Wie schlimm war die #Hitzewelle Ende Juni hierzulande? Ich habe das Gefühl, die Berichterstattung wird dem bislang nicht gerecht. Vielleicht hilft dieses Diagramm? Das sind die Sterbefälle für jeden Tag seit Anfang 2020 – in Rot die Kurve für 2026. https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/gvL9c/1/
Ohne das Informationsfreiheitsgesetz wären illegale Maskendeals nie ans Licht gekommen. Genau dieses Recht wollen CDU, CSU und SPD jetzt faktisch abschaffen. Das dürfen wir nicht zulassen. Jetzt unterschreiben: 👇 #IFG weact.campact.de/petitions/sp...

Has Trump called Infantino yet, asking him to overturn the result?
How anyone can still continue with this ridiculous shitshow is beyond my comprehension.

Systemic and Local Regulation of Root Growth by Vascular Trehalose 6‐Phosphate is Correlated With Re‐allocation of Primary Metabolites Between Shoots and Roots
Trehalose 6-phoshpate (Tre6P) consistently regulates root growth, with high Tre6P inhibiting and low Tre6P promoting primary and lateral root growth. It does so by altering the accumulation and alloc...

Gitta Coaker@gittacoaker.bsky.social · last mo.I'm getting more requests for gift authorship lately.

Endlich! Jetzt muss nur noch mal jemand die alten weißen Männer von der Union fragen, warum sie Steinzeitpolitik machen.
Ulrich Hammes@uhammes.bsky.social · last mo.Warum gibt es jetzt keinen ARD Brennpunkt und Fragen an die Gaslobbistenministerin und den Kanzler, wie man angesichts der Temperaturen und des Klimawandels die Alten und Schwachen schützen möchte? Dass die Union nach wie vor am Verbrenner festhält kann man wirklich nur noch mit Dummheit erklären.
Ist der nur dumm oder ist das Vorsatz?

A true giant has left us. Widmar Tanner, a pioneer of plant transporter research, has passed away. He was a brilliant scientist, an outstanding mentor, and simply one of the kindest people one could meet. Rest in peace Widmar, and thank you for everything.

#PlantScienceClassics #21: MS Medium. In 1962 Toshio Murashige & Folke Skoog published their revised plant tissue culture medium @pplplantarum.bsky.social, arguably the most high-cited #PlantScience paper of all time. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 🧪 #PlantDevelopment #PlantMethods
So… I‘ve been reviewing this review and it felt like a „weird“ read. I couldn’t understand the rationale and most references were totally outdated and the conclusions trivial. I wonder now… have I been reviewing an AI hallucination? What to do?
The fact that Americans thought Auxin was a “Hoax from Europe” rightfully got some attention in my latest #PlantScienceClassics post. But it’s actually even funnier if you learn about the context & consequence of White speaking these words to Went at the AAAS Meeting in Pittsburgh. #PlantScience 🧪 🧵
Marc Somssich@somssich.bsky.social · 4mo agoWhen Frits Went once failed to demonstrate the effect of auxin at an AAAS meeting, it was White who loudly declared “that the auxin business was obviously a hoax and that it was high time that these charlatans from Europe were sent back to where they belonged”. An experience that shook Went.
Must read. As usual.
