The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

Juli Zeh erklärt wieder, dass ihre Nachbarn keine Rechtsextremen sind. Und dass ist halt mal wieder vollkommen vorbei am Thema. Es ist nämlich total egal, ob die rechtsextrem sind oder nicht oder ob sie eigentlich die Demokratie gut finden, wenn sie mehrheitlich (51,x%) eine Partei wählen, die 1/7

Every time I use Apple‘s shopping list and see in which category some items are filed I completely lose any fear of AI

Good morning, Tübingen. After all these years it still feels like home. Thanks for having me @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social

🤫Registration for #MBP2026 will start very soon. Please tell all your friends 🌱.

This is not an insult or #plantblindness- this is just idiotic.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

It’s official. Today I was appointed as full professor for Plant Physiology at the University of Würzburg. Looking forward to the challenge and many interactions.

As America nears a tipping point, Russell Vought desires a radical rightwing “counter-revolution.”   For @zeit.de, I wrote a profile of one of Trumpism’s key figures – and one of Trump’s most dangerous henchmen.   Some thoughts from the piece (since it is in German):

Education is the enemy of fascism.

New Zealand had some of the most restrictive laws when it came to genetically engineered food crops. This move once again demonstrates how the NZ Government makes Science-based decisions. Take note, European Union! #PlantGMOs #PlantNGTs #PlantScience #Agroculture #Sustainability #PlantBreeding

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Out today in @nature.com: Together with the Honigmann, Shevchenko, Drobot and Hof labs, we present a general workflow for imaging the localization and transport of individual lipids in cells and mapping their metabolism. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Best thing is to come back from ⛰️vacation☀️ to find a manuscript has metamorphosed into a published paper, so.. 🚀 Check out our paper on hormone import⏬ into plant cells in @natplants.nature.com 🌱👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Plant Science Research Weekly -- PIN auxin transporters facilitate polar transport of synthetic phenoxyacetic acid herbicides (Nature Plants) @lukas-schulz.bsky.social‬ @uhammes.bsky.social‬ @bjornppedersen.bsky.social‬ (Summary by Jerry González Cantoral @phytojerry.bsky.social)

The singularity is awesome

I wonder if they will sue me next if I don‘t submit a paper on a topic I have no expertise and interest in…

Highly recommended.

This is a mindblowing and incredibly useful resource for plant science. This should be published in a journal. Editors and journals on Bluesky - here’s an opportunity. Pretty much every one here can tell you that this is awesome. So in principle it’s already peer reviewed. Go for it!

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

who's on what platform, 2025 edition

Mike spotted this before the rest of us. 🫡 Publications from 2025 are shared more on Bluesky than on X/Twitter.

Schon einigermaßen beleidigt, die CSUler… beim Austeilen groß. Beim Einstecken eher mimimimi… #Nockherberg.

As we can expect PubMed dysfunction more and more or to be swamped with fake journals I suggest you get acquainted to this nice alternative: europepmc.org

A mechanism for ethylene-induced suppression of AM. Congrats to all - particularly Debatosh and Caro.

Nein! Und können wir jetzt bitte aufhören dieser destruktiven Narzisstin eine Bühne zu bieten?

Höhere Wahlbeteiligung klingt schon mal nicht schlecht.

Just to be erring on the safe side, us Europeans should operate under the assumption that this, now, actually is the worst case.

At this point it all feels like a game of „Civilization“. Version IV.

This is a good if terrifying summary of Trump’s war on science www.science.org/content/blog...

Do you know Daisy Roulland-Dussoix? She is one of the discoverers of restriction enzymes, who’s findings paved the way for the development of recombinant DNA and cloning technologies. Accordingly, the finding was rewarded with a #NobelPrize. But the prize didn’t go to her. 🧵👇
