Great talk yesterday by Dr Igna Conti-Jerpe about the ecology and evolution of nutritional mutualisms. She's working with researchers to explore nutrional mutualisms in corals, giant clams, lichens and plants. Very ambitious stuff.

Time for, well, not a distraction so much as a palate cleanser: a truly phenomenal shot from Hubble of a galaxy that is rippling like a pond that had a rock tossed in it… because that's what happened! Kinda.
And YES you want to grab the hi-res version.

INCREDIBLE and spectacular Hubble image of a galaxy that got whacked by another galaxy
The collision caused easily visible multiple rings of stars to ripple outward

I've been getting involved with #HongKong dolphin watch. They're an #ecotourism group taking tours out to see the HK pink dolphins in their natural environment, educating the tour groups about the threats they face and advocating for their protection. These are photos from 07.02.2025.

This seems like a good time to re-up this take down of another recent attempt to tech-dredge words like “diversity” for political purposes. This kind of text-mining is very hard and they are very bad at it (sledgehammer, etc). academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...
