Final version @nature.com of our paper describing unconventional multicellular development in a choanoflagellate inhabiting an extreme environment. A ton of new data since the first @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social preprint (which we've kept updating).

A brief 🧵 (carried over from the old place)

London just joined Minnesota.

Trafalgar Square filled with protesters demanding justice for Alex Pretti while opposing Farage.

When state violence goes unchecked, the world notices.

Solidarity doesn’t stop at borders. 🇬🇧 👏👏👏👏👏👏💙

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

"Digitale Auslöschung": Wie US-Sanktionen einen europäischen Richter lahmlegen Nicolas Guillou ist von beinahe allen digitalen Diensten dieser Welt gesperrt – von Amazon bis Paypal. Europa wirkt dagegen völlig machtlos

Diese Geschichte ist unfassbar.
Weil der Trump-Regierung die Arbeit des Internationalen Strafgerichtshofs nicht passt, wird ein französischer Richter digital de facto ausgelöscht und bekommt keine Kreditkarte und kein Bankkonto mehr:

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Tonight, a Russian drone hit a busy crossroads in Sumy.

Nine people injured, over 10 vehicles damaged, windows shattered, civilian infrastructure damaged - Radio Liberty

Casual Russian terrorism that will never make headlines but continues bringing tragedies to Ukrainians.

The scent of silence! Cool research in Cell @cellpress.bsky.social to brighten up your day🌹. The mystery of why some roses are fragrant and others aren't has an answer. It's called SCREP: a rose-specific gene that evolved from non-coding DNA 16.8 million years ago 👇

I am horrified. If you use US material, download all old reports you use. The record will be erased. Even that might not save you: every report sourced from the US will now have to be suspected of politicised manipulation and will in the future the same credibility as Iran’s human rights reports

A comic on the bridge from Star Trek the Next Generation.
Picard: COMMANDER DATA, PLEASE IDENTIFY THAT ROMULAN VESSEL.
Data: THAT'S A GREAT IDEA CAPTAIN!
IDENTIFYING A VESSEL IS A GREAT PLACE TO START - IN ANY TACTICAL OR STRATEGIC OUTER SPACE SITUATION.
THIS VESSEL APPEARS TO BE A 23rd CENTURY KLINGON BIRD OF
PREY! 🚀🦅✨
Picard: ARE YOU SURE?
LIKE I SAID WE'RE... PRETTY SURE IT'S ROMULAN.
Data: ...
Data: OF COURSE! SO SORRY ABOUT THAT, YOU'RE RIGHT!
ON CLOSER EXAMINATION IT'S A ROMULAN VESSEL! CAN I RECOMMEND SOME SOONG™ BRAND PRODUCTS THAT CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT?
Picard cradles his face in his hand in a gesture of frustration.
Data: DID I MENTION THE PLIGHT OF OPRESSED WHITES IN SOUTH AFRICA?

Last night Russia attacked a European capital with ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones. Today the story barely registers in international news headlines.
Western normalization and acceptance of Russian atrocities in Ukraine is what makes them possible.
