🔥Postdoc opportunity 🌱

The Legris lab at the University of Neuchâtel 🇨🇭 is looking for a Postdoc to work on the regulation of branching by warm temperatures. If you have a background on plant physiology and development, and you're interested in shoot thermomorphogenesis, apply now!

It's tomorrow!
Don't miss out!!!

Super excited to release a huge evolution project on the works for many years:

Es ist irgendwas zwischen liberaler Eitelkeit und historischer Ignoranz, immer wieder fest daran glauben zu wollen, die Rechtsextremen seien ausschließlich argumentativ zu „stellen“ und zu besiegen. Wahr ist erstmal das Gegenteil: Wenn sie für Argumente offen wären, wären sie keine Rechtsextremen.

There was a Special Issue in the Journal called 'Biologie in unserer Zeit', which rather addresses informed lay people, I would say. Maybe that helps. www.biuz.de/index.php/bi...

Die Naturwissenschafts-Community muss sich hier klar auf die Seite der Geistes- & Sozialwissenschaft stellen. Das ist ein Angriff auf alle. (Thread)

I'll try! Thanks for your thoughts on this issue, nonetheless!

I would like to be able to reproducibly measure and compare leaf surface temp between different plants. That might either be within the same image/measurement or between different images on a given day, let's say. Do you have any recommendations for that or experience with smartphone IR cameras? Thx

Thanks for your reply, Barton. My expectation is that we would need to be able to reproducibly resolve temp differences at 1.0 +/- 0.5 K. So, anything that is able to resolve temp differences above 0.1 K would be fine, I guess. The temp range at which we would be working is between 20 and 50 °C.

Does anyone here have any experience with smartphone-compatible infrared cameras to measure leaf surface temperature?

Anyone up for some #ToxTuesday?
A lot of us love spicy foods, and the capsaicin in chili peppers that gives us that heat can be addictive. But is there anything hotter? I'm glad you asked. Yes, yes there is. And it's called RESINIFERATOXIN

Amazing postdoc opportunity in the group of Marcel Quint!

Ich bin es echt leid: Immer wieder bekundet Bayerns Ministerpräsident Markus Söder (CSU) seine große Liebe zum CSU-Politiker Franz-Josef Strauß, der in konservativen Kreisen als "Kraftpaket", "begnadeter Rhetoriker und Staatsmann" verklärt und als "politisches Vorbild" verehrt wird. 🧵 (1/21)

In wie vielen Beiträgen auch von Qualitätsmedien und klugen Stimmen die Unterscheidung „Koalitionsende durchdenken“ und „Koalitionsende herbeisabotieren“ schon wieder verloren geht, sind wir wirklich so leicht zu verwirren?

Saying ‘I don’t know’ in talks has become a lost art, unfortunately. Super interesting discussions require us to be open about what we don’t know and what still needs to be explored. Here’s my recipe for answering questions in talks:
