#Genetica | Hoe bestrijd je invasieve soorten? @Nicky_Faber_ van #WUR ontdekte hoe je een stokje kunt steken voor voortplanting van invasieve soorten. De methode brengt echter wel risico's met zich mee. Lees hier meer over deze 'Trojaanse soortgenoten'. trouw.nl/duurzaamheid-n…

@TroyNRowan Wow fancy! Good luck 😃🐮

Moved into my new office (!!) and was delighted to find that it came with not only a window, but an extensive collection of 1900-1960 cattle books/magazines and essential tools for conducting genetic selection.

”I think we simply need to tell the truth. We should be adult enough to handle the truth. And the truth can be quite frightening in some ways – but it is also hopeful.” Last week I had a long conversation with David Attenborough. You can read it here: dn.se/kultur/greta-t…

@ian_g_brennan @kfergy @DamienEsquerre Wow super cool, thanks! One question: can you just use any image for this, or will copyright be an issue because the cartoon is quite heavily based on the image?

English

Ian Brennan@ian_g_brennan·26 Kas

Alright, I've gotten a few requests for how to make your own cartoon animals (or whatever) in Adobe Illustrator. I'll outline a quick process using this amazing dart frog photo from my homie @DamienEsquerre. And we'll (hopefully) end up with a highly stylized drawing.
