Ketika teori evolusi di Indonesia hampir terancam [a thread]

Rarely seen and found nowhere else on Earth. Weighing just 1kg, the endangered Bornean ferret badger is one of the world's least-seen mammals. @OxfordBiology & @WildCRU_Ox have helped deliver the most comprehensive assessment of the species to date ⬇️ ox.ac.uk/news/2026-06-1…

@Coelacanthuss @RTB_FRana @TRyanGregory @DanGraur Time to bring out the lncRNA review bingo card.

When will scientists and science writers learn? Junk DNA ≠ Noncoding DNA Have mercy on me! The number of dramamine pills I have to take when I read such nauseating nonsense is surely not healthy.

when mount tambora in indonesia erupted in 1815, the volcano killed all 10,000+ tambora people and wiped out their culture entirely. their extinct language was uniquely non-austronesian & we only know about it from a 48-word vocabulary list collected by colonial officials in 1814

Scientists are actively researching ways to make phage therapies more effective. This includes efforts to engineer phages to expand their host range and aid in bacterial defense system evasion. More at Molecule of the Month: pdb101.rcsb.org/motm/318

A lack of sexual reproduction in the world's earliest animals slowed evolution to a crawl half a billion years ago. But when competition and a lack of resources led to the development of sexual reproduction, it gave evolution a turbo boost. New research from @CamZoology 👇 cam.ac.uk/research/news/…

@itsmudaud @UofT @MBPatUofT Udah lulus aja, tiba-tiba amat

Graduated @UofT alhamdulillah. I owe the people of Indonesia. Insyaa Allah will continue learning how to do science @MBPatUofT PhD. Maybe something protein, but we'll see.

Our rarest great ape cousin, a species rumored to exist for nearly 100 years… finally found around a decade ago… The small-headed frizzy haired Tapanuli Orangutan is worth learning about. In this video I break down their evolutionary history (they really are their own species) and discuss how a storm impacted their population.

This classic paper has more relevance nowadays than anyone could've guessed.
