Does anyone remember Biosphere 2? The sealed world contained a miniature rain forest, a mangrove, a desert, a coral reef and seven human beings. It was supposed to save our planet. https://t.co/OqOX1PPRVX

“This is truly a revolutionary result in virology." A plant virus called FBNSV splits its genes into eight separate segments that can all reproduce **even if they infect different cells.** It's a distributed virus!!

@baby_got_bakula @surt_lab ☝️I second this recommendation. The drive from Syd to Byron is about 8h and gorgeous. Also Oct is a good time to visit QLD for the barrier reef - just before stinger season. Original Sydnersider here, been in Boston for 10yrs.

A new study estimates that it will be 16 years before women and men publish scientific papers in equal numbers.

For physics, it will be 258.
