Today I learned:
according to genetic studies, the horse is indeed the closest living relative to the bat. DNA analysis has revealed that bats and horses shared a common ancestor much closer in time than, for example, horses and cows.

I'm so excited to share my new Science publication documenting the decline of butterflies across the USA!! The bottom line is that we saw widespread, concerning declines between 2000 and 2020: 22% reduction in total numbers of butterflies, 33% of species declined while less than 3% increased.

I just saw this login prompt so I fired up /usr/bin/mail and I was transported back to 1990 at Cray Research, Inc. and reminiscing about the days when you could read email without using a mouse.
Speaking of mice, did you see the Woolly Mouse from Colossal?

Many people in transplantation/HLA field like to start their papers with the phrase "the MHC is the *most* polymorphic regions of the human genome"
Perhaps we should say "...one of the most polymorphic regions" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The human immunoglobulin heavy chain constant gene locus is enriched for large complex structural variants and coding polymorphisms that vary in frequency among human populations
The immunoglobulin heavy chain constant (IGHC) domain of antibodies (Ab) is responsible for effector functions critical to Ab mediated immunity. In humans, this domain is encoded by genes within the I...
