It's been awhile but newly finished hand knit! Used the #lucyblouse by Louisa Rehkopf to get started with the neckline but the rest is my own #sofiescarf inspired pattern. Used @kaosyarn merino and alpaca, on 3.5 mm needles. #diy #knitting #handknit #knitcardigan #grandmacore #finishedproject

Saw the cutest little bank vole (rødmus; Clethrionomys glareolus) on Saturday! There were actually 2, fighting over territory close to some European vipers.

NSERC - Latest News - Launch of the new Harmonized Tri-agency Scholarship and Fellowship programs
As announced in Budget 2024, the scholarship and fellowship programs administered by the three federal research funding agencies – the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) – have been streamlined into a new harmonized talent program called the Canada Research Training Awards Suite (CRTAS) that will open for applications in summer 2025.

A genome-based phylogeny for Mollusca is concordant with fossils and morphology
Extreme morphological disparity within Mollusca has long confounded efforts to reconstruct a stable backbone phylogeny for the phylum. Familiar molluscan groups—gastropods, bivalves, and cephalopods—e...

A U.S. military base on the Galápagos Islands could harm fragile species and ecosystems, argue the authors of a new #LetterToScience.
Military base threatens Galápagos Islands
In December 2024, the Ecuadorian government, led by President Daniel Noboa, authorized the establishment of a US military base on the Galápagos Islands, a Natural World Heritage Site.

In @nature.com we show that humans lived in rainforests ~150,000 years ago – over double the previous oldest estimate. Their presence in West Africa’s rainforests demonstrates the spread of early humans and places ecological diversity at the heart of our species.

1/ Being an infectious disease expert in the U.S. today feels like standing in the eye of a storm. Science should be our shield, but instead, we’re under attack, our expertise disregarded, our funding slashed, and public health increasingly politicized. 🧵
