Many river captures, great and small. Including the largest such events known in the geological record, forming the modern transcontinental Amazon river, and resulting in the Great Amazonian Biotic Interchange. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

i’ve been reading david hull’s “science as a process” (thrilling; also a slog) and one of the many ways it has changed my perspective is that anyone who tells you there is some narrowly correct way to do science or that science only works when motivations are pure is full of shit

8. As happens ofen with inconvenient or null-findings, our manuscript was desk-rejected by several journals until one editor decided for review. One reviewer said “The anti-suicidal effect of lithium in bipolar, unipolar and some other psychiatric disorders is absolutely sure.”

Estimated number of evolutionary shifts to and from hummingbird pollination among angiosperm groups. The pronounced asymmetry in the number of interacting hummingbird (366) and plant (~7,000) species illustrates a few-to-many mapping of this ecological association.

NYPD arrests scientist Dr. Sandra Steingraber 🏳️‍🌈 at Citibank: “I’m a biologist, I’ve been studying climate change since 1982 and no one is listening to the data. So today they’re going to have to listen to my body blocking the doors of the world’s largest funder of new fossil fuel

Nice photo, but no, "Science"! That is not Aedes aegypti -- it is Aedes albopictus. Seems to me that "Science" magazine ought to identify its mosquitoes correctly!science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
