Zitat von DFG-Prรคsidentin Katja Becker:
"Der in den Verhandlungen erzielte politische Durchbruch stรคrkt den Forschungsstandort Europa und erรถffnet neue Wege fรผr eine klimaresiliente und ressourcenschonende Landwirtschaft. Wichtig ist nun, dass die neuen Regelungen auch zรผgig im EU-Parlament und 
im EU-Rat bestรคtigt und in allen Mitgliedstaaten umgesetzt werden."

New preprint!
SOSEKI polarity proteins are mechanoresponsive integrators linking growth and tissue mechanics during lateral root formation. Their polarity marks growth boundaries and reorganises in response to mechanical alterations โ€”reshaping how we think about axis formation.

How a humble weed became a superstar of biology Arabidopsis thaliana was always an unlikely candidate for the limelight. But 25 years ago, the diminutive thale cress launched the botanical world into the molecular era.

Hungary 1956
'Well over a 100k people fled the country seeking asylum. Among them was a young geneticist named George Rรฉdei, who headed for the Austrian border with a small vial of seeds tucked in his pocket.
The seeds belonged to a spindly weed in the mustard family called Arabidopsis thaliana.'

Do remember to tell people, when you write your article, that the most important message today is that every single day, each one of us lives, we make some impact on the planet, and we can choose what sort of impact we make; what we buy, what we wear, where does it come from? Did it harm the environment when it was made? Did it lead to cruelty to animals like terrible factory farms? Is it cheap because of child slave labor? If we start making ethical choices every day, millions and billions of us, we move towards a better world and a world of citizens who will push governments to make the ethical decisions themselves.

Harvard University Harvard University is devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, and research, and to developing leaders who make a difference globally.

Harvard redid its whole homepage to push back against the administrationโ€™s demands. I mean, this is just a website but I think itโ€™s kind of a great PR move: www.harvard.edu

A research lab from Northwestern, chosen because it's generic and sort of zoomed out.  Three scientists are visible in lab coats, and there are benches and shelving, with glass along one wall showing another high-rise building nearby. Overhead fluorescents provide light.

This is a room where we turn very modest salaries and budgets (and lots of coffee) into new knowledge, life-saving innovations, and technology that feeds business growth.

It's literally the loom that spins hay into gold but these numpties are suddenly worried about the cost of hay.
