From 2019: Jeffrey Epstein liked to describe himself as a “science philanthropist,” and academics liked to take his money. As more of Epstein’s enablers are uncovered, it’s worth asking why it was so easy for him to infiltrate science in the first place. Read more from

Another key finding of our work is that nervous systems may have became centralized EARLIER than previously assumed 🤩. We found that the ctenophore aboral organ is tightly associated with a condensed SYNCYTIAL nerve net. See below: comparison of regular vs. condensed nerve net.

! Why is this pretty little fruit fly (family Tephritidae) blowing bubbles? Does it just like playing with its food? No, it's concentrating the nectar by sucking the droplet in and out to evaporate some of the water. Lots of nectar-feeding flies and bees do this. 🐙🌿📷

As the world of science wakes up to modern fascism, it's worth remembering older generations who stood up for humanity in much harsher circumstances. Jacques Monod worked actively for the resistance in WWII, while pursuing early stages of his research in occupied Paris.
