Oo, I remember this. Antagonism is such a powerful mechanism to maintain global diversity while it does the opposite locally. Always surprises me a little how, even at the strain level, so much energy is spent on producing stuff to repel others.

Biology-first modelling: why? β The Virtual Laboratory.com
When I build models, I start with biology. Not with elegant equations or tidy abstractions, but with the messy, fascinating mechanisms that govern life. Like most biologists, I care about how things a...
My brain wouldnt science this morning so I wrote a pretentious blog (as one does). I think biology-first modelling deserves more attention. Itβs not the only way, but itβs one of the few that can capture the unruly, generative, and surprising nature of life.

Zou er al 1 stemmer het vertrouwen in deze prutser hebben verloren, of zou opnieuw stemmen nog meer gedonder geven? Als we peilingwijzer (afbeelding) moeten geloven is het iets minder hopeloos, maar nog steeds krankzinnig hoeveel mensen tegen hun eigen belang in blijven stemmen.

Working less is the most underrated climate solution
Fewer work hours can lower emissions. So why isnβt the climate movement fighting for our collective right to relax?
Longer working hours have been linked to higher emissions, yet the climate movement seems reluctant to join the campaign for a four-day weekβa potential strategic error given the social, health and climate benefits of working less.
