I agree completely. After many trial and error experiments with diverse reporting and presentation classes Quarto changed my workflow as much as R years ago. And, it's getting better and better 📈

Antibiotic resistance is not only a clinical issue. A new study shows that antibiotic-resistant genes can be found in aquatic environments, particularly in wastewater treatment plant effluent and in urban water bodies. Even remote lakes are affected. 👉 www.igb-berlin.de/en/news/urba...

Urban water bodies are heavily contaminated with antibiotic-resistant bacteria

The consequences of summer storms extend far beyond the moment: a large-scale experiment has shown that they can also trigger cyanobacteria blooms in deep, clear lakes. As climate change accelerates, this poses an underestimated risk to ecologically valuable lakes: www.igb-berlin.de/en/news/no-c...

An interesting paper for all friends of Daphnia, including researchers from the German Limnological Society @dgl-ev.bsky.social

🌞❄️ Article of the Day: High-mountain Daphnid from the tropical Andes face a double threat as warming and UV radiation together reduce survival despite their natural pigmentation defenses. This study shows that combined stressors, not single factors, shape the fate of these cold-adapted zooplankton.
