I really hate the way Trump treats people. He is mean, cruel, and vindictive. Why would anyone like him as a person? Why would people even vote for him?

Schistosomiasis continues to impose a substantial global disease burden.
Based on the 2021 Global Burden of Disease study, this systematic analysis reports marked declines in mortality and DALYs over the past three decades, alongside shifting regional patterns.🧪 doi.org/10.1051/para...

🧪Free audio article “Toward a Biological Theory of Everything” is out. If anyone is out there listening, please let me know. I may be reading into the void, and I’ll keep doing it, but it would be awesome to know if there's anyone out there.

We met a young reader at a little library yesterday. She LOVES reading books. What a moment of joy, inspiration, and hopefulness. Reading, learning, science, and fun....what a needed combination. Here's to a happy new year for all and some of my favorite notes from young readers. 🧪📚#Booksky

reminder of cryptogyny, the hiding of women's contributions to science, technology, engineering, and medicine:
"although three men received the Nobel Prize for penicillin, women participated significantly in the team effort that brought the drug to medical usefulness."

The next day, the flower enters the male phase, & the anthers release pollen. The fly, now carrying a fresh load of pollen, is released when the hairs on the throat of the flower wither. The fly goes off to walk into another flower. #Aristolochiaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Have you heard the one about the fly that walked into a flower?
When a pollen-bearing fly enters the flower of an Aristilochia (like this A. samarensis), the journey is 1-way: Downward-pointing hairs prevent escape. The flower is in the female phase, so the stigma picks up the pollen from the fly.

I stumbled across this article about alternative protein sources. Many of them I had never heard of before.
It mentioned:
-winged beans
-grasspea
-lupins
-Bambara groundnut
Also, duckweed species can have protein contents of up to 43% (dry matter) and provide all essential amino acids.

5 things that will fix the corruption in our politics:
1. Ban hedge funds from buying single-family homes.
2. Prohibit Congress and families from stock trading.
3. Remove big money from politics: Ban unions, corporations, super PACs; limit individual donations to $100 per election.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked
