While knowledge #co-production is often used in science-policy knowledge exchange processes, evidence of costs & benefits are scarce. @deniskarcher.bsky.social‬ et al. provide guidance to researchers to achieve cost efficiency & improved benefits @chriscvitanovic.bsky.socialdoi.org/10.1016/j.ma...

🚀 Our Nature paper on EPI-Clone is live

I loved analyzing the human data - we discovered that after age 50, blood production shifts to an oligoclonal pattern, and these expansions aren’t driven by CH mutations!

Dive into @larsplus.bsky.social thread for the full story & visuals.
Out @nature.com: Clonal tracing with somatic epimutations

🧬 Single cell methylome encodes cell state & clonal identity

🔨 EPI-Clone reads out both (+mutations, +RNA) at scale

🩸 Clonal expansions of HSCs are universal from age 50, not driven by CH mutations

Heat exposure on Western Australian coral reefs is literally off the charts.

24 Degree Heating Weeks now at Ningaloo - the highest ever recorded.

6-8 DHW is lethal for most branching corals.

>20 is catastrophic.

🌍 Just published: "Knowledge brokers at the interface of environmental science and policy: A review of knowledge and research needs."

We explore how KBs build capacity for evidence-informed decision-making & shine a light on the often 'invisible' work they do.
