Sending this to university IT the next time they complain about the computers being used with old equipment
Delta, United, American Airlines flights are all grounded right now.
The reason Southwest is not affected is because they still run on Windows 3.1.

OMG @Nature just retracted one of the Verfaillie papers @UMNews, 4.5 years after I reported it.
And without letting me know 🤨

Symbiotic powder stretching arms 🙋♂️
Some lichens propagate by jointly packing a few algal symbionts in a fungal wrap so small to appear as a powder to the naked eye. After dispersal, they start growing fungal arms to embrace new grounds #lichens #soredia #symbiosis #cultures

En un artículo espléndido, Lazcano devela la estatua de Mendel a través de un recorrido por los genetistas rusos partidarios de la genética mendeliana y sus trágicos desencuentros con una ciencia impuesta por la dictadura soviética.

Thailand deadly phytoplankton apocalypse currently unfolding. My fiction novel A New Earth was based on this scenario, developing on a global scale - now increasingly becoming our horrifying reality. This could wipe out all marine life #ClimateCrisis #ecology #amwriting

Tips for success in #academia:
* Don't aim for perfect. Or good. Or accurate. Just publish
* Don't do what you think matters, do what gets funded
* Don't be interdisciplinary
* Don't criticise anyone's work, even if it's baaad
* Don't be a woman, or black, or (worst of all) both

🔴ROBERT CAPA,
EL MEJOR FOTOPERIODISTA DE LA HISTORIA,
NO EXISTIÓ.
Y su fotografía más icónica,
Muerte de un miliciano, casi tampoco.
Va hilo sobre una de las mujeres
más valerosas del s. XX.
Se llamaba Gerda Taro y ella sí existió.⬇️

We should be proud of ourselves! We communicate science in a foreign language 💪This is an extra level of challenge that we overcome every time we give a presentation, write a paper, and talk with native speakers 🗣️✍️👩🏫
How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences.

The scene you are witnessing, captured with an AmScope T490B microscope and an iPhone, has been zoomed in 80 times and it's about 10 mm. It contains a tardigrade riding a volvox
