The world-renowned primatologist Jane Goodall has died at the age of 91, her institute has said.
“Dr Goodall’s discoveries as an ethologist revolutionised science,” the statement read. “She was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our natural world.”

MAGA ambassador Pete Hoosktra is telling Canada that he doesn't like the term "elbows up." He says it's anti-American.
Sorry Pete, your president might be able to fire Jimmy Kimmel but you don't get to tell Canadians how to talk.

Why do people accept to add "Created with Biorender" on their figures, presented at scientific meetings, on posters and in theses? Would you accept to add "Manuscript written in Microsoft Word" or "Manuscript prepared on a Apple computer" on your figures? This non-sense needs to stop.
