FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.
Conceptual diagram of potential patterns of flowering time shifts in relation to local historical temperature. Blue represents localities with relatively cooler historic temperatures (Cooler) with slope Ξ²c; red represents localities with relatively warmer temperatures (Warmer) with slope Ξ²w, and green represents localities with historically intermediate temperatures (Mean) with slope Ξ²m. a) Higher phenological sensitivity to changes in interannual temperature (Temperature anomalies) in localities with relatively lower historic temperatures. b) Higher phenological sensitivity in localities with relatively higher temperatures. c) Higher phenological sensitivity in localities with historically intermediate temperatures.

1. Anti-trans outrage is losing its bite.
Last week, Elon Musk led a mass boycott campaign to get trans characters removed from shows on the platform.
Major conservatives joined in.
Now, we have the result: the boycott was a fizzle, and Netflix stock is up.

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this yearβs cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE
RFK Jr on Tylenol and autism: "It is not proof. We're doing the studies to make the proof."
A graph showing violin plots. On the y axis is the perceived morality of people from 0 to 8. On the x axis the time points 40 years before my birth, 20 years before my birth, at my birth, 20 years past my birth, today. The morality value is constant until birth, and then declines.
People: "Things used to be better."
Scientist: "When did it start getting worse?"
People: "When I was born."
From "The illusion of moral decline" by Adam Mastroianni.

Patterns of hybridization are driven by many factors. Here we explore these patterns w a special emphasis on breeding system variation. Really great collab w wonderful students and colleagues!

Rest in Peace, Jane Goodall ππ»
We are deeply saddened by the passing of UN Messenger of Peace Dr. Jane Goodall.
Her lifeβs work championing conservation, humanity and the natural world leaves an enduring legacy.
Our condolences to her family, the Jane Goodall Institute and all who draw hope from her example.
Despite These Times...my department is hiring! I really like my department, we have a good mix of disciplines and organisms and we're really low-drama. We also get pizza at faculty meeting. So if you're a computational and structural biologist, join us! π§ͺ jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/260...

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended
'Rapture' comes from the Latin 'rapere' meaning "to seize and carry off."
'Raptor' also comes from 'rapere.'
We hope neither carries you off today.
