Eine Arbeit meiner Gruppe gemeinsam mit anderen exzellenten Leuten aus Hamburg wurde heute zur Veröffentlichung angenommen! Cheers!

When Maria Reva announced her new book ENDLING, there were so many similarities to my ENDLING that people accused her of copying. But: We were just independently inspired by an article by @edyong209.bsky.social, which is absolutely mindblowing and very cool. She, Ed Yong & I talked about it:

🚨 Preprint Alert! New work from the group! 🟤 We set out to explore how brown adipose tissue (BAT) adapts to cold. 🧬🖥️ Using single-nucleus mRNA-sequencing, we dissected murine BAT and uncovered distinct adipocyte subtypes. 🫓 One in particular stood out... 🧵 1/7

Welcome to the Hamburg-North Swingers' Club meeting! Agenda item number one: it's time to get it on! 😄 🌿

"This paper is dedicated to the memory of L. Shevtsova. A few days before the first submission of the paper, we received the sad news that L. Shevtsova was mortally wounded in a missile attack on Kyiv. She took an active part in research, whose results were partly used in our paper." 🇺🇦😔

I wrote about an idea to watch and borrowed a concept from systems theory: How LAM cells could mediate a hysteresis effect (i.e. memory) in adipose tissue during weight cycling. doi.org/10.1002/bies... 🧪

And now for the 'story behind the paper'! communities.springernature.com/posts/unlock...

In @nature.com we show that humans lived in rainforests ~150,000 years ago – over double the previous oldest estimate. Their presence in West Africa’s rainforests demonstrates the spread of early humans and places ecological diversity at the heart of our species. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

After the terrible but expected election results here in Germany yesterday, I went outside to find some strength and hope in the slowly awakening nature. 🌿

@friel.bsky.social hey, can you add me to the naturalists feed again? I think my username change threw me out :)

I just love this forest so much 🥲🌿

I had the sweetest dream last night. I was driving on the LIE and there was Donald Trump in a red jumpsuit, picking up trash beside the highway.

Again “Elon Musk’s team” is literally just some guys. They’re not government officials and no one elected them and no congressional committee approved them. This is a smash and grab, out in the open.

I sometimes think when Earth only had plants, fungi, a few sponges and other cnidarians, evolution should have said: “Yeah, that looks fine.” And that’s it.

true fact: if you draw bugs for a living, you won't get replaced anytime soon

We CT scanned thousands of vertebrates from US natural history collections and made them freely available. Countless people have used the data for research (>200 pubs) and to learn anatomy/morphology. www.morphosource.org/projects/000...

🧠 Did you know that fasting triggers neuro-immune crosstalk to regulate glucose metabolism? 🍭 Neurons signal to innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) to migrate from the gut to the pancreas, where they promote glucagon secretion and glucose homeostasis. via @natrevimmunol.bsky.social 🧵 1/4

Trump's flood of executive orders is effective: instead of igniting a single fire that everyone joins forces to fight, he sets the whole city on fire. The flames spread so quickly that no one has the strength or time to organize against them; everything is suffocated.

I didn't have Trump cancelling men on my bingo, but well. What happened? -> Trump's new executive order defines ‘sex’ exclusively as m or f, based on an ‘immutable biological classification’ AT CONCEPTION (!!!). 👀 bsky.app/profile/char...

Essentially all inhabited places on the planet were warmer in 2024 than the recent baseline. Most of the ocean area too. About 1/3 of the planet experienced record high temperatures. We know why. And we know how to fix it. @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social climate.copernicus.eu/global-clima...

Horrible, horrible read. Beyond disgusting. (Not because of the journalism, which is great, but because of the content. .... My god. It's so much worse than I expected, and I expected bad things)

The Texas prickly pears are blooming! Texas pricklies are a variety of Engelmann’s prickly named after our Father of Texas Botany, Ferdinand Jacob Lindheimer. Flowers vary from yellow to orange to ruby red! Bloom time is spring-summer, and flower colors can vary widely on the same individual. 🌵🌿

Canadian MP Charlie Angus responded to Trump's proposal to make Canada the 51st U.S. state by noting that existing laws prevent "sexual abusers" from leading his nation.
