@tomkXY @aemonten "Introduced in the 1950s, ethidium bromide (EB) is still used as an anti-trypanosomal drug for African cattle" https://t.co/mPtU5PszBk Read elsewhere the amount (per kg) would be equal to the professor drinking 500 litres of the diluted solution used in the lab.

Nice example from @LukeFinlandInt of how genotyping-by-sequencing data allowed us to identify a major QTL affecting mortality to Saprolegnia infection in farmed European whitefish Coregonus lavaretus https://t.co/UOrsBJIaX4

@TomiHautakangas @maxseddon The ruler of Russia happened to be the ruler (Grand duke) of Finland, but Finland was never part of Russia.

It's June they say.

[Dr. Robert Rohde @RARohde]

June 21st is #ShowYourStripes Day.

It is an annual event where individuals, meteorologists, & organizations promote discussion about global warming by using @ed_hawkins iconic warming stripes.

Here is my animation showing local stripes around the world.

CoRoSect project launcing pilot testing automation or robotization of some less straightforward steps in insect production ina Norwegian facility #hyönteistalous #hyönteistuotanto @LukeFinlandInt #LukeInsectLab

[CoRoSect @CoRoSect]

🍾CoRoSect launched its 1st Pilot at Norwegian insect farm – Invertapro.

👥The CoRoSect team will be conducting 2 use cases within this pilot – oviposition and quality management

In a cohort of 87 Nordic Red dairy cows we (@mtapio, @Fischuu from @LukeFinlandInt ) demonstrate that feed efficiency can be predicted by rumen microbiota. Our freshly published study https://t.co/kES6nLNmrB #mdpimicroorganisms via @Micro_MDPI

🏅Yesteday, the first review meeting of the CoRoSect project was held online!
🙏Special thanks to the team for productive collaboration and reviewers for constructive feedback and advice for strategy improvement!
🌟 We are ready for round 2!

@schuldberg Perfect! As a Finn, I hate the normal one person bus stops. This triples the capacity!

@SusanneHeiska from @LukeFinlandInt presented @CoRoSect at @INSECTA2022, discussing great ideas and results with the key actors from the entire value chain of insects.🐛

@bobby_jags @Eaterofsun @_david_ho_ Land use is a difficult issue. Norway was mentioned, building more land infrastucture would fragment the natural habitats. Moreover, obtaining the right to use land is not simple (Sami rights and so on).

[Miika Tapio @mtapio]

@bobby_jags @Eaterofsun @_david_ho_ Not doubting, but situations differ. Is it sensible to build a railway for 20 persons commuting weekly to work? Seen claims these have lower foot print than any current solution with private cars.

[Susanne Heiska @SusanneHeiska]

Substrate quality issues were deeply discussed today in @INSECTA2022. In @LukeFinlandInt we design a feed, that consists of side streams, meets insect nutritional requirements, and can be used in automatic robotized systems developed in collaboration with @CoRoSect team
