Bring on the bots! 🖥️ HoloSimR allows the user to explore the effect of the microbiota on the phenotypic response to selection and the effects of the environment, host genetics and symbiosis between microbial species on the composition of the microbiota.

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
