I really dislike how science has started calling almost any fancy computational technique AI. 🧪

The framing of this entire article makes it sound like a benevolent AI independently made these drugs.

That is *pure fantasy*.

Instead: a team of scientists made a machine learning model for a study.

These fossilized sea lilies (crinoids) were found in the Moroccan desert, preserved in stunning detail.

Bluesky you deserve some fireflies in a cornfield. Not pictured-the young hawk chased away by robins, the enormous kale after the rain, the smell of the tomato plant leaves.

My absolute favourite 💙
Mertensia maritima, Oysterplant
Such a joy to see this gorgeous plant again this week!
Caithness #WildflowerHour
The Oysterplant is a very beautiful and rare member of the Borage Family. Like other members of this family such as Lungwort or Forget-me-not, the buds are pink before opening to five-petalled blue flowers. In the Uk it is a northern coastal plant and it’s a species on the edge. Much reduced in its former range, it dislikes rising sea levels and its seeds require a good winter chill in order to germinate.

Composting toilet for garden gnomes? 🌱 🌴
A bright red pitcher of Nepenthes ‘Bloody Mary’ sitting on the ground. With its oval lid and broad peristome, it looks more than a little like a toilet with the lid up and seat down.

Stop discriminatory extra charges on a specified nomadic group meant to disintegrate their existence.

Without nomadic boaters the waterways are free game to be sold up and privatised - our biggest blue accessible areas

It’s #IntetnationalTeaDay when tea was v expensive in the 18th C speedwell was used as a replacement. I’ve tried it and it’s delicious. All parts that grow above ground are used. A green tea, like Oolong, with herbal benefits
