Baffling failure of a well-studied trade-off in plants to survive the transfer from greenhouse studies to the open field. Intriguing study from @derekseveri.bsky.social @plantevolution.bsky.social and colleagues in @plosbiology.org

Beets, 🥕, 🌰, pickles, 🍎, sometimes also herring.

And I thought that Finnish Chrismas salad "rosolli" was weird.

Oh my god...

You know over the years what I have been really bothered by? When I was in college, bryophytes were taught as if they were relics of the past. Its sole purpose was to demonstrate trait progression leading to angiosperm, w/o mentioning their importance in nature, research, or potential in biotech.

Who started this ridiculous habit of using K for thousands? 10K run? 10 kelvin run is freezing! And now in scientific writing too. I know there are big battles going on now, but I will focus on this one instead.

NSF Q&S highlighting response to question "Are you still funding research on misinformation?". RESPONSE: NSF will not support research with the goal of combating "misinformation" "disinformation" or "malinformation" that could be used to infringe on the constitutionally protected speech rights of American citizens across the US

The NSF discontinuing “misinformation” research b/c it threatens free speech is laughable. 9/

Still waiting for a reimbursement from a US University that invited me there to give a talk last August. My advice: do not ever pay the travel expenses yourself when invited and promised reimbursement.

Me to my lab members: "No need to stress about your Lab Meeting presentation. Just show us where you are at in your project". Also me: *spending 8 hours to prepare my own lab meeting presentation and getting nervous about it*.

Today I have spoiled myself with reading just single review paper all day, taking pauses to think. Luxury!

Pictures of two dichogamy morphs in Pterocarya trees, a graph visualizing flower dimorphism, and a phylogeny of the Juglandaceae family showing divergence times and origins of genetic systems for heterodichogamy.

I'm excited to share our new preprint on the molecular evolution of heterodichogamy in two wingnut genera of Juglandaceae. Heterodichogamy features two morphs synchronously alternating male and female flowering phases in time to generate disassortative mating.

The Oxford Nanopore Technologies stock performance on the GBX exchange, showing a strong downward trend.

The newer sequencing tech, Oxford Nanopore, is traded on the London exchange as part of the FTSE 250, and it is likewise having a rough day, down 10% today so far, 42% since Trump took office.

These tools are how we genotype cancer, flu, measles, etc., by the way.

It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.

I do not talk about politics a lot here. But the way Trump and Vance talked to Zelenskyi is the most disgusting thing I have seen for a long time. So sad, we are not able to really stand up for Ukraine. We could do so much more.

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

Watched meeting between Trump and Zelensky and all I can say is that I have never ever seen something like that. IMO, disrespectful were Trump and Vance, not Zelensky. And not only to the US but to Ukraine and Europe as well.

seriously, how did nobody question (from the ethics review stage to publication) this 🔽 research using and abusing rats! #AnimalEthics #AnimalWelfare

A few warm days stimulate early-flowering trees. This hazel alder, Alnus serrulata, has opened long yellow catkins - male inflorescences - to release pollen to the wind. The red female inflorescence opens a bit later on an individual tree to minimize self-pollination. Are you seeing tree flowers?

Uutena ominaisuutena Notebook LM:ssä on interaktiivinen keskustelu artikkelista. Tätä uskalsin kokeilla, mutta olin niin järkyttynyt, kun ne alkoi puhumaan mulle, että laitoin äkkiä välilehden vaan kiinni ja menin piiloon.

Tutkijat hei! Miten käytettä tekoälyänne työssänne vai käytättekö lainkaan?
Kysymystä sopii jakaa.

NotebookLM:ää käytän lukemisen ja tieteellisen toimitustyön tukena. Ennen käsikirjoituksen lukemista saatan kuunnella "pocastin" ja lukea tiivistelmän. Se auttaa hahmottamaan kokonaisuuden ja kontekstin. Luennoille joskus harvoin teen sopivia, hassujakin kuvituskuvia ihan vaan dioja piristämään.

That used to work for me too, but Exchange became partly incompatible some weeks ago. Removing and adding the account did not solve the issue.

Not all is well in the academic system, but one thing that continues to surprise positively is the improving research assessment here. New guidelines take a stronger stance still & explicitly forbid even mentioning IF in CVs, applications etc

People that use Mac, and have to deal with exchange/outlook and google calendars! Is there a solution, where only one calendar application would allow you to see, sync, invite and RSVP all accounts? The multiple calendar sync issues ruin my life and mental health!
