certain author “ 🙋‍♂️ but even with many details it didn’t show up…

Word cloud created from the titles of published papers based on google scholar. In this case it includes soil, mid-infrared, agricultural, fields, headlands, determination, spectroscopy as the biggest words

All my writing of the last 7 years condensed 😅 thanks @mrillig.bsky.social

Diamond is a solid form of carbon with its atoms arranged in a crystal structure known as diamond cubic. It is metastable at standard temperature and pressure, converting to the chemically stable form graphite under those conditions but at a negligible rate.
