This is serious and all the voters should be aware of these plans! We researchers must talk to as many people as possible to make sure that voters understand the severity of the plans. doi.org/10.1038/d415...
Scientists fight back against far-right plans to restrict academic freedom in Germany
With the far-right Alternative for Germany leading in polls for national and state elections, institutions are facing up to proposed restrictions on academic freedom.

Sequential origin of an alternative colony founding strategy driven by two supergenes in Temnothorax ants
Abstract. Recent discoveries reveal that many complex intraspecific polymorphisms are shaped by a single supergene that maintains coadapted genetic variant
