Advertising late: our pre-print on transcriptional acclimation to warming of an alpine herb is on @biorxivpreprint
We found that tolerant plants downregulate photosynthesis and upregulate mRNA processing pathways.
It's still under review in Mol Ecol

If you are supervising an international student who is trying to write in their non-native language - tell them how awesome they are. They often feel incompetent, frustrated and even stupid. In reality they're really smart - just doing something very complicated. Tell them.

@loukesio Thank you, Loukas. Eventually I used zotero. By LLM you mean large language models? Unfortunately, I don't have experience with them 😕

Maybe I am doing this wrong, but I wrote an R script to automatically download hundreds of papers for a systematic review, only to find out that many publishers block this even though the paper is open access. How can we make life easier for whoever wants to do a review?

70 years ago, a woman discovered the structure of DNA.

But 2 Cambridge men stole her work and won the Nobel Prize.

She was erased from history and died of cancer.

Here’s how the biggest theft in science buried Rosalind Franklin’s name in history… 🧵u

I don't know why so many Americans have this idea that Germans all feel guilty about WWII. I don't know anyone my generation or even my parents' generation who feels this way. I think this is a story that Americans are telling themselves.

What is true is that at least the Germans I know feel a responsibility to make sure what happened in Nazi Germany doesn't happen again, not here, and not anywhere else. I certainly do.

This is why we are scared by what we see happening in the United States. The concentration of power, the streamlining of opinions, the normalization of evil, and the populism to excuse it. These are all warning signs we were taught to recognize.

Americans have this idea that the Holocaust happened in Germany because something is especially wrong with Germans. We're just somehow especially evil. This is why the bad guys in Hollywood movies are always Germans. This is why they make jokes about our supposedly military sounding language.

I strongly disagree. What happened in Germany could have happened anywhere. It's just that Hitler was the first to exploit this weakness. He was a master of mass manipulation (probably strongly influenced by Le Bon's "The Crowd" -- worth a read if you don't know it).

Now we have new masters of mass manipulation. And of course Germans worry about it.

Don't confuse what we feel is our responsibility with guilt.

Yes, ugh, "responsibility". That sounds terribly German, doesn't it. I'm sure you read this wiz a Schermen eksent.

No, I'm not proud to be German. Why would I? I didn't do anything for it, I just happen to have been born to two Germans. But I am glad I am German because all things considered it's a good country.

But if it was possible to just identify as Earthling and not belong to any country, that's what I'd want to be.
