Организацията на Тракия е безумна. Има някакви часове, в които уж спират движението в посока София, но те не се спазват (както и продължителността). Ходенето на събития в София е почти невъзможно в момента.

Oh, good. The Torment Nexus that already has people falling in love with it, and making them lose their minds, will now also get them horny. What could go wrong.

Fantastical flowers, synthetic biology, and storytelling. Giving an accessible science talk tomorrow at 10:40 UK time... come join! Register here for the link 👉 jic.link/NBIAST2025

Very excited to see our @nikogeldner.bsky.social lab x Feng Zhou lab work featured on the cover of Science! (1/5) We reveal how root architecture and nutrient leakage shape spatial patterns of microbial colonization, moving beyond traditional models of uniform exudation.

A tiny white-petalled weed beloved of plant biologists has received a CRISPR-fueled makeover, turning it into a supersized ruby-colored bloom www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Meet "Little Flower". A genetically engineered flower, frozen in time and blown up over 150X. Here's the story (1/6 🧵)

като не мога да намеря някоя стара песен в нета, ми се струва, че трябва да съм я сънувала. някой сеща ли се за един канон, пееше се "есен, тиха есен, чувам твойта тъжна песен, чувам аз твойта тъжна песен"? имаше и "грей в ползата" за гората

They even consume it, the freeloaders they are...

For context that's a third the price the RIAA expected a single human to pay for just downloading 24 songs a decade ago (after cutting the ruling down from $1.5m, or $62,000 per song), and that's not adjusting for inflation:

Крайно време е да забранят ходенето пеша. Всеки в кола, за да има ред

Having done this a few days ago - sigh.

На зелен пешеходен светофар, с коли които правят ляв завой, ми спря буквално последната кола. Въпреки, че им махах възмутено. Въпреки, че бутах колело и бях с шарен велосипеден екип (доста съм видим). Туй то. Див Пловдив.

Oh yeah things are falling apart. You've got paranoid guys on Blind freaking out now

The original circos plot? From the 1947-1948 Carnegie Yearbook, the page prior to McClintock's Mutable Loci in Maize paper.

Ah, yes, my plain text emails from 10 years ago are the problem, not the "AI" bullshit that wants its own nuclear powerplants. Of course.

The Voice of Fate would like to remind you that access to Wikipedia is prohibited and offenders will be swiftly prosecuted.

It's almost 22:00, and outside it's still 34.5 °C. I'm wondering if picking up KSR's The Ministry for the Future a few weeks back was a proper choice.

The grift that keeps on giving.

This is SPICY! I love it.

Hating on “Big Pharma”? Cool, it’s a $1.6 trillion regulated industry. But hang on…the $6.3 trillion wellness industry sells you mushroom tea, dewormers, crash diets, and alkaline water—no regulations, no oversight. But hey, it’s ‘natural,’ right?

Current methods for profiling #HistoneModifications require cell isolation & don't work with all tissue types. @jellevda.bsky.social &co adapt Targeted DamID (TaDa) to profile cell-type-specific #histone marks throughout the genome, in vivo, without cell isolation 🧪 @plosbiology.org plos.io/3Dw8sUD

Following up on my Lysenkoism post (bsky.app/profile/soms...), here’s another Russian plant biologist worth knowing: Have a look at this thread on 𝗠𝗶𝗸𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗞𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗸𝗵𝘆𝗮𝗻 (1902–1991), who proposed the existence of a mobile, leaf-derived flowering factor, long before FT. #PlantScience 🧵 👇

A lot of people are pointing out how this is a factually wrong cover in a scientific sense but I’ll go you one step further: fuck this stupid wolf. Kiss my ass Remus you piece of shit

But when a 20-something kid does it, he has the book thrown at him, forcing him to end his life. Cool.

If it walls like a duck, and it quacks like a duck: - it can be likened to a duck - it denies that it's a duck, but a mere waterfowl - we should discuss if it could be a duck - you see ducks everywhere - not everything you dislike is a duck

time to highlight my favorite christmas gift of all time from last year

The beauty of Arabidopsis lies in the depth of knowledge we’ve gained from it- a collective achievement of thousands of scientists 🔬 These flowers showcase that knowledge and the power of biotechnology 💚

Given what the fuckers did to Aaron Swartz, their business dying is the least they deserve. Greedy bastards

Будиш се, блокираш двама-трима и отиваш да разхождаш кучето

"Ама виж Иван колко високи оценки има. И ризата си загащва както трябва!"

Като учен (който работи близо до земеделието, хех), мога да кажа само - fuck that noise...

While most of the times I get an itch for Jethro I reach for Thick as a Brick, this one is splendid as well.

Dear universe, please let me stumble onto something interesting.

Tobamoviruses: REALLY stable!

In one year, I genetically engineered the boring Arabidopsis into a beautiful ornamental flower 🧬🌹 Here is how and why I gave this model organism a visual upgrade 🧵(1/7)

Come with me as I troubleshoot this very high GC PCR toward clonable homology arms in an actinobacteria. Testing DMSO, Betaine 1M, and Propylene Glycol to see if we get amplification. Arms are 1000bp. Full length with arms and gene is 2800bp. Let's go! 🧵 1/n

Поредна година змей, поредна година - предложение за Съвсем не толкова грозна празнична картичка™. (още позната като не-баш-коледна картичка) 💌 Ако я искате - дайте мейл в тая форма ➡️ forms.gle/CixJFRaffnTr...

Reach for little lights

От стрес съм прекалено емоционален, но благодарих за картичка, която получих, поревах малко и сега съм на вълна ИСКАМ ДА ПРАЩАМ ПИСМА

Изпитите са fucking torture и не трябва да съществуват след определена научна степен. Leave me alone, достатъчно изтрещял съм от депресия, състояние на света и като цяло опити да функционирам.
