@Elohssa412 @amrG1 @ryanwhitney6 They were the better team ON PAPER but not on the ice that day.

@amrG1 @ryanwhitney6 Team Canada was definitely the better team but at the end of the day Hellebuyck was amazing, the Canadians didn’t have an answer and team USA is bringing home the gold.

I will have a Team USA Jack Hughes jersey behind the seat at my desk for the rest of time. What an incredible description of how every USA hockey fan felt

@Edel_PLopez This effect will be mediated at least in part by the plant’ emission of volatiles that attract parasitoids.

It’s Feb 13 and the live oaks are flowering in Houston

@Michaelfiore That’s no rat!!!

We found a rat when uncovering our roses, so I deployed the tactical assault cat.

"Everybody who has an mRNA injection will die within 3 to 5 years, even if they have had only one injection" said Delores Cahill Anyone out there 5 years or more after the vaccine and still alive? ✋

@ScottESolomon Never

How long until human footprints on Mars? 👣

Even the temperature differentials are bigger in Texas

@alaskalandmine Saw that on Stranger Things last night

My god. The derrick basically disintegrates when it hits the ground. Doyon 26 weighs nearly 10 million pounds. Absolutely no clue how the rig could tip over like that.

@DrNeilStone ✋

Who here has had all their recommended vaccines with either no or minor side effects? 🤚

@thebiologistisn @simonmaechling My comment was more observation than criticism.

@jackcschultz @simonmaechling Not even that. People generally want consistency in their crops. Consistency in biology is something that parasites/diseases take advantage of. Even if the plants had all the same resistances they had 100 years ago, those resistances would be irrelevant.

Tomatoes didn’t start big, red, or sweet. They began as tiny, bitter berries in the Andes, produced by wild plants that barely resemble what’s on your plate today. Over thousands of years, humans did what humans always do: they selected. Bigger fruits. Less bitterness. More flesh. Fewer toxins. More yield. Generation after generation, farmers kept seeds from plants with the traits they liked. That deliberate filtering turned wild Solanum relatives into cherry tomatoes, then into the large, juicy tomatoes we know today. This is domestication. Not “unnatural.” Not new. Modern breeding and today’s genetic engineering does the same thing, just with better tools and more precision. The tomato is proof that nearly everything we eat today is already a human invention of modified genes.

Got your copy of a pocket guide to scientific writing and publishing? 😁

@scottpegan @MaryamRFaghihi @gallformers @wasp_venom @NSF @USDA Interestingly in the few ‘nectar’ producing galls that have been studied they do not use a version of nectary structure or function, but instead arrange vasculature as Scott says.

Why are other insects commonly found on oak galls? The gall wasp not only manipulates the physical growth, but some can manipulate the vascular system to emit a sugary liquid, attracting other insects to feed, and defend, the baby wasp inside. #biodiversity #mutualism

@maria48308 Surprising, coming from a vaccine-denier and anti immigrationist.

Perfectly said.

Messages I get. “Hi Mr. Schultz this is Diana I would change at the Houston medical office and you were assigned to our relationship here and we wanted to call and juice ourselves to make sure you know exactly who you are when things come up we can absolutely assist you”

@Edel_PLopez Ant tell without more information but it could be possible for this criticism to be correct.

When you get this kind of peer-review, can you take a rejection decision seriously? “The data presented are methodological good however using genomes mainly produced from insect vectors that are also vectoring other bacteria as in this case reduce the reliability of the molecular data that must be provided from a clean source only colonized by the pathogen studied and it is well known that insect also has larger microbiomes then plants.” This claim is soooo scientifically flawed! Society journals usually are constructive, helpful, but the two we got today are in the same line. Cherry picking and full of unsubstantiated claims 😪 IJSEM, @MicrobioSoc 🥲 Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The director of MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center was shot to death last night in his home. When one of the greatest minds on the planet specializing in nuclear fusion is assassinated, it seems like a bad omen.
