"Bob Dylan: Masterpieces, Parts One and Two" (Prime)- phenomenal live performances of rockin' Dylan and his band. Includes some songs from the 30th anniversary show (play spot the mega-stars!). Jaw-droppingly excellent. One drummer (Winston Watson) is so fun to watch; very animated.

Using 3D reconstructions, we quantify intervertebral joint mobility to investigate how cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebral regions evolved distinct kinematic roles in pinnipeds. The findings rev...

If you're looking to do a little bit of Christmas-flavoured science with the kids then you could do worse than read this little article.

Can't wait to try @sellathechemist.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy Fro-Co recipe.

Merriam-Webster announced that “slop” is its 2025 Word of the Year, reflecting how the term has become shorthand for the flood of low-quality AI-generated content that has spread across social media, search results, and the web at large.

This is news that makes me happy. It really feels most of the time that taxonomy is in a bad place. But in reality, it seems that in the last decades, the rate of species description has been the highest it ever was! 🧪

Cumulative numbers and rates in new species over time across living organisms. (A) The total (cumulative) number of species known in each year and (B) the number of species newly described each year. The analysis includes 1.9 million species, including only extant, accepted names, and excluding viruses, fossil taxa, and species with unknown publication dates.
