Common blue butterfly. I think I saw more of these today in a scraggly bit of park in Modena than I’ve seen in my whole life in the UK!

Don't know how the football gods are feeling, but the weather gods are pro-Wolverine today: cloudy, gray, windy, a slice of November in late summer. Running game weather, you know?

Not entirely unexpected, if a bit scary reaction to insane medication prices: make your own medicine using AI-designed synthetic recipes and micro-labs. One may ask if you can really trust them but then if the choice is between a risky but available medicine and none at all, what would you choose? 🧪

August Kekulé was born #OTD in 1829 🎂

As well as being one of the few people whose name reveals that they were an overdue baby, Kekulé is best known for his work on benzene's structure.

Concerning to hear that there has been a human case of bird flu with no known animal contact. Hopefully this is a one off but shows the need for vigilance 🧪

This study is getting the type of news coverage that makes ecologists cringe. Yes, bats are critical for ecosystem services, especially biological control. Yes, pesticide use has human health impacts. But this study shows correlations, not cause-and-effect 🌏🧪 www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Loss of bats to lethal fungus linked to 1,300 child deaths in US, study says
Because bats feed on crop pests, their disappearance led to a surge in pesticide use. Research found a rise in infant mortality in areas where the bats had been wiped out

We are completing the 1st week of September. The cooling load likely peaked in July & is ramping down as we head into fall. Will September be the first month when we see a mix of heating & cooling load on the heat pump? Even so, we will use less energy than we did on 100% gas. 🧪🔌💡

One of the coolest discoveries of the last 50 years was that mitochondria arose as bacteria engulfed by a probably archaeal host. Mitochondria originally had a full bacterial genome, but subsequently most of the genes were lost, with many essential genes transferred to the host for import. 1/2 🧪
'Here, we introduce the mitogenome of Mantamonas sphyraenae, a protist from the deep-branching CRuMs supergroup. Remarkably, it boasts the most gene-rich mitogenome outside of jakobids, by housing 91 genes, including 62 protein-coding ones. '
