A host organelle (in sea slugs) integrates stolen chloroplasts for animal photosynthesis

In the 1960s/70s, as early software papers were talking about programmer "ability" (aided, I regret to say, by psychologists with terrible 1960s views of ability) there were already papers saying that measuring the time it takes to complete a task is neither a measure of ability nor productivity

Prochlorococcus, a marine bacterium that is only 0.5–0.7 micrometers wide, produces more oxygen than all tropical rainforests combined.

Every tiny organism plays a key role in our planet's health.

Do girls and boys really differ in their mathematical skills? A recent @nature.com paper by @standehaene.bsky.social et al shows that French boys and girls enter school with similar abilities, but after just four months, boys pull ahead 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🌍🦋 Climate change is collapsing animal populations

A new global analysis shows 1 in 4 assessed wild animal species face extinction – and climate change is an escalating threat.

⚠️🤖AI in healthcare is already showing bias

A study of 9 LLMs found medically unjustified differences in care based on patient identity – with Black, LGBTQIA+, and unhoused patients often receiving worse or unnecessary recommendations.
