Every week, I check the CDC's Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Report. This week for the first time in its 60 years it was not published on schedule. American healthcare workers all over the country are less informed about health crises that affect their patients. CDC led reports matter a 🧵

👇🏽this is 2 hrs on #Jupiter compressed… my best video yet!😎🤩
Watch the Great Red Spot rotate in & out from our perspective, Io (right) and Ganymede (left) in their orbit
The best part? In the first frame, Ganymede is in a partial phase as it has just emerged.. that’s Jupiter’s shadow!

Do you want an EMS-like drug that you can easily use in your lab or your garden shed to generate structural variation in your favorite plant? We show here that the topo2 inhibitor & common chemotherapy drug etoposide works really well to generate structural variation .
A simple method to efficiently generate structural variation in plants
Phenotypic variation is essential for the selection of new traits of interest. Structural variants, consisting of deletions, duplications, inversions, and translocations, have greater potential for ph...
