Rittenhouse had a rifle which he brandished, Pretti had a pistol he kept holstered. Rittenhouse shot and killed two people while Pretti didn’t shoot anyone. For that, Rittenhouse became a cause celebre on the right, meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, speaking at TPUSA events, and raising big money.

The ass kissing of Trump by execs of Apple and Amazon and others coupled with ongoing silence from many in the tech and biotech and science areas about ICE and related evil activities is extremely disappointing.

Bill Kristol is making a clearer case for what Democrats can and should do in the minority than Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries ever has

Video before it happens is showing this guy they shot in the head in Minneapolis was just standing there videoing them before and they got out to push him back and then murder him.

I'd like to thank Slack for hiding configuration tools in : 1, the workspace name & its menus; 2, the gear icon next to the workspace name; 3, the Admin gear icon in the left navigation panel ; 4, the three horizontal lines on the top left (on a PC); 5, the question mark icon on the right.

Weird to recall what a bombshell Biden’s fumbling debate performance was and now it’s like, ah yes, the president is demented in public every week, what can you do?

Andrew Gelman: “I have a horrible feeling sometimes that heavily promoted crap research on space aliens, cold showers, mind-body healing…has softened the ground so that the seeds of more evil trees could then be planted and take root.”

Check out @ent3c.bsky.social and @sashagusevposts.bsky.social 's posts. Good stuff there My guess is there's a generation of evolutionary biologists who read David Houle and Derek Roff's work from the 80s and early 90s who look at h2 = 0.3, and are thinking "what did else did anyone expect?"

Treating emergent traits of the microbiome like quantitative genetic traits of the host reveals how environmentally acquired symbionts can contribute to hosts' adaptation

"Her wit was as sharp as her convictions, and her honesty was refreshing and rare." A wonderfully written (by @gbaucom.bsky.social) obituary for my grad school friend and Auburn University Prof. Vanessa Koelling, who passed away last week. www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/m...

Maybe Duke should spend less money on higher administration and a football coach who no longer works there... and use the money for basic research, including an herbarium. Some pretty shocking salaries on this list, including from people claiming the Uni lacks $. dukechronicle.com/article/duke...

I had such fun thinking, reading and writing this Tansley Review on #arbuscular #mycorrhizal #fungal mycelia. We need a more fungal-centric view to better understand not only the AM fungi, but also their many ecological roles. @newphyt.bsky.social 🔗 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/DHGB3S....

"The foundation for our current understanding of how phenotypic evolution operates in natural populations was laid by Lande (1976, 1979, 1982) and Lande & Arnold (1983)." 1. What a topic sentence from Vriend et al.: academic.oup.com/evolut/artic... 2. What a collection of papers in a 7 year span!

Congratulations to @jeffgroh.bsky.social on the publication of his paper on an ancient balanced polymorphisms controlling heterodichogamy in two genera of wingnuts. The paper shows the putative turnover & reversal of dominance of a mating type polymorphism www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

My only quibble is that @ent3c.bsky.social is far too kind when noting that twin studies "offer little insight." I think @sashagusevposts.bsky.social had it right when he wrote "twin heritability models can tell you whatever you want to hear."

Check out our new Tansley review on climate, plants, and microbes! I enjoyed working with a team of friendly and knowledgeable scientists. @meafkhami.bsky.social @kerricrawford.bsky.social @aclassen.bsky.social @johnstinchcombe.bsky.social @damianmicroeco.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/nph....

New paper by former MSc student @christeinecke.bsky.social! ⭐ A behemoth effort to apply artificial selection on clonal reproduction in #Mimulus guttatus. We show that clonality evolves quickly, but not symmetrically in both directions, and multivariate life history traits are altered too! 🧪🌾

Fun to synthesize some exciting future directions for spatiotemporal genomics in this Tansley perspective. Check er out!
