'A comprehensive evaluation of taxonomic classifiers in marine vertebrate eDNA studies'
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20…
We realised there are not many papers evaluating taxonomic classifiers in marine vertebrate contexts, and none that use simulations or exclusion databases to measure false positives.
So we designed a bunch of simulations for commonly used primers of 12S, 16S, COI, and evaluated a whole bunch of classifiers on these datasets.

i just got crash blossomed by this headline
i know nothing about kristen stewart and assumed it was a quote about there being too many queer movies or something?
i parsed it like
the era of queer films being "so pointedly only" that is done
which makes no sense, but could be interpreted as "the era where all films have to be queer is over"
which still makes no sense, because we are sadly not in an era where all films are queer, but... 🤷♀️
Kristen Stewart on Queer Films: Don't Want to Stand on a Soapbox
While discussing her new film 'Love Lies Bleeding,' Kristen Stewart said she thinks the era of queer films 'being so pointedly only that is done.'Ellise Shafer (Variety)
@victor
she's saying:
the era of queer films being so pointedly only that ("that" being a queer film, to the exclusion of all other themes) is done
i.e. the era of queer films that are just queer films and not, say, queer action films, or queer drama films, is over

~100 more Starlink v1 satellites will be burning up in the upper atmosphere in the next 6 months, bringing up the total number of de-orbited Starlink satellites to ~500 out of 6000 launched

De-orbiting satellites by burning them up did work when the volume of satellites was small, but already 10% of aerosol particules in the stratosphere contain aluminum/other metals.
