One of the world’s longest-running experiments has been going for 144 years!
In 1879, botanist William Beal wanted to study how long buried seeds would remain viable. He buried bottles w different seeds in a secret spot on Michigan State's campus.
Every 20 yrs, a small group scientists dig up the bottles & seeds continue to germinate 🌱 (My husband @DavidLowry is the one on the right).
The paper from their last dig is now out so this #science story is back in the news. yahoo.com/news/discovery-insid…

I often think of this 1987 paper:
“Homology” in Proteins and Nucleic Acids: A Terminology Muddle and a Way out of It.
“Homology” has the precise meaning in biology of “having
a common evolutionary origin,” but it also carries the loose
meaning of “possessing similarity or being matched.” Its
rampant use in the loose sense is clogging the literature
on protein and nucleic acid sequence comparisons with
muddy writing and, in some cases, muddy thinking.

At the State of the Word address this week, Matt Mullenweg was asked about support for the plugin, and he commented that less than 5,000 sites had installed it. So he wasn't sure how interested people are in it.
So... if you have a WP site, let's start installing that plugin and making more sites available via ActivityPub! 😀

Unknown parent • • •@clew I'm not sure about the first question.
Very few folks know the location of the seeds (I don't) and they dig them up in the middle of the night with headlamps so that onlookers won't be there. I expect someone must be consulted when it comes to new buildings, but perhaps David knows more.
