🧪🔬🧬🎓So #JamesWatson is dead. Should we honor him for his undeniable essential contributions to modern biology?
No because he was an antisemite, a racist, an eugenecist, a sexist who tried to steal the work of #RosalindFranklin without crediting her. A terrible scientist and human being.

The illusion of permanence: 𝐺𝑖𝑛𝑘𝑔𝑜 𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑜𝑏𝑎 has been teasing the planet with its falling leaves since dinosaurs walked the earth some 170 million years ago.
Today it makes #Bern 🐻🇨🇭 look at its best under this lazy autumn sunday.

We are our best when we collaborate. 🧪🦠🔬🧬🌍🍄
This mural about the invisible #soil #biodiversity in Moers(🇩🇪) resulted from the collaboration between my friend Dr. Arne Schwelm, the people from sci:moers and the Stiftung für Umwelt und Entwicklung under the artistic direction of #cokyone.

🧪🦠🖥️🧬🧫🔬 The Roadmap for equitable use of public microbiome data -including the Data Reuse Information Tag (DRI)- by the #DataReuseConsortium.
Must read if you use or produce microbiome data!

Kudos to the Data Reuse Core Team for their hard work!

This wpuld seem like a no-brainer.
Yet the same people having horrible experiences in such journals are the first to suggest it for the next submission. 🤷‍♂️

A team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences led by Cao Xu edited the tomato genome to improve pollination by a robot using AI, who was as good as humans in the task.

An intriguing (or disturbing?) approach raising a lot of questions about food security.

The Plant-Microbe Interactions symposium at #FEMS2025 was a blast! From domestication, to #biocontrol, to #biostimulation and even agriculture in space!
I had such interesting discussions afterwards till exhaustion!
Thanks to Ines Mandic-Mulec for chairing!

Come this Thursday to hear about our work on microbial ecology of 𝐸𝑟𝑤𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑎 𝑎𝑚𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑜𝑟𝑎, with the native species of the apple microbiome 𝐸. 𝑡𝑎𝑠𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑠 and 𝑅𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑏𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑖𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑎 sp. !

Today I've got aching arms!

🇨🇭 A company tied to fascist ideology and promoting US supremacy has no place in Switzerland. #StopPalantir #PalantirRaus aus der Schweiz

🇨🇭 Ein Unternehmen mit faschistischer Ideologie hat in der Schweiz nichts zu suchen. Schon gar nicht eines, das die Vorherrschaft eines anderen Landes fördert.

🐝🌍 I think this #wildbee #nativebee #solitarybee visiting my malva is the resin bee 𝐻𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑠 𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑢𝑚. They nest in dead wood or hollow blackberry stems, and they collect tree resin to make cell walls and close nests.

🐝 This is the only wild solitary bee group I can (almost) always identify: masked bees from genus 𝐻𝑦𝑙𝑎𝑒𝑢𝑠, probably the black masked bee 𝐻𝑦𝑙𝑎𝑒𝑢𝑠 𝑛𝑖𝑔𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑢𝑠.

Ah, and this one summarizes how species richness is scale dependent, how it needs contextualizuation in terms of total individual abundance, and spatial distributions

It seems this tiny one is actually a Square-Headed #Wasp from genus Ectemnius.

If correct, they have huge mandiles and dig nests in dead wood.
