'Well over a 100k people fled the country seeking asylum. Among them was a young geneticist named George Rédei, who headed for the Austrian border with a small vial of seeds tucked in his pocket.
The seeds belonged to a spindly weed in the mustard family called Arabidopsis thaliana.'

How a humble weed became a superstar of biology
Arabidopsis thaliana was always an unlikely candidate for the limelight. But 25 years ago, the diminutive thale cress launched the botanical world into the molecular era.

Sad news: Jane Goodall has died. She did more than any other human for our understanding and appreciation of our closest relatives, the chimpanzees.
That chimpanzees are Endangered tells you everything about our species and about what made her so exceptional.

Wie Paris durch seine Verkehrspolitik, die Feinstaub- und NO2-Belastung v.a. seit Amtsantritt von Anne Hidalgo ab 2014 verringern und so zehntausenden Menschen ein längeres Leben schenken konnte, ist eine so krasse Erfolgsgeschichte, die gar nicht oft genug erzählt werden kann❤️

Fougère, Grison et al. show that the ER–Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) in plants is a tubulo-vesicular network marked by MEMBRIN proteins that is largely Golgi-independent. The plant ERGIC mat...

This is a room where we turn very modest salaries and budgets (and lots of coffee) into new knowledge, life-saving innovations, and technology that feeds business growth.
It's literally the loom that spins hay into gold but these numpties are suddenly worried about the cost of hay.
