BREEDING LEANER SALMON COULD PAY OFF FOR THE INDUSTRY A new study from @nofima shows that #salmon can be bred to use feed more efficiently. Calculations suggest that this could save the Norwegian #salmon industry more than €100 million a year. @UK_NSC https://t.co/1QUn0Ix7dx

In #G3journal, @HelleBaalsrud et al. show massive genomic rearrangements and low conservation in how Mucor circinelloides fungi strains regulate genes under calcium stress, suggesting why they produce oils & pigments differently. https://t.co/hNGlsWyJX5

Wooden Barrel Tapping
📍Munich, Germany 🇩🇪

German Beers: https://t.co/43HFHSR72G

In Bavaria, beer is often served straight from traditional wooden barrels. The tapping of a fresh keg, called Anstich, is a celebrated moment in Munich’s beer halls, especially when it’s Augustiner, one of the city’s oldest breweries.

Borgund Stave Church in Norway was built sometime between 1180 and 1250 AD.

It's part of of a group of medieval churches almost only present in Scandinavia, built with wood only and without using a single nail
