Bluesky wrapped: a 🧵 of my posts that generated the most conversation on this site.
Below is a clever visualization of the distribution of how land is used in the U.S. Cows roam over a lot of land!
But this is not a map - for example, the 100 largest landowning families aren't confined to Florida.

What is common in your field but shocks outsiders?
Only 39 genes control the layout of the entire human body - head, arms, legs, ribs, all of it. Not only that, but the position of these genes in the genome are correlated 1:1 to the body structures they control. Also, we found this out in flies.

Elections are trolley problems and as much as we would all love to levitate the train off its tracks (or point it toward whoever put it there) we don’t have that option right now. The train is coming and the switch is in your hand. Don’t listen to people telling you to walk away.

After asking the government (or private foundations) to pay for the costs of doing research, we conduct the research and write papers about it that our peers review for free, then we donate those papers to for-profit companies that sell them back to us at high prices. This is considered normal.
ok i have another quote tweet prompt. what's something, big or small, related to your job or hobby, that most people don't know that you would like to have them know? it can be a concept, a piece of history, some vocabulary, or something else.
