On this day in 1859 English naturalist Charles #Darwin publishes "On the Origin of Species," radically changing the view of #evolution and laying the foundation for evolutionary biology. #otd
In the summer of 1837, Charles Darwin (picture 1)opened a page of his brown leather-bound notebook with the sentence: I think. The page (picture 2) was in the first of four notebooks he had created in London on the question of species change. However, he did not explain what he was thinking in words, but in a fist-sized diagram: a line shoots out from an origin marked with the number ‘1’ and then forks several times. Some branches end in nothingness, while others fan out further and further. In the summer of 1837, Charles Darwin opened a page of his brown leather-bound notebook with the sentence: I think.

Last week, our video on PFAS 'forever chemicals' won a AAAS Kavli Award for Science Journalism!

The project was a massive team effort that took months, so we're grateful to Kavli Foundation for recognizing our work with a Gold Award for Video In-Depth Reporting.

NEW pub in @science.org 🥳

Is it sponges (panels A & B) or comb jellies (C & D) that root the animal tree of life?

For over 15 years, #phylogenomic studies have been divided.

We provide new evidence suggesting that...

New Online! Mechanistic insights into cargo sorting and export from the Golgi apparatus
Mechanistic insights into cargo sorting and export from the Golgi apparatus
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, Published online: 10 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41580-025-00907-3Protein and lipid cargoes are modified and sorted in the Golgi apparatus and packaged for delivery to diverse cellular destinations at the trans-Golgi network (TGN). This Review discusses recent insights into Golgi transport mechanisms and carrier biogenesis at the TGN.

This is cool. An archaeal species with no metabolic genes. Just replicative genes (ribosomes, messenger and transfer RNAs). 238kb genome.

Commercial isothermal fluorimeters are pricey & unsuitable for field work, limiting their use in low-resource settings. @jenny-molloy.bsky.social &co develop an #open-source, #low-cost, portable isothermal #fluorimeter designed for various biotech applications @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3FA7Fmn
The shows an exploded view of the qByte device in the foreground, alongside a smartphone displaying output data app, with a fully assembled unit in the background. qByte is an open-source, 8-tube isothermal fluorimeter developed to address these barriers by offering a cost-effective (∼$60), yet production-ready solution. Its compact form factor, along with compatibility with smartphones and laptops for data readout, makes it well-suited for both laboratory and field use.
