Why are the Chicago protests always downtown? I feel like we should be marching down Fullerton or in Back of the Yards. (Yes I am just tossing this out there, I have no idea how to Make It Happen).

unraveled @unraveledpress.com · 16h

ICE is in Back of the Yards again* this morning. 1 person detained: instagram.com/p/DPlsHGoDvek

*Rarely a day has gone by since this surge began that they haven't grabbed people in this area. That footage you saw of Chicagoans being tear gassed on Saturday was in an adjacent neighborhood.

🔒🌿 SPECIAL ISSUE REVIEW 🔒🌿

Paiva-Silva et al. summarize and integrate current knowledge on protease inhibition in plant–pathogen interactions and speculate on ways in which this could be harnessed to improve plant resilience to biotic stresses 🦠💪

🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/...

#PlantScience 🧪

Fig. 1.Events of protease inhibition in plant biotic stress at three different levels. (A) Inhibition of endogenous plant proteases by plant protease inhibitors; (B) inhibition of pathogen/pest proteases by plant-derived protease inhibitors; (C) inhibition of plant proteases by pathogen-derived protease inhibitors. All proteases are denoted by the name of their homologue in Arabidopsis unless indicated otherwise. See paper for figure legend with abbreviations explanation.

New algorithm address the challenge of inferring GRNs from time series transcriptome data. This approach generates cohesive networks with minimal user input, revealing biologically meaningful neighborhoods.

It's #WorldOctopusDay! These beauties from our collection are both by French pharmacist and naturalist Jean Baptiste Vérany (1800-65).

Octopus vulgaris - the common octopus, which can grow to 9kg and change colour to match its surroundings.

Common octopus with brown and yellow colouring with hints of blue. It has yellow eyes and fills the image.

No kidding. Imagine how many people could start small businesses and change jobs if not locked to family health care. It’s a drain on the economy and a leash.

He was always going to do this. Chicagoans have not rioted, so the administration just lied and said we have. We have not attacked ICE agents, so they just lied and said we did. There was no chaos here, so they created chaotic scenes by attacking people and filmed that shit.

This is why we don't have universal healthcare––they have us by the health insurance. 😡
