"Teaching of genetics tends to begin with Mendelian traits, presumably because they are deemed easier to understand. This introduces misperceptions about genetic determinism, encouraging linear perspectives on genotype-phenotype relations." A call to embrace complexity by @philipcball.bsky.social.🧪

Bravo @plos.org! US exec orders "stand in direct conflict with our core values, our mission, edit policies" "PLOS will not compromise on issues of scientific rigor & editorial integrity... we seek diversity because more expert voices make for better science" theplosblog.plos.org/2025/02/plos...

it's actually kind of crazy that influenza-specific IgG occupies such an insane portion of our IgG memory B cells and yet it's still such a problem www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Three years after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, a hundred miles from Moscow we ask Russians about three years of war and whether they believe Donald Trump will help to end it. Producer @bentavener.bsky.social

Attention, Great Britain! Russian propagandists: "How much I hate and despise the British. God grant that we finally give them such a shot that they forget about meddling in our affairs for centuries to come. They will have to answer for Paul I, Rasputin."

Overigens we hebben dus zeker een direct drukmiddel: we kopen geen wapens meer uit de VS. Kijken hoe de wapenlobby in de VS dat gaat vinden. Die worden dan heel snel minder MAGA tolerant.

If anyone had any doubt left that Brexit was a Russian victory:

We need to listen to this terrible insight from Georgia in order to prevent future disaster and war in Europe. This is essentially what is happening in Ukraine. The same thing that is happening in Georgia. We need to back both brave Georgian and Ukrainian citizens.

I will never understand how this wasn’t the end for either of these deranged brats. Every milquetoast brownnoser who elevated or defended them hoping for a crumb from their unearned power should be ashamed. You knew. The evidence was right there. But you liked standing near the big boys.

Brussel today.

Na de Trump-Poetin deal (Jalta 2.0) hoeft dat natuurlijk niet automatisch in een direct conflict te resulteren. Er bestaat voor Poetin natuurlijk ook een hybride manier om tot hetzelfde resultaat te komen. - Verkiezingen in OekraĂŻne, en er komt een pro-Russische puppet.

I reported this artwork to the editors of this Spandidos journal in September 2017, but it took the publisher MORE THAN SEVEN YEARS to retract this paper. This is what I call a 5-second retraction. #ImageForensics HT: @smutclyde.bsky.social pubpeer.com/publications...

Trump wants to land-grab in Ukraine— — just like Greenland, Gaza, Canada, Panama. He wants to grab other people’s land and natural resources all under the guise of “protection” and “development” of “the west” under his care. It’s pure mafia imperialism.

WOW! Trump just blamed Ukraine for starting the war with Putin. He literally slammed Zelensky about the war saying: "You should have never started it." This is straight up Kremlin talking points and propoganda. Trump is a Russian asset and a TRAITOR to the USA. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Ik zou Trumps dreigementen over Groenland, Canada en Mexico van een paar weken terug uiterst serieus nemen. Dat Trump in de onderhandelingen met Poetin er niets voor terugkrijgt, lijkt te suggereren dat het om veel meer dan enkel OekraĂŻne gaat.

Britain needs lorry drivers – we’re told. The government simplified the training process (now even an inexperienced car driver can go straight to driving 44 tonne articulated vehicles)... ...However, is it potentially addressing the issue from the wrong end?

Friends, May we never forget that while negotiations,statements, addresses and the rest of the (undoubtedly important) diplomacy track are happening,exhausted #Ukrainian men &women in military uniform are holding back evil on the frontlines. Without them,there would be no diplomacy track at all.

Vóór de verkiezingen de mond vol hebben van bestaanszekerheid. En dan nu keihard willen bezuinigen op mensen die al ‘stapels problemen’ hebben. Terecht doet het SCP een klemmend beroep op het kabinet: bezuinig niet verder op gemeenten! nos.nl/l/2556298

There is a reason why Trump is attacking Zelenskiy: Putin wants him to do so. The Kremlin needs a puppet regime in Kyiv which is going to accept the full capitulation of Ukraine. Nothing else will satisfy that Prednison dwarf from Moscow

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

If we, Europeans, fail to spend big on defence now, we will be forced to spend 10 times more if we don’t prevent a wider war. As the Polish PM I’m entitled to say it loud and clear, since Poland already spends almost 5% of its GDP on defence. And we will continue to do so.
