Based on Copernicus satellite data, Finland and Sweden are essentially one big forest, while the reforestation efforts on the British Isles seem to still have a long road ahead.

Happy new year, fly folks!

Here is a new methods paper from my friend (and very talented postdoc) Federica Mangione. She describes how she manages to photoablate single cells in the Drosophila pupal epidermis or in developing tactile bristles without damaging the neighbouring cells.

Enjoy!

I am a little nervous about this, but...

I'm ready to open up DataPipe for beta testing. DataPipe is a service that will send data from your behavioral experiments to the OSF, for free.

Don't use this for critical data collection yet. It might have unexpected outages during this final round of pre-release development. But, if this is something you might be interested in using once it is ready for stable use, please try it out and let me know what can be better.

If you're not part of the solution you don't mix well with the other substances.

Hey friends - I am in Antarctica with extremely slow and limited internet and I have a book coming out this year that I'd normally be posting more about because pre-orders are *critical* to a book's success.

Help me get the word out?

OUT THERE: THE SCIENCE BEHIND SCI-FI FILM AND TV

From black holes to space elevators and extraterrestrial civilizations, this is a rich and beautifully illustrated book for your coffee table. And astronaut Mae Jemison wrote the Foreword!

Life as an academic scientist would be infinitely better if there were hard money permanent positions for technicians and programmers.

It has been over a decade since a student was enrolled in a #botany degree in the UK.

Experts believe there has been a gradual erosion of knowledge about plants among biology graduates and the general public as a result.

Interesting publication in @Antiquity on the distribution of #Cats based on #dna from #archaeological contexts

https://doi.org/10.15184/aqy.2022.128

The results seem preliminary and I am curious to see more results from this interesting project.

Happy to announce this pub, which is the culmination of last 10 years of my career beginning as far back as my MSc🎓
We find that #antimicrobialpeptides are evolved to control specific #microbiome bacteria. This example is a textbook case of host #immune #evolution being shaped by the microbiome 🦠

@cyrilpedia and re why it works in mice/macaques and not in humans, this is frustrating but probably also an explanation worth pursuing. Certainly there are cross species differences but durability of mucosal immune responses is difficult to achieve in all; one thing I wonder about in this study is if *local* B and Tfh responses are transiently induced and then fade, or not induced at all.
