No one alive will experience a better climate than today. But young people will experience a much more dangerous and chaotic world in the future, and the extent to which that happens will depend on our choices today. Trump doesn't care because he's old and a sociopath. www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/s...

Tell me you’re insecure without telling me you’re insecure. You. Can’t. Erase. Us. Dude. Take pictures down. Burn books. Ban knowledge. We’ll continue doing meticulous science. You can’t erase curiosity, our integrity, our drive for knowledge & excellence. It’s our nature -not yours, we know.

Should I stay or should I go?! New study by the Baier Lab shows that in cichlid fish mother and larvae follow their own intrinsic schedules during brood care. This leads to the larvae leaving their home shell exactly 9 days after fertilization. Find out more: www.bi.mpg.de/news/2025-01...
