Wake up plant friends new carnivorous lineage just dropped!
A flowering plant has been confirmed as a new carnivorous lineage, says research in Nature Communications. Findings show Saxifraga candelabrum can attract, trap, & digest insects, and absorb nitrogen from them, supporting prediction made by Charles Darwin: spklr.io/63323EuqgT #Biology 🌾 🧪

Did you know that bugs... is actually shrimp??? Thank you @sarahmackattack.bsky.social for this incredible educational addition to my wardrobe from squidfacts.bigcartel.com I am gonna be telling so many people bugs is shrimp.
Just had an NSF proposal rejected after almost a year pending. One of the reviewers tanked it by not seeing that we had clear documentation for the things they asked for (and that the other reviewers clearly saw). Didn't go to panel though because the NSF is being destroyed.
"NSF employees are now concerned that the $1 billion of withheld funds will not be released. If they are not, the combination of withheld funds and clawbacks would result in funding cuts of more than 30% for most directorates compared with their planned spending for 2025"
New: The National Science Foundation is preparing to claw back some $500 million in funds from some of its core science programs in physics, math, computer science, and engineering in order to fund a project from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
