@ChicoduSud @sleguilFR @AcadSciences On l'oublie souvent, mais les arbres respirent, comme la plupart des autres êtres vivants. Ils émettent donc du CO2. Ils en capturent en général plus avec la photosynthèse, qu'ils n'en émettent par leur respiration. En revanche, si la photosynthèse baisse de trop, ils émettent.

My Tweeter must have put these two tweets one after the other on purpose!

incredible how the french have truly *perfected* the art of striking

@lvolpic You do? I must have misunderstood your original tweet then. It sounded like you were complaining about the quality of your lab members. Not exactly what most would call promoting them. But I guess that saying one thing while doing another is part of the academic decorum too.

@CurrentBiology and @pnas are great journals that I love to read, but "it do be like that" sometimes: 😆🤣

This describes better than any word could how the first code I wrote for statistical modeling using machine learning somehow worked !

If like me you've run hundreds of minipreps but never bothered to read up on why they extract plasmid but not chromosomal DNA, a recent tweet by @joel_rosenbaum finally motivated me to look it up. From Biennium and Doly 1979:

We can now program cells to write into their DNA a ledger on when they activated the expression of certain genes. Interesting!

[Seth Shipman @seth_shipman]

I’m excited to introduce our Retro-Cascorder, out today in @Nature! This molecular device logs barcoded receipts of gene expression in a temporal genomic ledger. Sequence the ledger --> recover the history of gene expression. https://t.co/aGkyUbRBJW

Even today, lab workers still fill Petri dishes with agar-containing media. We owe Hesse a great deal. Shall we start talking about a "Hesse gel" instead of "agar gel" (like we say "Petri dish") to pay our tribute to a woman scientist who did not get all the due recognition?

[María Maldonado @mm5200]

How we came to use agar for bacterial plates 😱

My "Marie Curie" application got an award: "The Seal of Excellence is a quality label awarded [...] to proposals which [...] comply with the quality requirements [...] but could not be funded due to budgetary constraints" @EuropeanCommiss thanks but I would prefer funding...
