It seems like Ötzi's museum will need to replace its figurines soon. The newest DNA analysis conducted by Max Planck Institute showed unusually high Anatolian farmer ancestry :) cell.com/cell-genomics/…

Dr Federica Bertocchini found out that wax worms are actually able to digest plastic. That could be extremely useful in the fight against plastic pollution. A whole other question is, how much plastic actually needs to be used in daily life... youtu.be/Z-HHbU0zoXk?si…

Larvae of the diving beetles of the genus Thermonectus achieve bifocal vision with two different retinas at different distances from the lens :O cell.com/current-biolog…

Zooming around a bacteria cell. It's so cool I just got the cell imported (including lipids) and rendering correctly with the new rendering engine (it's called Angstrom). 3x performance boost! So much detail (too much?!) #screenshotsunday #gamedev #scicomm #xcode #swiftlang

Odpověď komunistů na protesty Palachova týdne nespočívala jen v tvrdém potlačení. Tenhle blok odvysílala Československá televize a podobnost s ruskými propagandisty není náhodná. Klid na práci, nacisté, návody na výbušniny. Chybí jen The Sims. Wait for it, je to neuvěřitelné...

The problem with box plots. It took me at least 3 years to figure this out (and most data scientists never get this). In 3 minutes, I'll share 3 years on boxplots (business case included): 1. Box Plots: The box plot, also known as a box-and-whisker plot, was developed by John W.

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the Human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far." H.P. #Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu

Určitě jste slyšeli o propojení stromů v lese "internetem" podhoubí🍄🌳🌲, o stromech, které přes tyhle "dráty" komunikují a posílají si živiny, i o dalších vymoženostech téhle "sítě". No tak pro nic z toho nejsou vědecké důkazy 🤷‍♂️ cell.com/trends/plant-s…

The cell membrane can temporarily open after an electric impulse. This electroporation may facilitate the uptake of foreign DNA, such as eDNA, by the cell. So, eels have the potential to alter the DNA of fish larvae in their surroundings. :D Just wow. peerj.com/articles/16596/

Video footage of “Ukrainian soldiers” walking around the “ammunition store” we bombed today…

The website is incredible, packed with useful info and resources.

What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too? And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates. A teaser: the income distribution of the laureates' fathers.1/N

TIL: Royal jelly of bees is just a mixture of proteins and sugar without any proven positive effects. The queen actually develops when she is not exposed to p-coumaric acid. To get just a few grams of royal jelly, you need to kill thousands of baby queens. reddit.com/r/Beekeeping/c…

Ukrainian Soldier in a letter to Americans: “America, I have a question for you. You chose Trump as your president. Today, he called the world’s number one terrorist—not for justice, but to negotiate, treating him like a legitimate leader. How do you feel about that? Would

A rare carnivorous caterpillar, previously unknown to biologists, stalks spiderwebs for food whilst dressed in the remains of its prey, researchers report in Science. This unique new species, dubbed the “bone collector,” is found only on a single mountainside on the Hawai’ian

"Chemists in California have woven entangled nanocarbon structures that boast some of the most fiendishly complicated shapes. “Perplexanes” represent an entirely new topological class of molecules." cen.acs.org/synthesis/Perp…

About a decade ago, a baker in a small mountainous village in southern Austria noticed his cow doing something unusual. When Veronika had an itch, she would grab a stick in her mouth and use it to scratch her body. Over the years, the brown bovid’s technique improved. She could
