Why even physicists still don’t understand quantum theory 100 years on
Quantum mechanics depicts a counter-intuitive reality in which the act of observation influences what is observed — and few can agree on what that means.

How quantum mechanics emerged in a few revolutionary months 100 years ago
It began with concerns about the orbits used to explain the motion of electrons in atoms — but quantum theory ended up upending reality itself.

Thrilled to see this paper out! 🎉

We analyzed 470 (!) angiosperm genomes and identified and dated 132 whole-genome duplication events. Importantly, we observed that WGD occurrence dates are not randomly distributed, but clustered at times of major environmental upheaval.

The Rise of Polyploids During Environmental Catastrophes
Polyploidy, or whole-genome duplication (WGD), both a strong evolutionary and ecological force and a potential pitfall, occurs extensively across the tree of life, particularly in angiosperms. While p...
