Happy birthday to 🇨🇦Canadian medical researcher & #biochemist Maud Menten (1879-1960). Not only was she an author of Michaelis-Menten equation for #enzyme kinetics, she invented the azo-dye coupling for alkaline phosphatase, 1st example of enzyme #histochemistry, still used in imaging of tissues today & she also performed the first #electrophoretic separation of blood haemoglobin in 1944!

Josh Turner and Dodie's cover of Turn to Stone is charming. The overall video is interesting because they are expressing concerns and disappointments over where we have gone with the Internet. Their poke into the human dimension has moments of real insight.

So, my #microbiology homies, specially those doing #fungi research, are there any blogs, newsletters or mastodon accounts I should be following?
I am now working at a biotech finding useful compounds produced in fungi and want to learn more and keep up to date with what's happening. In the field. #bioinformatics focused but the bio bit is quite important.
Cheers!
My first long run after about 4 weeks of rehab due to achilies injury. It all went uneventful and I'm happy with the results despite much lower pace and elevated HR.

It's tough to find music that can be comforting without being escapist, that fits the moment. Hüma Utku's mix and album for me fit that perfectly. Essential.

Hüma Utku's mixes and productions both delve into marginalia and mysteries of the unknown, the fragile gestures in the shadows. And it seems that's what we need right now.Peter Kirn (CDM Create Digital Music)

An editor from a Springer Nature journal, a company that posted $2.1 billion in revenue in 2022 [1], from an industry with double-digit percent profits (~30% [2]), kindly asked me, an academic in the UK where salaries continue to plummet [3], whether I would be pleased to review a paper for them, for free ... so I kindly asked whether they would consider paying me. It is only logical.

[3] In UK academia, "Pay has fallen significantly in real terms since 2009, as have pension contributions, and redundancies are rife. Short-term contracts and precarious work arrangements are common, especially for younger staff, as universities struggle to balance their books." telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/01/2…

Is the staggeringly profitable business of scientific publishing bad for science?

harmonica is the bee's knees. I always have a couple of instruments dotted around my studio or home office, but yeah sound is not ok everywhere.
Blu-tak or plasticene are great for just fiddling with. I also do string figures: isfa.org/sfotm/sfotm_2013.htm
If you can't tell from this, my energy is a bit manic and fidgets are my punctuation.

Update on the Colorado Age Attestation bill: Everyone that participated in the meeting last week submitted proposed changes to the bill. They included good ideas to improve consumer protection and privacy and exempt open source software.
Sen. Ball responded this morning that they'll now draft potential amendments.
I think we're making good progress. I'm off for a ski weekend with the kids. Have a great weekend everyone!
