Explore ~14 billion years of time in this fascinating graphical summary of events from the Big Bang to the present day by talented artist Pablo Carlos Budassi.

Beginning at center of the spiral, every billion years is represented by a 90-degree stretch, with the exception of the last 500 million years represented as the last 90-degree stretch for greater detail. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/nature-timespiral-the-evolution-of-earth-from-the-big-bang/ #art #science

Extra #centrosomes are initially anti-#tumorigenic but why?
Irmina Garcia-Carpio, Andreas Villunger et al find that through #PIDDosome activation, they not only induce #p53 responses, but also #NFkB signaling to increase #immunogenicity of cancer cells

Look closely. No, closer, really. Can you see the construction workers? This will give you an idea of just how massive ESO's Extremely Large #Telescope will be 🤯

This #photo was taken just a few days ago at the construction site in Cerro Armazones in #Chile.

'These findings suggest that an ancestral cRFXa homolog coordinated #ciliogenesis in the progenitors of animals and #choanoflagellates and that the selective deployment of the RFX regulatory module may have been necessary to differentiate ciliated from non-ciliated cell types during early animal evolution.'

'El pasado 23-J —encuestas poselectorales mediante—, una parte de la sociedad española se movilizó para parar la incorporación de Vox al Gobierno de España. Lo hizo conforme, día a día, iba comprobando las consecuencias de los acuerdos de la extrema derecha con la derecha extremada: prohibición de obras de teatro, dirigentes institucionales apartándose de minutos de silencio contra la violencia machista, retirada de banderas LGTBI, antivacunas y negacionistas presidiendo parlamentos autonómicos…'

That goes on the list

'A fun book to dive into is “The Food of Vietnam,” by Luke Nguyen. The chapter about Hanoi serves you delicious introductions to the city’s most treasured dishes, such as cha ca (traditional fish cakes), bun cha (noodles with grilled meat and fried spring rolls), banh cuon (steamed rice crepes) and pho (Vietnamese noodle soup).'

Our new review on "Photobehaviours guided by simple photoreceptor systems" has been published (as author accepted manuscript version).
A synthesis, classification and hopefully a valuable resource, together with Emelie Brodrick.
Also with practical guidelines on how to measure photobehaviour.

#OTD in 1854 #Walden was published. Thoreau's journal entry for that day was uncharacteristically brief:

It's been almost 60 years since the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was discovered, now with strong links to multiple sclerosis other autoimmune conditions, but no vaccine. A step in the right direction today

I am preparing a new course on Spatial Data Science with Python 🐍 (it is slowly coming up here https://martinfleischmann.net/sds/ if you're interested). At the same time, we're creating a new generation of graphs for handling of spatial weights in PySAL (see https://github.com/pysal/libpysal/issues/534 and the ‘geographs' branch there). And since I’d like to teach the new stuff rather than legacy, this GIF precisely captures my workflow 🙃

*** We are hiring! ***

We are looking for a professorial researcher to lead "Health, Migration, Climate Change: Human Stories in Complex Systems" - a project inspired by #ClimateDiary and which I am very keen to build up together with whoever gets this post.

Please share widely and feel free to contact me with any questions
