That's fair!

THIS, thank you for saying it.

In the pooled data, the pattern is quite clear: 0.5 cups, no change from 0 (hazard ratio CIs span 1) - so far, so expected - & then the 2 higher dosages show a drop in risk. Not a trend, possibly a threshold effect. But - noisy data & many confounding variables.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

£300? That's some expensive butter. I take it you are pricing in vets bills and I hope the doggo is feeling better now!

Or perhaps you ought to really aim high and publish in [insert impressive scientific journal here]?

This really is a very good piece. I think quite a lot lies behind it. First that the *actual* education of the likes of Musk etc is very superficial. Just enough Western Civ classes at elite universities for them to persuade themselves that they are talented intellects without any deep study.

Kalanchoe marnieriana is a facultative cloning plant, which normally does not produce plantlets but do produce plantlets when leaves are detached.

every single person writing credulously about "elon will put people on the moon" should have to pin this post to their monitor

Ah, collaboration, not competition, that's the way to go! Especially when you find someone else researching [mention their recent paper/project]. Your joint publication in Nature is gonna be GOLD!

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

#RatOfTheWeek: Walter!
He's the second of our two new rescues. A lovely, soft, gentle boy, currently being introduced to our other boys and acting like he's not twice their size. Sweetheart ❤️

Sanae Takaichi wins historic vote to become Japan's first female prime minister Sanae Takaichi, who calls herself Japan's Margaret Thatcher, stitched up a late night deal to bring her within two votes of the PM chair.

They’re electing a prime minister, yet the main headline is still her gender, not her ideas or what she stands for 😤 www.bbc.com/news/live/cy...

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

🇺🇸 🔥 That. Was. Impressive.

We are watching America reassert itself and its values from the grassroots up. The world saw you and we have huge hope invested in you.

A leaf‐surface fungus mediates interactions between leafcutter bees and the plants they cut to line their nests Many insects damage leaves, a phenomenon that is foundational to their impacts on terrestrial ecosystems. Leaf traits, including chemistry, shape these interactions. In turn, leaf-surface (phylloplan....

Isn’t it amazing that plants have transcription factors that literally move from one cell to another to shape development? As a non-developmental biologist, I find this mind-blowing 🤯 genesdev.cshlp.org/content/25/1...

Then fix it.

Yaaaaawwwn!

A roan top eared rat in a fluffy tunnel; just his face shows.

Now he's taking and stretching out one paw towards us.

Here he's having a cuddle and eating a treat

And here, he's observing and exploring his new home - sitting up in an alert posture, whiskers forward.

#RatOfTheWeek - we just collected two new ratties who were in need of a new forever home. He's one of them, Cyril. Settling well into his new life.

Natural products from food sources can alter the spread of antimicrobial resistance plasmids in Enterobacterales Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to global public health. Notably, resistance to carbapenem and extended-spectrum β-lactam antibiotics in Gram-negative bacteria is a major…

Leaked memo reveals Labour plan to slash affordable homes target A requirement for developers to build affordable housing in London is set to be cut from 35% of new homes to 20%, in a move councils fear will spread across Britain

Excuse me but, what the f*** is the point of targets to build homes that only the wealthy can afford? How does it help anyone who is not a property developer? And why does Labour care more about property developers than families? liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/398...

Grindle. A dark grey rat with a crooked white blaze running at an angle from the left side of his pink nose up to the center of his forehead. He had pink dumbo ears and white whiskers and he's looking at the camera with his shiny black eyes

Here he's sitting up in a hand. His back feet are sticking out towards the camera and he's holding a piece of cucumber like it's a steering wheel for an invisible go kart.

Here he's snuggled into his human's cardigan for a cuddle.

#RatOfTheWeek - one of our past boys who deserves to be remembered - Grindle! He had the softest fur and the softest brain - such a daft, sweet, cuddly soul. And very very cute with it!

The "no-one talks about immigration" line is so obviously nonsense. Not only is it one of the single most reported on issues in the media, it is also one of the most talked about in politics, with "immigration" alone referenced more than 1,700 times in the last 12 months in House of Commons. 1/

Maybe. I kind of think ChatGPT would do better, to be honest.

"Cases of the Candidozyma auris virus have been increasing and spreading in hospitals. This dangerous fungus, once limited to a small number of isolated cases, has now spread to every continent, except Antarctica."

Quality science reporting from the Mirror here 🤣🤦😭

Virus or fungus? At least pick one!
