Malpighian tubules are one of the most successful organs on earth 🌏 🌍 🌎

The majority of animals have them. Doesn't matter: biomass? total species? total population? Got 'em.

To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."

A reminder to submit your symposium proposal for the 3rd Joint Congress on Evolutionary Biology, to be held in Montreal in July 2024. The Joint Congress will bring together researchers from the European Society for Evolutionary Biology, the Society for the Study of Evolution, the American Society of Naturalists, and the Society of Systematic Biologists.

Mary Frances Winston Newson was born #OTD in 1869.

She became the first female American to receive a PhD in mathematics from a European university, namely the University of Göttingen in Germany. She was also the first person to translate Hilbert's problems into English.

Hilbert put forth a most influential list of 23 unsolved problems at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris in 1900. via @wikipedia
