For the evolutionary microbiologists in your life - I am looking to hire a post-doctoral fellow! Research topics are quite open, including evolution of antimicrobial resistance, pathogen surveillance, and experimental evolution.

“It was amazingly quiet in the launch control center. You could feel the focus of the team, the intensity of the moment.”

#Artemis I launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson recalls the last couple minutes before liftoff of the @NASA_SLS rocket during today’s @NASASTEM event:
#NASAArtemis #Artemis



Live soon, minus technical difficulties (probably) #KingdomHearts

Turns out that day-calling #crickets (as opposed to night-calling species) tune their #chirps to avoid the same #bandwidth as other nosy #insects (like #cicadas). We know #birds do this type of thing ("#acoustic #niche partitioning"). Interesting to see it in insects.

Title: The #circadian calling activity of a lebinthine cricket with high-frequency calls is unaffected by cicada choruses in the day

Would you go on a spacewalk?

Astronauts @AstroDuke and @Astro_Wakata would, and they're doing their first one on Jan. 20 to prepare the @Space_Station for new power upgrades. Our livestream starts at 7am ET (1200 UTC): youtu.be/M26s9nfQ7DA

Iconfactory has discontinued Twitterrific. "We are sorry to say that the app's sudden and undignified demise is due to an unannounced and undocumented policy change by an increasingly capricious Twitter." This makes me *so* mad. blog.iconfactory.com/2023/01/t…


ABSOLUTE, 100%, BINGO!
Have You Tried Turning It Off and On Again: Rethinking Tech Regulation and Creative Labor by Cory Doctorow

"No one listens to a song because they loved the record executive who signed the performer’s royalty statement or read a book because they wanted to reward the hard work of the lawyer who drafted the author’s contract. A copyright system that makes intermediaries richer and creative workers poorer is indefensible."

I just started the process to delete my Twitter account because of this. I use it to follow interesting people/areas, but I 100% will not use the app or site if this is how its going to be.

It astonishes me how few people realize Elon Musk is only doing exactly what he said he'd do if he bought Twitter: he's burning it to the ground. Hr said he'd only buy Twitter to shut it down, but we're also getting a free show out of it.


Twitterrific has been discontinued. 🫡 Goodnight, sweet bluebird. blog.iconfactory.com/2023/01/t…

@GeorgeCheney I highly recommend this book. I did a first read on vacation this summer. I plan on going back for a more thorough read.
in reply to Steve E

@steveediger @GeorgeCheney I recommend it too! It is full of subtle insights and really instructive cases. A really wonderful gift to the movement.

Re-reading a excellent paper by @ariskatzourakis on Maverick/Polinton mobile elements:

Phylogenomics of the Maverick Virus-Like Mobile Genetic Elements of Vertebrates

Nicely underscores the emerging importance of large DNA transposons/EVEs in eukaryotic evolution

"We conclude that vertebrate Mavericks form an ancient lineage of aquatic dsDNA viruses which are probably still functional in some vertebrate lineages."
