There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase βaccused him without evidenceβ no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory βhasnβt been formally charged.β www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

Also the chestnut history and importance of citizen science in this line of research is biologically and socially compelling. Besides adding to my professional development I am glad to have made a contribution to work that makes a real social difference.
Although marmosets remain my main model, I wanted to lead a functional genomics project to learn a new skill. This will be applied in my forthcoming marmoset work.
American chestnuts were iconic but got wiped out by a foreign pathogenic fungus. Hybrids are key for chestnut restoration. As second author I led parts of the evolutionary and functional work

π’ The Library Carpentry Curriculum Advisory Committee is calling for instructors to run pilot workshops for 14 lessons currently in Alpha status. To move them toward Beta and then adoption as Library Carpentry lessons, they need the Carpentries community to test the lessons in real-world settings. π

Outside in the evening. An office building with video and the words "Palantir Powers Fascism" projected at top. Below, a crowd of people with signs and candles memorializing people who have died at the hands of ICE.
Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #AbolishICE #ICEOut #Palantir #PaloAlto
I hope to see some of you in Bielefeld for this upcoming workshop on measuring and modeling plasticity. ECRs in and around Germany with a penchant for statistics should consider applying while spots remain available!
Diagram of the consumer-resource vaginal microbiota model. The authors track the dynamics of two vaginal microbiota types (CST I and CST IV associated bacteria; C1 and C4) and the shared (Rs) and private resource (Rp) utilised by the two communities. The arrows among compartments represent density-dependent interactions including resource-mediated bacterial growth; lactic-acid-mediated density regulation (self-regulation and antagonism); resource supply; sialic acid cleaving; and background clearance of microbes and resources. The representative species and, or molecules for each model component are listed. The corresponding mathematical model based on ordinary differential equations is detailed in the Methods section of the paper.
