FINALS BOUND. Coco Gauff is heading to the Roland Garros final and will face Aryna Sabalenka on Saturday.
Thinking is crucial to do good #science! We are so used to link "working" with "producing" that often we forget that thinking is part of our work! 🧪
Anthony Ricciardi@ecoinvasions.bsky.social · last yr."Thinking time —the time needed to concentrate without interruptions has always been central to scholarly work. It is essential to designing experiments, compiling data, assessing results, reviewing literature and, of course, writing. Yet, [it] is often undervalued." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

New study (2025) shows computer access is the strongest predictor of beneficial internet use, surpassing smartphones & in-home internet. Households with a computer but no internet still fared better than those with internet but no computer; device quality explained additional variance 🧪 #commsky
Albert Einstein died on this day, April 18, 1955. It is incredible to hear Albert Einstein explain his famous formula, E=mc².
Bluesky academics, lets get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren’t working on but keep thinking about 1) Recombination analysis of South African beef cattle 2)PRDM9 role in fertility of populations from African descent 🧪
