"For the boys in the club, the arrangement worked to their benefit. Epstein donated millions of dollars to their research, hosted them at networking dinners at his home, invited them to visit his island or his ranch in Santa Fe, and connected them to potential funders to further their work."

Endozoochory is my favourite hyper specific science-y term. I have never had a need to use it but it is stuck in my head anyway.

Corona UV signals observed under a thunderstorm on 27 June 2024. (a) Approximate location of all 859 corona UV signals observed during the ∼1.5-hr observation period on a sweetgum tree. Each corona UV signal is colored by the number of total isotropic UV photons between 255 and 273 nm emitted by the corona discharge, as estimated from the illuminated pixels observed in that frame. The boxes depict the Corona Observing Telescope System (COTS) UV camera field of view, and the colors indicate the observation time for the branch within each box. Panel (b) as in (a), but for all 93 corona UV signals observed during the ∼20-min observation period on a loblolly pine tree. Locations of boxes and corona UV signals are only approximate because the wind blew the branches in and out of the COTS field of view. Note a corona UV signal is defined as a contiguous bundle of several illuminated pixels.
Coronae glow on the tips of spruce needles, induced by charged metal plates in a laboratory. These weak electric discharges subtly singe the tips of leaves and needles, and new observations indicate they may occur ubiquitously across treetops under thunderstorms. Credit: William Brune
During thunderstorms, electric discharges in the air cause trees to glow with an ultraviolet aura. You can't see it with your eyes, but researchers have finally managed to measure it & recreate it in the lab. 🧪🔭

If humans evolved from monkey, why monkeys do not turn into humans now? Currently, they don't, but in the past there were more experiments which lead to the convergent bipedalism in the monkey clade besides hominids. Plio-Pleistocene was the generator time.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
Our latest.
If you are also dealing with a sense of betrayal, I think this is a good listen.
Scientific societies (plural) have failed us because they are, in the end, still behaving like boys' clubs.
Also TW about the incident in SVP24 Minneapolis.

His anti-reading stance is certainly…bold.

Two realistic plush Fire Salamanders. They are made of soft plush velvet fabric, printed with vibrant yellow and black markings.
Four Protoype plushie Fire Salamanders, laying on their side showing their colourful bellies. Some have red bellies, some are yellow and dotty.
I've finished the Salamanders!! I currently have the "finalised" versions as well as some (cheaper) Prototypes for sale!
