Meet the PyShell!🥧🐚 Diatom pyrenoids fix up to 20% of the Earth's #CO2🌏. We discovered that their Rubisco is encased in a tight protein lattice that is essential for efficient carbon fixation and cell growth🌱 Super excited to share our new preprint📜: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

SkySails passed all test poised to revolutionize renewables. Wind turns baseload power operating non-stop 24/24-7/7. Material input is 5% of traditional windmills. Time between decision and implementations is months not years. Competes head on with nuclear

It is remarkable that these kind of fire conditions are being observed in early March in far Northern California (Shasta County)--typically the wettest time of year in one of the wettest parts of the state. #CAwx #CAfire

Is there a genome where Programmed Ribosome #Frameshifting occurs for all genes? — Yep But up to 10 frameshifts/gene? — Why not And has any genome dropped an amino acid entirely (20 down to 19)? — Sure thing Endosymbionts in parasites, as twisted as ever! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Our paper on the evolution of tusklessness in African elephants is finally out! Human-mediated selection can have some very strange an surprising consequences... science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Ivory poaching and the rapid evolution of tusklessness in African elephants

Intensive ivory poaching during a period of civil conflict caused the rapid evolution of tusklessness in an African elephant population.

"Expecting a team of disciplinary scientists to develop a new field is like sending a team of monolingual diplomats to the United Nations." Great reminder that scientific revolutions have been precipitated by people with multi-disciplinary expertise - not teams of specialists

I really like this perspective, curious to know what others think. "Focusing on interdisciplinary teams instead of interdisciplinary people reinforces standard disciplinary boundaries rather than breaking them down." journals.plos.org/ploscompbi…

Today is #WorldAlgaeDay! A chance to take a look at the beautiful organisms that support almost all life on this blue planet. We track & record changes in #phytoplankton across ocean basins to understand how ocean health is changing in response to things like climate change.

Today is #InternationalWomensDay and we recognise that women are still far from equal to men in today’s societies. We can not have climate justice without gender equity. And remember; what we women want today - and every day- is equality, not congratulations or celebrations.
