Kat Kerlin@katkerlin.bsky.social · last wk.Some avocados are female in the morning and male in the afternoon, while others are on the opposite schedule. This helps them avoid self-pollination. How do they do it? A @ucdavis.bsky.social study explains. www.ucdavis.edu/food/news/st...
It’d be great if everyone who loved to repeat that stat they heard 10 years ago about the number of coal plants China was allegedly building every week would now pivot to searing this graph just as deeply into their brains

Sonja Boon@storiedselves.bsky.social · 2w agoCanadian arts and culture folks: the federal government has launched a (methodologically flawed) survey on "the Cultural Sector's readiness for Artificial Intelligence".
