Europe is scaling climate adaptation by connecting regions with similar risks.
Over 100 solutions are being tested: from nature-based wildfire barriers to underground flood sensors, so what works can be applied elsewhere: link.europa.eu/xGvq3N 🧪

From floods to wildfires, new ideas are helping Europe adapt to climate extremes
Many people expect a raging wildfire to leave a blackened, lifeless landscape in its wake. But after a blaze swept through Las Hurdes in Extremadura, Spain, in 2009, the scene was quite different. In ...

What has a mouth but cannot speak, a bed but doesn't sleep & cuts a species in two before you can think? Okay yes, our Monday riddle game is bad...but nevertheless check out how two rivers in Argentine Patagonia have acted as physical barriers to rodents of the genus Ctenomys!🌍🧪👇

Abstract. Geographical features can act as barriers to gene flow, promoting isolation, divergence, and ultimately speciation through vicariance. This proce

“You can’t cut cancer out unless you deal with what’s happening in the community.” Harold Freeman turned that idea into action, helping to dramatically reduce cancer mortality in Harlem.

Bringing Research Benefits to the World
In the 1960s, patients with cancer in New York’s Harlem community, which was then poor and predominantly African American, were dying much faster than patients in most other parts of the country. On average, only 39% of Harlem women with breast cancer lived for five years, well below the national average of more than 75%. When

My dissertation has 8 chapters, 5 showing results. Depending on how you count, of those 5 chapters, either 3 or 4 were "side projects". And I didn't even write about all of my side projects. My PhD was basically one long side project.
Do it for the love of the game. ⚗ ️🧪 #AcademicSky #PhDSky

Don't be shy to take on a little two-week side project. These five months will be the most precious three years of your academic journey.

Another really good article published by @asimovpress.bsky.social (in 2024):
@matthewcobb.bsky.social's
"Francis Crick Was Misunderstood"
'The Central Dogma is not a "dogma," and it has never been broken.'
It's really a shame that Asimov Press is going on hiatus. I really liked their longform. 🧪
