I love how delightfully diabolical evolution can be. A new article in Annual Review of Entomology is about the plant pathogens that are vectored between plants by herbivorous insects. These plant pathogens invade plant tissues and make plants sick. To get between plants they hitch a ride inside […]

Recommendation for everyone interested in the first-hand experience of, and critical reflections upon, moving from state socialism to capitalist liberalism. Tertium datur? "Free. Coming of Age at the End of History" by Lea Ypi #book #Books #bookstodon

Heute habe ich es gemacht - ich habe mir das Buch von @vicgrinberg über Schwarze Löcher bestellt bei der netten Buchhändlerin meines Vertrauens. Bin schon gespannt.

🎉 New paper accepted and now out on the arxiv: Early evidence for isotropic planetary obliquities in young super-Jupiter systems Michael Poon has been the lead on this! Michael constructs a hierarchical Bayesian model that combines all published exoplanet […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Seufz. Nächste Woche zwei Recherchetermine in #stuttgart, einen in S-Feuerbach, dann in S-Vaihingen. Der Stadtrand ist nur 40km von mir (Tübingen) entfernt. Das schreit nach ÖPNV. Aber: Es kostet mich über den Tag 2,5 zusätzliche Stunden, *kein* Auto zu nehmen. Irgendwas ist da kaputt.

Finally here! Two years after #nasa 's #OSIRIS-REx mission returned samples of #asteroid #bennu to Earth, we have now received 319 mg to study in our labs. We are hoping to determine Bennu’s isotopic composition and learn more about its “birthplace” in the Solar System. #osirisrex #asteroidbennu

Now in detailed Black and White: The #Trump administration is blackmailing other countries to actively destroy the environment at the behest of the US oil industry. There is no sugarcoating it. Evil seems a fitting adjective. #MännerDieDieWeltVerbrennen

For folks using an ipad pencil pro: whats's your favorite pencil case or grip? Especially if you use the pencil to draw. Also: is paperlike (as in: the brand paperlike) screen protectors still the to go thing for wanting a better, softer writing experience? Or do other provide the same […]

There is a first time for everything, but I could have lived without having to solve yet another bureaucracy crisis on phone/laptop and thus missing my train change 😑🤣🙄 (I'm fine, the two trains luckily overlap for a few stations, so now changing in Cologne instead of Düsseldorf...)

Saturday dinner - mussels in a roquefort sauce. We tried some when on vacantion in Northern France last year and partner, who is usually not even a mussel fan, fell in love with this particular sauce enough to learn to cook mussels himself (I'm the sous chef […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Und bei einem anderen hab ich die Mottenlöcher genadelfilzt (es waren nur drei Löcher, aber die Punkte wären dann etwas sehr verloren gewesen, deshalb hab ich ein paar mehr gefilzt. #visiblemending

A gentle reminder: much like tech support, moderation is most visible when something goes wrong. The vast majority of moderation work - unseen, unpaid, and often unacknowledged - quietly contributes to a safer, more welcoming experience for everyone. There is no justification for careless or […]

Love to make my very fancy "Vancouver kale salad" (inspired by a meal in Vancouver years ago): cavolo nero (or #kale) in big slices, dry-stir-fried 2 mins with walnuts (or pecans). Also slow-fry chickpeas (not too oily please). Then simply toss with dried cherries, a chopped date, a finely diced […]

So, noch'n ernstes Thema: #einsamkeit. Betrifft laut einer Studie der Bertelsmann-Stiftung rund ein Drittel der Menschen in #BadenWürttemberg. Interessanter Aspekt: Wer sich einsam fühlt, geht auch häufiger auf Distanz zur #demokratie. Anja Langness von der Bertelsmann-Stiftung hat das heute bei […]

I have this ongoing fascination with how modern some of the antique things look - here jewelry from old Egypt, from 3500 years ago, as seen yesterday in the lovely old Egypt exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities / Rijksmuseum van Oudheden / #RMO in #leiden.

Sind Zugvögel schuld an der Ausbreitung der #vogelgrippe? Entstanden ist das Virus in der #Massentierhaltung– und: „Die Epidemie wird ständig durch Ausbrüche in Ställen und beim Transport angeheizt“, sagt die Zoologin Diana Bell. „Wenn man so will, wird diese hochpathogene Variante vom Menschen […]

Zwar gibt es mehr Geld für eine 1:1-Betreuung, aber nicht das Umfeld, das 1:1-Betreuungen fördert. Der #hebammenhilfevertrag könnte dazu führen, dass noch mehr Hebammen ihren Beruf aufgeben. Die ohnehin schon prekäre Situation wird verschlimmert. Die 1:1-Betreuung wird unwahrscheinlicher. Denn […]

mich macht der großteil der berichterstattung zur #Vogelgrippe echt fertig. massentierhaltung als extrem relevanter faktor wird null benannt. man findet (fast immer) nur empathie für „die armen landwirte“. aber wenn zehntausende vögel eines hofs auf einen schlag getötet werden, dann wird keine […]

If you want to know what society-wide Ponzi schemes lead to, look at what happened to the former Soviet states after SU-collapse for an example. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I recommend reading Lea Ypi's "Free". Especially the final chapters, "Like the rest of Europe" and "1997" […]

I quite liked the juxtaposition of this copy of The Mathematicians' Library with another book, in Blackwell's yesterday. I spotted 4 copies altogether - that's the second-most I've seen together in the wild, outside my living room!
