Our preprint on evolved formate assimilation by recent-grad Dr. Brittany Mazny. How is the CO2 intermediate retained to prime the Calvin cycle? The answer includes pigment production as an overlooked CO2 concentrating mechanism. w @blasarre.bsky.social + A Govindaraju www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The comms working at the NSF on X had this to say. Americans should know that for 75 years NSF has supported science and technology in the nation's service & helped to secure the national defense. Breaking it will have consequences for decades to come. We need an independent NSF now.

Many data sets held by NOAA are being "retired" in may, including datasets relevant to ocean sciences and climate. If you have need for these data, or are an archivist, it would be good to download this now. PLEASE SHARE WIDELY. www.nesdis.noaa.gov/about/docume...
