Be aware, not just to generate knowledge, while having multiple precautionary principles in place that prevent implementation. Other countries will be laughing third
Europe’s choice is clear.

To put science at the heart of its economy.

To become the home of scientific freedom and collaboration.

And to welcome talent from all over the world.

I’m glad to present the first elements of our Choose Europe Initiative.

New plant identified

I've totally passed this plant many times before, but I could never identify it; turns out it's the Boerne Bean (Phaseolus texensis), native to only the limestone canyons of the central and southern Balcones Escarpment (Central Texas basically)

I wonder how it tastes

Welke bedreiging? Mooi dat het gebundeld wordt. Kunnen bedreigingen door x.com/j_vollenbroek straks ook toegevoegd worden als de advocaat zijn werk gaat doen richting MOBs psychologische pesterijen

New pre-print!!! What types of genes end up on plasmids and why? The take home message of this paper is that beneficial genes move from plasmids to chromosome, causing the ecological value of plasmids to decay over time.

Chromosomal capture of beneficial genes drives plasmids towards ecological redundancy
Plasmids are a ubiquitous feature of bacterial genomes, but the evolutionary forces driving genes to become associated with plasmids are poorly understood. To address this problem, we compared the fit...

The world really should backup NCBI asap.

A task for @who.int and @fao.org ?

Confusion and anxiety is rippling through the US health-research community this week following Donald Trump taking office, cancelled research-grant reviews, travel and trainings for scientists inside and outside the NIH www.nature.com/articles/d41...
‘Never seen anything like this’: Trump’s team halts NIH meetings and travel
In an unprecedented move, research-grant reviews have been suspended indefinitely at the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research.

Boeren hebben te maken met veranderingen, onzekerheid en financiële druk. Provincie Groningen wil hier nu verantwoordelijkheid in nemen door hulp te bieden op sociaal-economisch domein. Ze bereidt de inrichting van een #steunpunt voor. 👨‍🌾☑️ #sociaaleconomisch
Groningen ontwikkelt steunpunt voor boerenzorgen
Provincie Groningen bereidt de inrichting van een steunpunt voor dat boeren en tuinders kan bijstaan die sociaal-economische druk ervaren. Het steunpunt moet begin dit jaar van start gaan.

Just like biotechnology (sequencing, GM, ) was boosted by healthcare (unlimited funding..) So AI looks now for connection in that domain. Agriculture will just profit on their waves. Don't forget that NCBI is USA government funded
