“We analyzed the DNA sequence of the protein in slow loris venom, discovering that it's virtually identical to the allergenic protein on cats."

* CATS ARE 'VENOMOUS' to a subset of humans, 15-20% of the human population. *

Let's talk about cat allergen, Felis domesticus protein 1 (Fel d 1)

Somehow I hadn’t seen this before. Loads of useful info. And just like that, I just spent a chunk of my Friday evening absorbed by it. Great use I would say! 🤓

Super interesting article about valuing ecological field work more - both by academia and funding agencies. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Welcome to Bluesky SETAC's @prairienorthernchapter.org!

I've just realized that I've been here for a year and a half and have barely shared any of the #Manitoba tourism posters I've done. I started making them as a personal project a few years ago and add a couple more every year when I have the time.

Here is a thread!! #art #landscape #CANartist

Remember that type 1 and type 2 errors go the same order as the boy who cried wolf.
Type 1 - villagers believed there was a wolf (effect) when there wasn't.
Type 2 - villagers didn't believe there was a wolf (effect) when there was.

Killer kitties: a reminder that cats play a major role in wiping out wildlife. How?

By killing literally *billions* of native animals every year, driving numerous extinctions. 🌍

Cats are NOT 'part of nature'. If you must have one, keep it indoors.

The strain on scientific publishing: we set out to characterise the remarkable growth of the scientific literature in the last few years, in spite of declining growth in total scientists. What is going on?

Now that the science Twitter family is joining us over here, all the @bodegacats.bsky.social 🐈pictures are getting diluted in my timeline… I must say, however, that the cat dilution is completely worth it! Welcome friends!

Only #academia is capable of the degree of stonewalling where your comment on a paper comes out 3 years after the original article, by which point no one cares anymore.

In this new paper, we found a wide range of pesticides in stormwater ponds across a gradient in urban intensity. We also found several of these pesticides accumulated in biofilm. This presents a risk to wetland biota living in stormwater ponds feeding on biofilm. doi.org/10.1016/j.sc...
