STOTEN is now dead. It has been completely removed from Web of Science mjl.clarivate.com/search-results
Warning to environmental scientists! 🧪🦑🌎🐟

The journal STOTEN has been placed on hold by Clarivate, meaning it is under investigation and may lose its indexing (including impact factor). Consider publishing elsewhere.

Pedigree = Crane’s foot 🤯
The origin of 'pedigree'. This type of C12 figure (not a family tree but a way of calculating relatedness – the titles of various relatives have not been put in the circles) looked like a crane's foot, thought medieval folk. So 'pied de grue' and hence 'pedigree'. Source in alt.

Historical records across thousands of women showed that mothers with more children had shorter lifespans during a famine, fitting an evolutionary explanation for why we age
