Science condemns itself to failure when... it aspires to attain being... and to possess it; but it finds its truth if it considers itself a free engagement of thought in the given, aiming, at each discovery, not at fusion, but at the possibility of new discoveries. -De Beauvoir

me: minding my own business shopping for yoga shorts with a phone pocket Americans on Amazon:
Screenshot of Amazon user Q asking whether a small handgun would fit in the yoga short pocket. Another Amazon user answering one hundred percent seriously that yes it would work for concealing a small pistol.

Postdoc Petra Vande Zande’s Science paper from her PhD with @twittkopp is out today: science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Pleiotropic effects of trans-regulatory mutations on fitness and gene expression

The pleiotropic effects of cis- and trans-regulatory mutations affecting expression of the TDH3 gene in baker’s yeast are explored.

Really proud to share this preprint on the nomenclature and visual guide of Drosophila female terminalia. Led by past grad student @evo_dva! I remember so many times dissecting adults for various reasons and not knowing what on earth I was looking at😱 preprints.org/manuscript/202…

A Standardized Nomenclature and Atlas of the Female Terminalia of Drosophila melanogaster

The model organism Drosophila melanogaster has become a focal system for investigations of rapidly evolving genital morphology as well as the development and functions of insect reproductive struct...

This manuscript is a follow up to an article which tackled the same problem for the male genitalia in D. mel! In case you missed it, that work is published in the journal Fly, here: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/ar…

Many thanks to all of the members of the consortium for contributing your expertise to this effort. It was an absolute pleasure working with this fantastic group (genitalia researchers are the most fun). We hope that the community will find this resource useful for years to come!

Inuit hunters set up a blockade last week of the airstrip and access road at the Mary River open-pit iron ore mine on Baffin Island, Nunavut. The Oakville, Ontario-based owners of the mine have now filed an injunction against the blockade. More on this at pbicanada.org/2021/02/10/inu…
