Incredibly proud to share this work, almost 6 years in the making, out this month in Science!!! 🎇

We've known for over a century that eukaryotes of all kinds anticipate the seasons (think: hibernation, flowering, reproduction!), but what about bacteria?🦠

Bacteria can anticipate the seasons: Photoperiodism in cyanobacteria

Photoperiodic time measurement is the ability of plants and animals to measure differences in day versus night length (photoperiod) and use that information to anticipate critical seasonal transformat...

unsurprisingly, it turns out that the latest by Agualusa, translated to English as The Living and the Rest, is absolutely amazing

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.

Ted McCormick @tedmccormick.bsky.social · 28d

It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

needless to say I'm a big fan of the latest review by Mingxu Fang (now at OSU), @partchlab.bsky.social, Andy LiWang and Susan Golden!

if you haven't read it yet and you're interested in circadian clocks and/or bacteria, definitely check it out!

🇧🇷 ATENÇÃO: STF tem maioria formada para barrar qualquer indulto ou anistia a Bolsonaro, informa a colunista Mônica Bergamo, da Folha.

O entendimento da Corte é que crimes contra a democracia são imperdoáveis pela Constituição, tanto por indulto presidencial quanto por anistia aprovada no Congresso.

Vought, Rufo, and Bhattacharya do not want what the American people overwhelmingly want.

Few Americans believe that the federal government should control universities' faculty hiring (10%), research topics (11%), curricula (12%), speech policies (13%), rules for student organizations (15%), and admissions criteria (17%). Majorities say each of these things should be outside of the federal government's control

More Americans would like federal funding for scientific research done by American universities to increase (39%) than decrease (13%); 31% want it to stay the same and 17% aren't sure
