#OnThisDay in 1859, Charles Darwin's landmark book 'On the Origin of Species' was first published. The work is one of the foundations of evolutionary biology, and one of the most important scientific works of the 19th century. #HistoryOfScience

This year I had the fantastic opportunity to learn more about #beans by observing and measuring plants from the #Phaseolus collection at #MEXU, UNAM. To me, it's clearer than ever just how important are #herbaria worldwide—true vaults of past and present biodiversity!

Beautiful flower of wild #bean #Phaseolus Phaseolus macvaughii at #UNAM #Chamela Biology Station. Plants must profit from the ephemeral rainy season. The seeds left by this wild bean will remain dormant until the next year. Fantastic!

I am very happy to share that the Missouri Botanical Garden has received funding to digitize their entire herbarium! This work - made possible by an anonymous $14.4 million grant - will image and transcribe all 8 million specimens in the MO herbarium. MO Botanical Garden

Women tend to live longer than men and are often more resilient to cognitive decline as they age. Now researchers might have uncovered a source for this resilience: the second X chromosome in female cells go.nature.com/41K8Ubc

It's critical to learn how to incorporate new tools such as #AI in the process of writing academic papers... Which are the opportunities, limits and caveats? As any tool, it's a double-edged sword, but nevertheless a powerful one #ScientificWriting #Ethics

This year, I’ve been learning new tools to analyze #ecological data for my #PhD and it’s been incredibly exciting! As someone who’s always loved maps, I’m thrilled to explore spatial patterns for my species. I just generated my first habitat suitability projections using MaxEnt!

5m spatial resolution! Wow! It will be interesting to see papers using this data to answer critical questions about the Amazonian rainforest #GIS #RStats

"Adaptive radiations" are almost always complicated, often involving introgression from external lineages. Case in point: Malawi cichlids. researchgate.net/publication/39…

El Tecuami (Senna wislizeni) está en explosión de flores ahora, los paisajes de la región de Tehuacán estan llenos de amarillo y este árbol además de hermoso da alimento a mucha biodiversidad (abejas, avispas, mariposas, etc)

Multimodal streets aren't "communism". They're good math.
