With this new step, we will try to be the voice of science and art around the world, which are being silenced and suppressed.
Our news will be multilingual.
Of course, we will be positive and progressive/constructive.
But without losing our independent side

Happy publication day to Melissa Leach & James Fairhead for 'Naturekind'! It introduces a new paradigm for human & nonhuman communication from @princetonupress.bsky.social

Innovative & provocative, as reviewer @erleellis.bsky.social says,"nature is talking, & people need to listen"

Another 'new normal' of the last decades: deportation.
More and more 'civilized' states are looking for a third country to de(x)port its 'human waste'.
Not only that; They want mass deportations, too.
This is stated in the programs of the legal parties.
Such as AfD, PVV, FvD, Reform etc.

Spread the word if you can.
We have an unused stopped flow accessory from Applied Photophysics. We traded in our Chirascan CD instrument so we have no use for this anymore. Reach out if you are interested and can find a home for this setup. Will ofcourse only work with a Chirascan!

This is figure 1, which shows GBM induces calvarial bone abnormality and OC activity in several anatomical regions of the calvarium delineating osteogenic edges adjacent to the skull sutures.
