A newly discovered bacterium, Uabimicrobium helgolandensis, eats other bacteria and is a kind of 'bacteria of prey,' that should not even exist based on previous concepts about microbial cells. It could be a kind of microbial missing link, researchers suggest.

Just had time to catch up with the news. Before it gets lost in hue and cry about shots fired at the Trump golf course, I urge you to attend to the news of Chief Justice John Robertsโ unusual and aggressive efforts to protect Donald Trump from criminal prosecution. The New York Times broke the store, here nytimes.com/2024/09/15/us/justโฆ (gift link) and the Daily Beast recaps it here flip.it/Wp7VPv .
The reporting doesnโt quite capture the significance of what Roberts did. 1/
Molecular mimicry of a pathogen virulence target by a plant immune receptor (OA)

Gรณmez De La Cruz et al report that a plant NLR has evolved the capacity to bind to a pathogen effector by acting as a molecular mimic of a virulence target of the effector, thereby triggering an immune response.

Recently watched the movie The Fall Guy. LOVED IT! It's a very Jackie Chan style comedy action film. One of the songs they play in the sound track is by The Darkness.

The standard wisdom is that academic careers, especially early, are harmed when academics don't jet around the world for in-person meetings. This article suggests that the importance of this travel is overstated, while the carbon cost is clear.

@Gargron oh yes, I do too miss the physical process very much. I never experienced the adaptive choral/rising soundtrack natively (can't remember now what conditions had to be met,) but every time I think about it/hear it, I get immediately emotional remembering how purely/wholesomely exciting consumer technology was going to be.
...and later, guilty, because I absolutely got to live that genuinely democratizing/freely educating moment and was given *so* much more than I've put back in.
