In order to stay hydrated, sea snakes drink a thin layer of fresh water that collects on the surface of the ocean, called a "lense", after rain storms and do not drink sea water as previously thought [read more: ow.ly/3gS750vBo7u]

A small membrane-bound protein called MspA is necessary for the stability of the S. aureus membrane. Without it, S. aureus can’t secrete cytolytic toxins, protect itself from many aspects of the innate immune system & control iron homeostasis. #IAIJournal skyw.io/He7P0a

It's a brilliant idea. In the tropics we have an excess of coconut shells all over the place. This would be a good use for them.

Excited to share our work on a new choano species. Colonies rapidly and reversibly change shape in a manner reminiscent of animal morphogenesis in response to light: "Light-regulated collective contractility in a multicellular choanoflagellate" biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

How scientists have been able to observe the speed at which death spreads across a cell once the so-called self-destruct “trigger wave” has been initiated. Death moves at around 30 micrometers per minute or 2 millimeters an hour ow.ly/7E9y30oFdL9

"For me, there is an ineffable energy that emanates from places that have themselves become abandoned or forgotten, and once attuned, one becomes a conduit through which places are given voice, and words come to me almost unbidden." @The_Learned_Pig thelearnedpig.org/the-land-i…

(un)Natural Selection. Race between 2 species of pigmented bacteria. In the middle is a hurdle containing the antibiotic Cloxacillin. Purple "jumps" it as it is multiply antibiotic resistant, Red stalls as it is sensitive. Red though will soon evolve resistance to resume racing
