Another day, another wonder;
Archea parasite with a circular genome of only 238Kbp (!) found within a dinoflagellate.
It only encodes for replicative machinery: can replicate but not sustain itself, making that line between life and non-life blurry! What a life

It's hard to describe how amazing this conference has been, the final day had everything including a wedding, a boxing match and a great performance of Y.M.C.A. Thanks to all the organizers @woodstocknightsci.bsky.social, this has been a once-in-a-lifetime event!

Nobody apparently dared to take a picture but it's true.

@odedrechavi.bsky.social says he wants to change science for the better.
How? I’m still not quite sure. But 1.5 days into #TCTeAC, the plan seems to involve, among other things, walk-up songs, jumping, dancing, and a hefty serving of joy.

Teeth first evolved as sensory tissue in the armored exoskeletons of ancient fish, fossil scans find
