Plants produce more nectar when they ‘hear’ bees buzzing, scientists find
Plants produce more nectar when they ‘hear’ bees buzzing, scientists find
Researchers suggest buzzing noises could be used as environmentally friendly way to enhance crop pollination
Plants can “hear” bees buzzing and serve up more nectar when they are nearby, scientists have found.
The research suggests that plants are a more active partner than previously thought in their symbiotic relationship with pollinators. The behaviour could be a survival strategy that favours giving nectar and sugar to bees over so-called nectar robbers that do not offer plants any reproductive benefits. Continue reading...

"The academic structure … makes planning for a family feel like an impossible luxury."
In this #ScienceWorkingLife, two postdocs share how, as women in academia, having children can feel impossible—and how talking about it makes them feel less alone. scim.ag/3F60VMt #InternationalWomensDay

As women in academia, having children can feel impossible. Talking about it makes us feel less alone
The struggle is “balancing their careers not just with motherhood, but with what comes before: relationships and planning for a family,” these postdocs write

Give a group of scientists the same data and the same research question, and they should come up with similar answers—in theory. But they don’t.

Even faced with the same data, ecologists sometimes come to opposite conclusions
Study highlights powerful role subjective choices can play in research, though some critics urge caution about applying findings too broadly
