Ik deel hier vaker radarbeelden van vogeltrek, maar die van gisteravond van radar Den Helder (KNMI) zijn toch wel heel bijzonder: vogels wachten op de Waddeneilanden en in Noord-NL de schemering af, om dan massaal over steken naar Engeland, waar ze overwinteren of verder trekken!
Gaat een belangrijke oceaanstroom vertragen, met gevaarlijke consequenties? En wat deden de onderzoekers en ik een maand lang op zee? Luister hier. https://t.co/UHjaOX9zdq @nrcwetenschap@NIOZatSea@UniUtrecht
Gisteravond bij de Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen een geslaagde live-opname van Onbehaarde Apen met 150 mensen publiek. Beluister de aflevering vanaf woensdag 2 oktober op https://t.co/eZwB63xjZP
In the 1970s, scientists chopped up hydra (freshwater organisms) in a blender.
After 3-5 days, the hydra cells "spontaneously" reaggregate, regrowing their tentacles & becoming "normal animals" again.
Nobody asked, but this is one of my favorite research papers. PDF below.🔻
This vainglorious tweet from He Jiankui, creator of the CRISPR babies, is getting a lot of attention. The research was deemed unpublishable because of ethics shortfalls and apparent deception used in the course of the experiment. 🧵

Pathogenesis is Not a Trait—It's an Outcome. Excellent summary of 'damage-response framework'. Words like 'pathogen', 'pathobiont', commensal, opportunist don't work: they give microbes traits that are not their own. Only outcome of host + microbe matters

Yay!
Three years after @raoult_didier @Pr_Chabriere_E and @IHU_Marseille filed a complaint against me for harassment and blackmail, the Marseille Procureur tells me today they could not find any grounds for criminal prosecution.
Aerosols and inoculation dosage, variant, they all matter for how sick you might get. And yes, aerosol particles containing virus can be infectious. Extremely nice and comprehensive study. A shame there was so much controversy during the pandemic.
Everyone talking about a peer reviewed scientific paper published with an AI generated image (complete with nonsense words). Just look at the size of this rodent's Dissilced!
