Nerd fact (I’m a marine biologist after all), when luciferin and luciferase (gotta love the biblical names) join together, they react with the oxygen in the air to make an oxidised complex. After that, luciferin emits a photon, and that is what you see when it breaks

Awesome cloud formations today in Aotearoa NZ

Sea below, clouds above concealing sun - giving light play, with smaller clouds looking like rays emanating from the bigger clouds. Colours predominantly grey with a little blue peeping through the sky. Sorry quite hard to describe ♥️

That they have to know enough to be able to fact check the output. If they can't, there's a very realistic chance the output will make them look like a fool.

OK now you're just showing off 😆 but seriously, it's those many years of collaborating that got you to this stage of it being 'quick and smooth'.

Impressive! I don't envy how long and how much effort that must have been to set up, but it should be a great return on investment.

I just submitted a peer review that I was extremely tempted to write in confidential comments to the editor "more unsubstantiated claims than the US president". It beggars belief.

I'll see you there :) I've only been to one (last yr in Christchurch) and enjoyed it but I hear it is variable based on the host institution's priorities. Brisbane is a great city to sightsee in but will be s-t-i-c-k-y in Dec 🥵

Too easy: American Gothic, circa 1995. The height of the sublime 90s horror genre. Approximately 3 people agree with me.

I don't disagree but how would that work in practice when the findings are in the abstract (or should be)?

More cuts to the Marsden Fund. This time $20 million from the annual budget cut starting next year. This is on top of previous cuts by this government. They are trying to skip the 'priming the pump' step of public research as a driver of the economy. How well that is going to work?

Fewer Marsden Fund grants after government cuts

A major research fund has been forced to slash its grant allocation by more than $20 million next year.
