Cool. I will have to find the 2 source papers.

Kunde inte läsa artikeln på DN pga betalvägg men sökte och antar att jag hittade källan. Konceptuellt kul studie. På tok för mycket myter och just-so stories, så bra när det angrips experimentellt i gränslandet social- och naturvetenskap. www.dn.se/sverige/ny-s... papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Great review on The Genetics of Human Handedness: Microtubules and Beyond www.cell.com/trends/genet... - handedness is such an interesting phenotype!

It’s pretty impressive that the NB8 - a group of small European countries - is now coordinating with G7

🧪 Very cool. I have been playing with ABA biosensors in animal cells, I was going to do IAA sensors (both TIR1 based and AhR based). Maybe SA too? SALICYLIC ACID SENSOR1 reveals the propagation of an SA hormone surge during plant pathogen advance | Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Tantsnusk är ju en utmärkt beskrivning av genren, och väletablerad. Kommer ihåg att jag läste hela serien Grottbjörnens Folk som 10-12 åring (ca 1989) helt enkelt för jag gillade stenåldern, och fröken kallade det tantsnusk. Jag håller med men ser inget negativt med det. www.dn.se/insandare/av...

Intressant. Mina barn är tvåspråkiga men jag har inte märkt någon domänbunden preferens. Vi gjorde OPOL (one parent one language) och nederländska/svenska är kanske för nära varandra för att det skall bli så som beskrivs här för franska/svenska. www.dn.se/varlden/sigr...

I wish more people got this. Science is inefficient. I'd say probably say inherently inefficient. I know we all want to hurry up and make the world a better place with those tax dollars, but I believe the harder we try to rush things, the less effective we will be in the long run.

4 Fungi We've Finally Figured Out How To Farm ino.to/VmCZLpQ I just thought of something: It could be quite interesting to identify the pathways giving various fungi their flavor and express them in yeast. Imagine: Chantarelle- or Truffels- flavored yeast as flavoring.

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal - Periclinal ino.to/2OrAiaf Well, technically a simple grafted plant is a chimera so you don't even have to go for the fancy stuff.

Wild chimpanzees consume ~4.5 kg fruit containing ~14 g ethanol every day, the equivalent of 1-2 standard drinks daily. Both human and chimp alcohol metabolism evolved as an adaptation to eat fruit without being too intoxicated. 🧪 #vetmed www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

'How to be a scientist in a post-journal world' @pracheeac.bsky.social & @mbeisen.bsky.social beautifully explain how a post-Journal world would look, work, & why it would indeed be a better world. 👍 #ScientificPublishing #SciPub #AcademicPublishing #Preprints #OpenScience

“Ukraine is still often incorrectly portrayed as a country occupying a geopolitical buffer zone between East and West. This is familiar to Finns, whose own country was condemned to similar geopolitical limbo during the Cold War.” By @alanderminna.bsky.social: www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrain...

www.dn.se/ledare/cecil... Det är en demokratisk nödvändighet. Befolkningen är i huvudsak center-vänster eller center-höger men med blockpolitiken blir valet mellan vilka ytterlighetspartier man skall regera med istället för att skaffa majoritet i mitten. Tyskland lyckas ju med SPD+CDU

Det är intressant hur urbanism (gåbar, 15-minuters stad, bort med bilar) ofta är vänsterkodat medan "arkitekturupproret" är högerkodat — men de önskar samma sak. Själv kan jag uppskatta många "moderna" stilar men ser gärna ny syntes som är varmare och mänskligare. youtu.be/TVYo_SfF1xw?...

Den senaste tiden har jag inte sett flaggor alls på Bluesky bara typ "SE", "EU" etc... Är det ett lokalt problem (samma problem på telefon och dator, men kan t.ex. vara relaterat till att jag använder noto-font på båda) eller något de ändrat på? Någon som vet van man kan göra för att fixa?

“Historically, no one lived past age 35” "I’ve heard *so* many versions of this claim, including recently from a menopause doctor (implying menopause is not “natural” because noone lived long enough to go through it). Every time someone states this “fact,” a demographer loses a piece of their soul"

I love this. I often try to include some speculation in the Discussion section but you always have to be careful and remain very close to what has been shown. I would love a section that is clearly labelled speculation where one can "go wild" in wider interpretations of the results.

Wish journals allowed you more freedom to speculate about the meaning and implications of your data? We introduced an ‘Ideas and Speculation’ section in our articles giving authors space to do just that 💡 Find out more: buff.ly/0I8lpwz

I just found this neat little tool sequenceconversion.bugaco.com/converter/bi... I hate closed proprietary formats and when it comes to sequence info, genbank (which is plain text) is perfectly fine. I use the open source UGene and always get annoyed when I get vector maps in closed formats.
