From my Ancient Archives; two horrifying sea monsters meet.
Always loved squid; I wanted to be a teuthologist when I was a kid, before choosing to pursue art.
At the time of painting the giant squid had never been filmed alive, leaving the possibilities of our first encounter wide open...

I’ve 4 damson trees, all laden like this. They had a rest year last year so it’s not surprising 🌱 #GardensHour

There indeed is a lot of papers on microbial defense/anti-defense systems coming out that were run under conditions that are so foreign that they leave you wondering if that's really how they work.
We do need to test these systems more! 🧪🦠🔬

Our new paper on archaeal anti-CRISPRs is out in
@Nature (@SpringerNature)! 🔗 rdcu.be/eh1Ma
Using a native virus–host model (SIRV2–S. islandicus), we show that overexpression in foreign hosts can lead to false positives.

Mae Jemison is also one of very few real astronauts to have also appeared in Star Trek. She's now a professor at Cornell, among many other distinctions 🧪🔭
Since we’re all talking about it I want to blow up a real female space pioneer, Mae Jemison, an actual astronaut. She’s a graduate of Stanford and Cornel Medical School, served in the peace corps, started an educational nonprofit, and worked for the CDC researching vaccines. That’s a woman in space

Exploration of the past 6,000 years of Adélie penguin ecology in the Ross Sea highlights past population dynamics and diets, offering insights into biodiversity changes in one of Earth's last intact marine ecosystems. The researchers take you behind their Nature Communications paper. 🧪
6,000 years of Adélie penguin ecology in the Ross Sea reconstructed from ancient environmental DNA
Long-term records of biodiversity provide baselines for interpreting change in threatened environments, such as Antarctica. Our study explores how ancient environmental DNA can provide these baselines, by reconstructing details about past populations and diets of Adélie penguins in the Ross Sea.

This Cosmos plant is one I planted in October in that bucket. It's the second one, and just about to make buds for me!
I can't wait for the flowers. It'll be good to put some out for the bees.
It's supported with velcro straps and hopes!
