If you’re a biologist curious about AI but not sure where to start, this might help.

I put together Smarter Science, a visual cheat sheet covering key AI ideas and common pitfalls in biological research.

Ancient hybridization underlies tuberization and radiation of the potato lineage Genomic and functional analyses reveal that the potato lineage originated from a homoploid interspecific hybridization event between the Tomato and Etuberosum lineages 8–9 million years ago. The alter...

So actually potato comes from tomato! 🤯🤯

🌿 Arabidopsis all grown up and ready to dry!
The chambers are empty, the trays are full — summer mode until September.
Time to let nature (and desiccation) do its thing. ☀️🌱
