There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”

“A single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and still cost $1 trillion less than the system it would replace, according to a new preprint study led by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health.” ysph.yale.edu/news-article...

"Plant immunity research must start focusing on how pathogens respond to immunity, not just how plants deploy it." Fully agree. Nice to see our previous data helping make the case 😄 Always happy to help if anyone wants to set up a system like this! www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Bacteria under ETI enter reversible stasis - not death. A dormancy driven by osmotic stress. This isn't just a detail. Plant immunity research must start focusing on how pathogens respond to immunity, not just how plants deploy it.

Plant adaptation to inorganic phosphate (Pi) limitation entails extensive developmental and metabolic reprogramming, collectively termed the phosphate starvation response (PSR). How plants balance nut...

New preprint. Effector-driven extracellular niche establishment (EDEN) involves water-soaking. We asked if apoplastic water accumulation has an effect on the plant immune response. @charlesrleveillee.bsky.social @s-gauthier.bsky.social @ilafores.bsky.social y.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Atypical immunity induced by extracellular water in plants

Microbial pathogens require nutrients and water to support their growth and proliferation. Pathogen-mediated resource acquisition is orchestrated by the secretion of virulence factors that have evolve...

A massive update: At least ~15 companies~ are selling scientists antibodies using faked validation data. We've documented 18,000+ manipulated images on 17,000+ products sold by leading laboratory suppliers including Thermo Fisher, Abcam, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Millipore Sigma and Bio-Techne. 1/🧵

Very happy that our paper Obligate cross-feeding of metabolites is common in soil microbial communities just came out in Nature Microbiology. See here 👇 Paywalled version: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Free read-only version: rdcu.be/fBHAb

Cultivation-dependent techniques, computational analyses and genome-scale metabolic models show widespread amino acid auxotrophies, suggesting that soil microorganisms exist within integrated ecologic...

This is what I think of when colleagues presume they are being responsible scientists by informing us they used AI for writing articles/chapters. 😬 *Don't use the fasho plagiarizing machine, ffs*

In case you are an academic who is currently being gaslit into believing that you're a caveman who wants their students to be jobless if you resist allowing AI in your classrooms... I present to you Berkeley Law's response, which can be summarized as "Fuck off directly into the sun."

Just had someone ask me why I was not on X. It is an ethical decision. It is a moral decision. Elon Musk is a monster. To give him or his products any traffic or business is an ethical and moral failing given the incredible amount of data that shows his abuses upon the world.

So we know AI helped a negligible number of students. But how many did it harm? I've crunched the raw data provided by the lead researcher, and what I've found is that ~9,500 students using AI studied less than even the *least* studious, non-AI using student. This should shock the conscience.

Both the Economist and others suggest this study demonstrates that AI can help students. So I contacted the lead researcher to figure out how many. Answer: Out of ~26,000 kids, a total of 20. And five months after starting to use AI, only four continued to spend 65 minutes on homework. Four.

This statement by UEFA on FIFA attempting to sell off the World Cup gave me goosebumps, what a statement - the beautiful game deserves no less “As so long as Europe has a voice, it will never be for sale.”

US Courts… ‘The Anthropic copyright case set the precedent — the US court ruled that by making a digital copy and destroying the physical in a one-for-one transfer, the process is deemed “transformative” and therefore protected by fair use.’ Unbelievable and unconscionable
