Biologist folk (especially in evolutionary biology and/or ecology, but it don’t matter):
Can you give me your favorite examples of trade offs in biology? Organism or system don’t matter. Primary literature or reviews preferred.

Big cities are vibrant hubs of culture, but why exactly is that? Now out in @natcomms.nature.com, we analysed music listening patterns of over 2.5 million people and demographics to examine mechanisms driving cultural diversity. With @researchdeezer.bsky.social @norijacoby.bsky.social

People often ask about this and worth reiterating: there are individual PI's labs that cost more than bioRxiv, which serves the whole world.
We are working towards a long-term, stable, distributed funding strategy. It's trival $$.
Reminder: Research $10^5 journal paper $10^3, preprint $10^1.

I'd also add that in the grand scheme of things it is not a huge cost ($ millions not billions) - there are individual PI labs that operate on a bigger budget. So the community should easily be able to find the resources collectively. It is a rounding error on the research spend. 2/2

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer.
Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

I had a hard time finding women physicists here. So I made a starter pack for #female and #under-represended #minorities in #physics, in short #FURMIP.
Please spread the word and
let me know if you would like to be added.

When does a cryptic crossword become a work of Genius?
A recent Guardian puzzle achieved something that even the paper’s crossword editor thought impossible. And the clue to solving it lay in a Two Ronnies sketch

Why do humans make music? 75 experts launched a study to find out--and each of them sang a song that they analyzed together. Here's my story (and some tunes!) 🧪 Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2024/05/15/s...
Why Do People Make Music?
In a new study, researchers found universal features of songs across many cultures, suggesting that music evolved in our distant ancestors.
