The evolution of life is intimately linked with the pulse of our planet.

A new geophysical models shows that the breakup of an ancient super-continent called Nuna may have created the conditions that led to the first complex living cells.

Hi everyone, we have updated the author and community pages on our website. Authors can now find curation reports for pathways they started, and Communities can find those too. We hope you like it! https://github.com/wikipathways/wikipathways-help/discussions/203

I imagine that there will be a slightly higher reporting of non-right-handedness in Activity Pub instances,because we think differently.

@cstross

The facts that they were first discovered in #KewGardens, are invasive here too, population maps show them as most prevalent in Scotland, and they like Scotland's cooler climate and garden centres?

Or that the case invented by British naturalist Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward is considered to have been a major enabler of their spread around the planet (carried via samples transported to botanical gardens) during the 19th century?

Sleep tight. (-:

For me there is a striking resemblance between humans trying to do social manipulation and p53 protein theme.

Like carcinogenic viruses, perversion, indoctrination and other problems, people who do power abuses need to fight against safeguards

P53 is often one of the first safeguard with harmful mutation in cancers..

🤒 Why do we actually get a #fever? One reason is that immune cells move faster at higher temperatures. A team led by Stefan Wieser at the Institute of Zoology has now uncovered the molecular mechanism behind this process, with the motor protein myosin II taking center stage.

👀 When’s the last time you saw a #mustelid?

The #weasel, #stoat, and #polecat may be silently disappearing from the Dutch landscape, or are they just hiding? 🐾

Biologists from #GELIFES at the UG are finding out how to monitor these small carnivores. 🔎
