Vielä 2023 alussa söin erittäin paljon lihaa, makkaraa, juustoa, rasvaisia ruokia

En itsekään ymmärtänyt miten paljon taustalla vaikuttivat lapsuus- ja nuoruusvuosilta jatkunut epävarmuus ja huono itsetunto, joita paikkasi toimimalla kuten miehiset miehet

Jee - kyllä kannatti luopua mm. kotimaisista elokuvista ja laadukkaista sotepalveluista.

If you know anyone interested in starting a Master's project working on ammonoid phylogenetics (or the phylogenetics of a mollusc group spanning the OAE2 event in the Late Cretaceous), then ask them to get in touch with me.

The situation is a little tricky, as it would be funded by the remainder…

The AI authorship issue is real. We've caught papers that looked OK but had references to works by the *journal editors* that *do not exist*. Like, don't send us papers citing papers we know we didn't write, right?

And did you know that today is ALSO International Vulture Awareness Day?

Black Vultures are a highly social species that often follows Turkey Vultures to carcasses. In flight, look for a short tail, flat-winged silhouette, and white wingtips.

Do you have a favorite vulture species or vulture fact?

#SciArtSeptember 4 - Riverbank

Many mammals across the world have evolved an otter-like body shape and lifestyle. Perhaps the oddest and one of the most obscure is the West African giant otter shrew (Potamogale velox).

Not an otter, not a shrew, but a distant cousin of elephants!

Katydid in the phlox..the sound of late Summer evenings is the singing of the katydids..they can be very loud, especially in a group where they synchronize their songs and bow their wings for more intense resonance..

🪽 We are excited to announce an annotated genome assembly for the hoatzin (Opisthocomus hoazin), found in swamps, riparian forests, and mangroves of the Amazon and the Orinoco basins in South America. Special thanks to our collaborator Andrew Crawford! (1/3)

There has been strong night-time bird migration in recent nights, for example last night.

The new radar-based tool has revealed that birds can reach heights of almost 4 km (!) over southern Finland.

IL kertoi Hesen hinnoittelevan kasvishampurilaiset edullisemmin kuin lihapurilaiset. Ja tein sillee tyhmästi, että luin kommenttiosiota Facebookista ja kuulemma
- on rasisimia tämä
- kasvissyöjien pitäisi perustaa oma valtio
- on prosessoitu ja epäterveellisempi (tuolla terveysruuan tyyssijassa!)

Remember: You don’t love your European vacay just because it’s Europe, you also just like walkable cities, and we could have that here in the US too😩

"Edellä mainitun korkeakouluille kohdistuvan säästön lisäksi niiden perusrahoitusta vähennetään 30 miljoonalla eurolla."

"Korkeakoulujen T&K-toiminnan vahvistamiseen kohdennetaan yhteensä 30 miljoonaa euroa."

Ja näin muutetaan yliopistoja tuotekehitysosastoiksi.

Voiko joku selittää mulle, miten koulutustasoa nostetaan leikkaamalla korkeakoulujen rahoitusta? Humanistin matikka ei riitä tämän yhtälön ratkaisemiseen.
