I call for the end of charlatan in positions of power.
NASA’s acting chief calls for the end of Earth science at the space agency arstechnica.com/space/2025/0...
NASA’s charter clearly states the agency should study planet Earth, however.
A wealth tax is doable, popular, and doesn't "scare off investment" if you don't govern based solely on the behest of your donors
One thing I wish governments would learn is to learn from others www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Amid calls for Rachel Reeves to bring in a new levy for the super-rich, Madrid offers lessons for policymakers
Huh. I don't remember the federal government asking me what flavor of "white" I am before. This list of what are I think meant to be ethnicities also seems really arbitrary, and doesn't map out onto ethnicities per se. (This is for an NSF annual personnel report for a graduate training program.)
PS: great to see parallels between leaves and wings 🥬🪽😃
Sorry if your already knew this, but in leaves, growth can come from more or larger cells, and in some mutants, one can compensate for the other pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16284709/
Size is an important parameter in the characterization of organ morphology and function. To understand the mechanisms that control leaf size, we previously isolated a number of Arabidopsis thaliana mu...
Hang in there!
Hard times in Argentina to be a scientist right now. In this context, this essay 👇🏼 made me smile reminding me of my call and feeling a bit better 🌱
"why [would] anyone intelligent enough to be a scientist choose to be one [given] the unfavorable risk-to-reward ratio "?
One of the most intelligent people you could meet offers some answers: having ideas, watching them develop, and sharing them journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...
It is difficult to fathom why anyone intelligent enough to be a scientist would actually choose to be one. Doing good science requires the utmost exertion of body, mind and spirit, yet is consistently...

'Hoods are out!!! Big thank you to @plantevolution.bsky.social for the support throughout. Luisa, @kdm9.bsky.social , @aconga.bsky.social , @hajkdrost.bsky.social it was intellectually stimulating ride with you, so congratulations!!!! #diversity #NLR #immune #pan-genome #graphs #networktheory
Happy to be able to finally share our NLR pangenome paper, out now in CHM.
