A paper in Nature suggests that the Australian Bogong moth may be the first invertebrate known to be able to use the stars to navigate. Experiments in flight simulators indicate that the insects use stellar cues to help them fly in the right direction. go.nature.com/3ZEaDgG 🧪

#ColossalBio, the company that makes fun living paleoart but pretends it's de-extinction (e.g. pretending a lightly gene-edited grey wolf is a dire wolf), is now using cheap intimidation tactics to try to silence critics. Humiliating for Colossal. They should fire whatever lawyer sold them on this.

My friend and colleague Remco Heesen once told me study of social epistemology of science made him "less trusting of any particular scientific paper but more impressed by science as a whole." I honestly think that's the right lesson to draw. But I think holding both attitudes doesn't come naturally.

1. NEW At least 11 major companies are moving away from doing business with the law firms that caved and signed deals with Trump. Even though some of these companies are led by executives who support Trump, they do not feel comfortable having a law firm that caved to threats representing them.

I urge everyone to read Unbreaking’s new page on everything the govt is doing to destroy & diminish medical research funding. It’s the best thing I’ve read on this topic: @lizneeley.bsky.social & co have such done an incredible job. unbreaking.org/issues/medic...

The USA has, or alas maybe soon "had", the greatest research infrastructure in the world. Unambiguously as a country it has driven progress in knowledge in a way that basically nowhere else in history ever has. Its a global tragedy for it to self-euthanise that system. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Did you know that on Android phones, you can put a widget on your lock screen to show you the current phase of the moon? I don't know why, but that makes me feel so cozy. 😌

Pleased to see our paper out on modelling how host-parasite coevolution might play out if the host can itself simultaneously evolve constitutive and induced defences. This project came out of a side conversation during my Fulbright scholarship (y'know, back when those weren't being slashed...)

Congress has passed the NDAA, which contained a provision banning the coverage of gender affirming care for the children of active duty military. This is the first anti-LGBTQ bill to pass congress in almost 3 decades but certainly won't be the last. This will be Biden's legacy.

I saw this earlier but it was from someone who didn’t link to the opinion so I didn’t share it. Anyway, this is important.

More than 75 Nobel Prize winners signed a letter urging senators not to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a cabinet choice. nyti.ms/41uQueD
