A study in Science reveals an extensive precolonial agricultural landscape in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, suggesting Indigenous American communities cultivated maize intensively between 1000 and 1600 CE, despite a cold climate and marginal growing conditions. https://scim.ag/49voBGO
Archaeological evidence of intensive indigenous farming in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, USA
We describe archaeological evidence of intensive ancestral Native American agriculture in the now heavily forested Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Recent LIDAR (light detection and ranging) and excavatio...

Just in time for the New Year we have a new preprint up that focuses on white cells, often used as ornaments in fish.

Not the submission process, not reviewer #2, not the editor. Writing the abstract of the paper is often a far greater challenge. And there’s one simple reason for that: most people have a hard time figuring out what’s important for the reader. I ‘ll be sharing tips in next posts - stay tuned!

For the life of me, why do people submit manuscripts now? My EIC inbox has rarely been fuller, and there's no way I'm sending these to Associate Editors until 2026.
Friends don't let friends submit in late December.

Organelles do NOT have a single uniform pH.
And if you think they must, because “protons diffuse fast,” this paper is for you.
A thread on why that assumption is wrong; and what we found instead. 🧵 1/n
