Southernmost population of Quercus pubescens s.l. on Crete, which might be another subspecies or species, but genetic analysis have not been done yet as much as I know. Looking forward how they are different from more northern ones, such as the ones from Pfynwald in Switzerland

The Taliban have now BANNED women from hearing each other’s voices in public or private settings. This is nothing short of vile, inhumane barbarity. It’s not just oppression—it’s a ruthless assault on Afghan women’s very existence. lbc.co.uk/news/taliban-b…

Great to see my beloved friend Jessica Venetz (she/her) (ofc) successfully defending her PhD thesis - super well done 🥂🫶❤️

‼️It seems the Russian economy is headed towards a collapse in 2025. And Putin knows this. While the Kremlin likes to pretend that their bloody war economy is doing better than ever, this is far from the truth. In attempts to stop runaway inflation due to increased defense

I finally managed to find Quercus alnifolia, the endemic oak species of Cyprus. Amazing how similar it is to Quercus chrysolepis from California - oaks are the master of convergent evolution and evolve the same traits over and over again! #botany #quercus #plantscience

Academics from poorer socio-economic backgrounds are more likely to - not publish - have outstanding publication records - introduce more novel scientific concepts - less likely to receive recognition, as measured by citations, Nobel Prize nominations, and awards.

Look at these amazing Quercus infectoria subsp. veneris with huge acorns. Closely related to Quercus pubescens and the other roburoids. Likely having important genes for introgressive adaptation of robur and petreae in Central and Western Europe

I really love to collect seeds of rare and/or species that are often not included in studies, so I can grow them by myself and use them in my future Experiments #plantscience #botany #plantphysiology #oaks #quercus

Happy to share the preprint of our latest study on 2H and 18O fractionation, showing the close connection between leaf sugar d2H and the leaf level carbon dynamics. It has improved since it was part of my PhD thesis 😁 I hope you will enjoy reading it! doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.…
