How does the #DarwinCore standard tackle data fragmentation and foster knowledge sharing? Our 2024 workshop explored these challenges and showcased solutions like ontologies, open repositories, and much more! Rewatch:

@ec.europa.eu published the report 'A European Framework for #ScienceDiplomacy', bringing together insights from 130 scientists and diplomats across Europe. I'm thankful for the opp. to contribute as Expert & Rapporteur & look forward to seeing how our collective recomms guide the next steps. 1/2

This beautiful ‘network’ mosaic glass bowl looks modern, yet it’s about 2,250 years old! Made using a technique in which thin threads of twisted glass were spiralled over a convex mould. A wonderful example of the skill of ancient glassmakers! Landesmuseum Württemberg, Stuttgart 📷 me #Archaeology

Using Bacillus subtilis as a model organism, this #JBacteriology review describes the signal transduction pathway & events leading to spore germination, incorporating the latest findings on transcription and translation likely detected during germination. asm.social/2g2

Every synthetic biologist, every biochemist, when they dream, will sometimes hear a voice calling A whisper on the wind, as impossible as infinity, as sweet as the ambrosia of the very Gods "...engineer RuBisCo..." And this paper takes us one step closer www.nature.com/articles/s41...

JB Editor's Choice: Ramírez-Guadiana, Rudner et al. perform a genetic screen to identify spore germination genes. Their data support a model whereby GerY, GerT, and the GerP play a role in the transit of nutrients across the spore coat. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/... @asm.org #JBacteriology

Tired of fake follows? There’s some very helpful recommendations in the replies here. I carefully checked out the available lists and subscribed to a few that seemed most well curated and hyper-focused. Since then, I’ve noticed a >80% reduction in the number of bot accounts following me. 🎉

'Many of these precocious authors publish what the analysis calls an ‘extreme’ number of papers — an average of more than one per week. The analysis also found that these authors often cite their own papers at a rate well above the average.' www.nature.com/articles/d41...
