Hidden inside every growing hypha lies a microscopic powerhouse — the #Spitzenkörper.
It’s not just a blob at the fungal tip — it’s the traffic controller, architect, and GPS of fungal growth. 🍄
This video will uncover how this mysterious vesicle cluster orchestrates the very architecture of life beneath our feet.

Trump administration cuts funding to minority-serving colleges. What does this mean for Philly-area schools?

The U.S. Department of Education announced it would reallocate funding to programs that “do not include discriminatory racial and ethnic quotas and that advance Administration priorities."
The move is expected to affect hundreds of colleges that serve large numbers of students from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education.

I am from the netherlands and see some serious educational value in this. For one: Getting a sense of how ridiculously dominant windmills must have been in real 18th century netherlands skyline too. And not just for polders.
It certainly puts into perspective the complaints about modern energy windmills 'polluting' the landscape.
Will the remaing few also be a touristist attraction in 200 years time, I wonder ?

Texas Lawmakers Want a Charter School Network to Stop Paying Its Superintendent Nearly $900K. The School Board Says No.
—

The rebuke from lawmakers and charter school leaders came after an investigation from ProPublica and The Texas Tribune revealed that Salvador Cavazos, who oversees fewer than 1,000 students, is among the most well-paid superintendents in the country.

Featured story: "The conservative campaign to harass the libs out of academia has already sent a chill through #Texas’ world-class public universities, making professors and administrators so fearful of setting off the lunatics in charge at the Capitol that they censor themselves—in scholarship or in their communications with students and the public."

The right's cries for "ideological diversity" sound fair to well-meaning people who believe in good-faith debate as a way to arrive at the truth. But truth is not the goal here; the goal is power.

#Introduction

The word “invasivore” is a portmanteau combining “invasive Species” with the Latin root “devorare” meaning to swallow (as in "herbivore" or “carnivore”). Thus, #invasivore = one who eats invasive species, those organisms that have been introduced around the world and cause massive environmental and economic damages.

Our website invasivore.org/ serves a buffet of knowledge about #invasivespecies. At the core of our approach are #recipes featuring invasive ingredients, but we also provide species profiles describing notorious invaders, harvesting tips, exposition and commentary on related topics, summaries of relevant #science and #research, and roundups (#InvasionBites!) of the latest #news and other media about invasive species.

We believe that #education and #awareness can decrease the impacts of invasions by controlling existing populations and preventing new introductions.

invasivore.org | consuming invasive species and invasion science

The word “invasivore” comes from combining “Invasive Species” with the latin for “devour” as in “carnivore”. Thus invasivore = one who eats invasive species and invasion science.
