Scientific objectivity is a myth – cultural values and beliefs always influence science and the people who do it Cultural ideas are inextricably entwined with the people who do science, the questions they ask, the assumptions they hold and the conclusions they land on.

The myth of scientific objectivity hides the truth that every experiment is influenced by cultural values, assumptions and beliefs – and that actually hurts the search for truth

La iglesia™️ tiene a 10 metros de la mezquita el palacio episcopal y el obispado. Guardar la maquinaria dentro del monumento debería estar prohibido.
Urge recuperar la titularidad pública de la mezquita.

Los desperfectos son mayores de lo que se dijo en principio. Así ha quedado la capilla de la Mezquita de Córdoba afectada tras el incendio provocado por una negligencia de la Iglesia católica, que se la apropió por 30€, y que hace negocio con este patrimonio de la humanidad.

La Policía Local ha acordonado toda la Mezquita Catedral para facilitar el trabajo de los bomberos, que trabajan también sobre las cubiertas del monumento

Y todavía nos siguen criminalizando. Israel ha matado a 330 de nuestros compañeros.

Bluesky biology hive mind!

What's the best resource for learning about protein folding & design?

Could be a book, lecture (series), online course, etc. I'd like something in-depth that explains the concepts clearly.

Thank you!

AlphaFold - A practical guide AlphaFold - A practical guide

Recently I learnt that EMBL-EBI has a free online course about AlphaFold — how it works, strengths and limitations, how to use it — and it's very good!

There are also little quizzes and interactives.

Parallel evolution of salinity tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana accessions from Cape Verde Islands Plants from the Cape Verde Islands evolved parallel mutations to protect from high salinity.

Our story about salinity tolerance in the Cape Verde islands is out in Science Advances! @science.org. Two independent mutations in the same gene conferred salt resistance to Arabidopsis plants!

Thnx! De todas formas están bajando los niveles de polen, si te sirve de consuelo (al menos aquí en Sevilla). Imagino que el calor es que lo fríe todo (a nosotres, pero también a las plantas 😅). Aún así siguen por las nubes, pero yo he notado tela el cambio.
