Scientists seeking to make a dry academic paper more engaging often get by with a little help from the Beatles, according to a new study.

The Fab Four are referenced here, there, and everywhere in the scientific literature, the researchers find, with the titles of at least 3200 peer-reviewed papers across disciplines quoting or making puns related to their song names or lyrics.

This far outnumbers allusions to other top artists, suggesting the Beatles are uniquely adored across the (academic) universe, the researchers say.

Leadership is not about pulling people to follow your path. It's about shining enough light for them to find their own route.

Bosses aim to wield power. They issue commands to maintain control.

Leaders strive to empower. They delegate authority to unleash potential.

Most frogs are carnivorous, only accidentally snacking on vegetation. But researchers in Brazil found a tree frog that prefers fruits and nectar and may even be pollinating a tree it eats from https://t.co/7p5QHhjg7x

@NereaIrigoyen @shtolly2 @LambrechtsLab @LakatosLab Hello Nerea, somehow I saw this publication in my feed and it is very interesting because of a similar finding I had with MSI (RNA binding protein) evolutionary analysis. If you think it may be interesting too, here it is: 10.1016/j.meegid.2020.104364. Thanks.

Praticamente 11 anos depois da considerada "maior tragédia climática do país", tivemos outro evento extremamente catastrófico na região serrana do RJ.

Hoje eu quero falar porque isso acontece e os impactos na saúde.
