🦢 Animal #575 🦟 I figured it out in 10 guesses! 🟥🟥🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 🔥 2 | Avg. Guesses: 13.3 metazooa.com #metazooa

A second round and just a few extra cycles in the PCR managed to amplify DNA in two of my sheep samples that looked conspiciously empty.

Your outie once knew Almgren’s typology of Early Iron Age fibulae by heart.

Tre år gammel er ingen alder at begynde sine første geografi-timer.

Min hustru har formået at bage det tætteste jeg er kommet på en jødekage siden jeg flyttede fra Vendsyssel. 7/5 oplevelse.

Jeg har altså svært ved at se Andreas Mogensen æde svampe og raide fremmede nationers månebaser.

Man kunne også bare, I ved, bruge sine forbandede øjne…?

“The model can accurately identify disease-causing mutations in human genes and is capable of designing new genomes that are as long as the genomes of simple bacteria.” 😳

#KæmpeRIP halvmaraton🪦 Til alle de lycraklædte mellemledere derude: I kan godt lægge hurtigløberbrillerne, jeres Fenix 8 pro, Camelbak'en og de smarte løbesko på hylderne. Sporten er død.

What do you do when you have a metric shit ton of undiagnostic faunal remains and you're on a tight budget? Put all the little boney stuff in a blender - or punch it consecutively with something hard 'till it turns to dust - then shoot it with the big DNA-cannon all at once.

“Land of the free”

This is not good, but I have to say that I am not surprised.

Man har sgu ikke sådan rigtigt slået sine folder på KUA hvis man ikke, ufrivilligt, har været et smut i kanalen.

To the #ZooMS and #palaeoproteomics people: did I at one point, very recently, see a paper on ZooMS-analysis of “empty” eppendorfs?

It may be a bit "inside baseball," but I'm wildly excited about the promise of palaeoproteomics -- not quite as much info as DNA, but can give us info from millions of years ago. This new paper out today shows they were able to figure out biological sex of an A. africanus specimen (2-3.5myo). 🏺🧪

Kom så, Fløjtehans! Blæs mig et stykke!
