Cellular structure self-organizes through an interplay between internal mechanisms and external cues. The single-celled suctorian P. collini builds a trap structure to capture large prey using microtubule feeding tentacles, creating feedback between cell morphology and prey availability.

This is an account of the beginning of the end of the internet as we know it - the commons of knowledge destroyed for profit, grokified for greed.

But for science it is fatal - without trust in sources and data and a reasonable means to identify sound sources this could lead to a crisis.

If you'd like to celebrate the biology of viruses - or the fight against viral diseases - this winter, try out our free and updated #VirusSnowflake designs.
Please share, and if you have any photos of Virus Snowflakes in your area it would be lovely to see them!

cool pincer movement if you truly grasp:

AI & any concept relating to it like so-called guardrails are a scam in the deepest sense like a perpetual motion machine or a quija board — and not only a scam like a pyramid scheme which is a possible way to make money if you are first in first out

Mid-November ice extent in the Bering Sea (west of Alaska) 1978-2025 based on NSIDC data. In hindsight, the step change between 2001 and 2002 is remarkable for its consistency. The 2002-2025 median is 65 percent lower(!) than the median of the prior 24 years. 1 / 2 #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

Reeves should risk it all on one last roll of the dice.

Raise income tax, break the triple lock, slay the deficit, spend the money on the things she believes in.

It may not work - but better than waiting for doom to overtake her.
