Well, I think that depends. Stories are nice, but there is nothing bad on boring, difficult to approach , descriptions. If you dont consider social aspect, it doesnt really matter what general audience think about a research. From that point of view publishing is a way of recording phenomena.

@odedrechavi.bsky.social Oh, it’s working now — all I had to do was ask 😅😅 sorry!

@odedrechavi.bsky.social Thanks, it looks good! I wanted to give it a try, but it says something about a closed beta. I’m registered and everything, but it still won’t let me in. Are you guys just overloaded and can’t handle new users yet, or am I doing something wrong?

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📣: I haven’t been this excited to be part of something new in 15 years… Thrilled to reveal the passion project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half!🙀🥳 (thread 👇)

Penguin poop might help cool Antarctica. A study in @commsearth.nature.com suggests ammonia from Adelie penguin guano boosts cloud formation, which could reduce surface temperatures and slow sea ice loss: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

In celebration of World Octopus Day, we wanted to revisit one of our favorite cephalopod sightings, the glass octopus — Vitreledonella richardi filmed during a month-long #PhoenixIslandsCoral expedition in 2021.

4th and final day #MATBIOX #Mathematicalbiology workshop
@4euplusalliance.bsky.social @sciencecharles.bsky.social @mff.unikarlova.cuni.cz was dedicated to the panel discussion and goodbyes. 🧪 Many thanks to everyone who participated, even though some had to leave before we took the group picture.

3rd day #MATBIOX #Mathematicalbiology workshop
@4euplusalliance.bsky.social @sciencecharles.bsky.social @mff.unikarlova.cuni.cz focusing on physiology and morphogenesis, we learned about current topics and challenges. 🧪 After intensive program we went for well deserved dinner in the evening.

2nd day #MATBIOX #Mathematicalbiology workshop @4euplusalliance.bsky.social @sciencecharles.bsky.social @mff.unikarlova.cuni.cz was after short intro focusing on population biology and we even managed to get into field 🤗 @sorbonne-universite.fr @uniheidelberg.bsky.social @cardiffuni.bsky.social 🧪

1st day of #MATBIOX #Mathematicalbiology workshop @4euplusalliance.bsky.social @sciencecharles.bsky.social @mff.unikarlova.cuni.cz we started with students' flashtalks , openair lecture by Vlastimil Krivan, and icebreaker. @sorbonne-universite.fr @uniheidelberg.bsky.social @cardiffuni.bsky.social

The room is set and we will begin soon with introduction and flashtalks #MATBIOX #Mathematicalbiology workshop @4euplusalliance.bsky.social @sciencecharles.bsky.social @mff.unikarlova.cuni.cz

But that is not valid statement. I can be 100% against inequality, even fighting actively against it, and still dont want to read post about US politics.

Final preparations are made for our upcoming #MATBIO Xchange workshop Nižbor, Czech Republic within the @4euplusalliance.bsky.social @sorbonne-universite.fr @uniheidelberg.bsky.social @sciencecharles.bsky.social, Universities of Warsaw, and Milano. #MATBIOX #MathematicalBiology 🧪

ah, what a pity, I would like to see the red one

Why dobt you show the fluorescence here?

So it is the scale. Because all the megafauna globaly went extinct we see effects that normally we ascribe to geological/climatic events, but we are naturally underestimating biotic effect cause we consider them too small?

Can you elaborate a bit more on how new this is? I mean ecology understands these effects for some time already no? So what is it that makes this special?

What if—and this might sound crazy—we actually paid reviewers? I mean, properly. Since, you know, reviewing isn’t in their job description and they usually do it in their so-called free time? No? Still no? Cool cool cool. Just me being unreasonable again.

Ernst Mayr was born OTD in 1904.

“Most scientific problems are far better understood by studying their history than their logic.”

Is there a cognitive hierachy between ecto- and endotherms driven by brain size/neuron counts? Probably not.

Very interesting opinion piece by @zegnitriki.bsky.social et al., shifting focus to sensory–motor integration to explain brain size differences.🧪
