Just out in PNAS! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... "The evolution of thermal performance curves in response to rising temperatures across the model genus yeast". Beautiful work using experimental evolution forecasting climate impacts on biodiversity by Jennifer Molinet @jennifermolinet.bsky.social

The Mineta Institute developed the Level of Traffic Stress classification that is the foundation of my cycling research. Their ongoing work to improve and update LTS has been derailed by this defunding. Tragic, regressive, unnecessary waste. www.transportation.gov/briefing-roo...

Boston bike friends and history buffs: Join me and @malaclypse.bsky.social on Saturday, May 24, for the Fuck Cotton Mather ride! The ride will visit churches involved in the 1692 witchcraft scare, all of which are now adorned with rainbow flags and messages of inclusivity. More details below!

This is the hardest I’ve ever been owned online

This is most Menards thing I’ve ever seen

Having lived in California for many years, I always enjoyed seeing lupine on my hikes. Here in Switzerland, however, it is invasive, negatively impacting native alpine plant species. I created this painting to help #scicomm for a Swiss #ecology research group. #sciart #invasiveplants

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants. Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

I haven't worked at a company selling stuff like lightbulbs before but I worked at a place with .cn manufacturing and this sounds pretty likely I have a feeling it'll be short, sharp, and prioritize inputs over consumer stuff, so the summer will make people mad but companies will get what they need

very clear that official policy of the united states right now is to accept any white person abroad who claims asylum status

First thesis chapter by Elli Cryan, co-advised with @jrossibarra.bsky.social. Beyond blurring my concept of barriers, my favorite ?coming from this is - How can a gene with a premature stop codon keep its coding sequence intact for a long time?

The first Chinese goods subject to President Trump’s 145%-plus tariffs have begun. 12,000 shipping containers in all are on the first flotilla of freight vessels from China with goods for Amazon, Home Depot, Ikea, Ralph Lauren, Tractor Supply, Procter & Gamble, LG, and Samsung, among others.

Just looked up what malort is and you people are sick

at least some of what’s fueled “ai” is the assumption that anyone *should* be able to write professionally. It’s obviously not true, but the work seems easy when you don’t know what goes into it. It’s specific to writing—no one thinks it’s a problem that they’re not getting a tryout for the Mets!

"The solar boom is also driving a further wedge between Pakistan’s rich and poor, Amirali said. Solar is only available to those with deep enough pockets and “everybody else is still stuck on the extremely expensive...fossil fuel-based grid,” the researcher said." www.cnn.com/2025/05/01/c...

Welp, it begins. Sigma Aldrich.
