Wonderful essay by @vincentflora and Assaf Vardi on viruses in the ocean
Viral infection in the ocean—A journey across scales
"Aquatic virology tackles some of the most challenging questions in microbial ecology and oceanography, trying to understand how microorganisms that are invisible to the naked eye can influence large-scale processes, such as biogeochemical cycles, or affect entire marine food webs."

Viral infection in the ocean—A journey across scales
Viruses are the most abundant biological entity in the ocean. This Essay journeys across several orders of magnitude of biological organization, time, and space, to investigate interactions between hosts and viruses in the ocean and their relevance f…journals.plos.org
Isolation and infection cycle of a polinton-like virus virophage in an abundant marine alga
This is an important study that shows how #virophage have evolved multiple times independently in distinct viral groups. Turns out that #viruses infecting other viruses are quite common!
Also gotta love the opening sentence: "Eukaryotic genomes are a hub where viruses and selfish genetic elements convene" - so true.
Amazing work by the @BejaLab lab!

Nazis are literally banned in Germany so I'd been wondering how Twitter 2.0's strategy of unbanning the Nazis as a growth hack would play there.
It turns out it doesn't and the company just got hit with its first lawsuit for not enforcing German laws.

Nature is full of surprises. Meet Costasiella kuroshimae, an adorable species of sea slug known as “leaf sheep.”
At no more than 8mm, these tiny ocean critters graze on algae & keep chloroplasts in their bodies for up to 10 days. They supplement their diet through photosynthesis to create energy, which is why they’re sometimes referred to as “solar-powered sea slugs.” bbc.com/travel/article/2021032… #nature #science #SharedPlanet
Awesome.
/i:We need to find a way to introduce the pertinent genes of the sea slugs into cows, including gills, so as to offset their enormous #methane footprint./i 😉

Space flight as with aviation learns from its mistakes. Had Apollo 1 not happened, and the lessons learned, there could have been a far more significant failure in flight.
