With all the sun we had in Paris, I want to share pics I took of two birds I strongly associate with spring and summer.

The International Day of Women and Girls in Science is always a bittersweet one: it is time for awareness of the benefits of gender equality to advance science, but when we are promoting scientific careers... what careers are those?

Between 2019 and 2023, researchers paid $8.968 billion to make papers open access. Imagine what else could be done with this money if it wasnt paid to for profit publishing companies...

"the factors predicting high ages in regions around the world consist of a lack of birth certificates, high poverty levels, and fewer 90-year-olds. [...] shoddy paperwork and pension fraud [...] are better explanations for blue zones than anything else."

The Longevity Hot Spots That Weren’t
Our culture has become obsessed with “blue zones,” where people purportedly live longer. But does the underlying research stand up to scrutiny?

Their DNA survives in diverse populations across the world – but who were the Denisovans?
The discovery of a finger bone in a cave in Siberia some 15 years ago kicked off a race to unravel the mysteries of an entirely new group of humanoids.

My friend @chrischirp.bsky.social pointed out I can't just lazily paste links to a paper of interest without any explanation! We all buy into gut microbiota shaping immune populations and programmes, but this study adds huge granularity, by anatomical region and subset
