Revolut is the worst app you can ever use! If you are a new customer, try not to get into it from the very beginning to avoid headaches! The service is horrible and resolution of issues takes ages!
I’ve been struggling to close my account and get my money back for a year now!

A lot of people working in academia are affected by this. Nobody in academia will be able to afford the annual 100k.

DNA sequencing costs have fallen 100,000x

AI is doubling every 6 months.

Hang tight. We’re all going exponential 🚀

You don't often see the wings of a Devil's Coach Horse, but I think this one must have blundered into a spider's web. See how it puts its wings away, folding them into the tiny space under the elytra by doing some serious abdominal writhing.

Your lifestyle literally accelerates or slows epigenetic aging

High BMI, blood sugar, and inflammation accelerate the clock, physical activity, HDL cholesterol, plant‑forward meals slow it

Police in Salzburg are completely useless (wrt scammers) and would literally do nothing if you lose money to a scammer. They for sure will register a complaint but beyond that, nothing.
So scammers, you are safe in Austria and are welcome to scam more desperate people!

Our work on population genomics of Asiatic elephants is finally out (with a few errors in the title page).

We find that there are potentially five populations of Asiatic elephants in India.

We find a signature of serial colonization by elephants from north to south. 1/n

World’s smallest falcon (22-25 g) and world’s largest hummingbird (~20-26 g). Amazing to see how form matches function. @NMNH

The chronospace R package is now published!! I hope it'll provide useful tools for visualizing and exploring sensitivity in estimates of divergence times. A really fun project with lifelong friend @millacarmonia

Come do a PhD with me on human behaviour change for nature conservation! Employing interdisciplinary approaches including behavioural psychology, this ARC-funded project will work with government partners to improve human-nature relationships https://t.co/RYpjZie4Ji

This is rich - one of the primary reasons scientists don't have a lot of time to think is that @nature and its ilk have promoted a culture where the primary goal of science is to produce bloated Nature papers that require lots of time and money, but little thought, to produce.

Perhaps my favourite finding from our insect migration study in the Pyrenees was that even the most miniscule of insects were migrating!

Here is a photo of an already small Pied hoverfly, but next to it is a tiny Oscinella grass fly, both migrating in their millions through the pass!

We showed that even these 3mm long flies were capable of choosing favourable winds and migrating through the mountain pass!

Flies are so remarkable.

Figeno, my visualization tool for genomics🎨🧬, is now published in Bioinformatics! https://t.co/ln22SewiZ7
It can generate publication-quality figures for sequencing data along genomic coordinates: bigwig, HiC, @nanopore data with base modifications, and WGS with CNAs and SVs.
