Humans stand out among primates for their ability to learn language. Check out @sarah_mcfann's review of @ThiagoTVarella & @LifeOfBehavior's work to learn how vocal learning may be tied to our species’ ability to coordinate infant care among adults: https://t.co/GXGZYdZrWr (1/5)

Microorganisms have amazing ways to survive in hostile environments–“slime” bacteria, for example, aggregate into 3D masses called fruiting bodies when food is scarce. How? Read our review by @QiweiYu2 covering work by @KSCopenhagen & @RicardAlert: https://t.co/gOwWCRvw3z (1/5)

@AnnaFJacobson This is so scary! So glad you are both okay!

While liberally planting trees to combat climate change is all the rage-it's not always the right answer! Contrary to popular belief, planting trees can increase warming effects in some global regions where ground albedo is high/tree coverage inhibits radiative reflection [1/4]

.@hotarcheetos Archit Verma, PhD successfully defended his thesis "Bayesian modeling of single cell data" last week. His work on models to study single cell data is phenomenal! We will miss him so much, but hope he will join us for future group retreats! Best of luck, Archit!

How are you supposed to know who is vaccinated and who isn't?

@AnnaFJacobson This sweet pup! Looks like April loves May!

Nothing seems appropriate to say for this moment. A small step and a ray of hope, but just the beginning.

@AnnaFJacobson This is really encouraging! If you find the study again please share :)

Real question: I've heard a lot of anecdotal stories of women experiencing abnormal hormonal cycles after the COVID vaccine, such as early ovulation or early periods. Is this something women should be reporting as a possible side effect?

[Siena Dumas Ang @scientistsiena]

@LOrganick Thanks so much for sending this link--will share with my networks and encourage women experiencing any hormonal irregularities to report it. Without reporting these possible associations may not be investigated!

[Siena Dumas Ang @scientistsiena]

I think this is also a question of "what defines a symptom or side effect". Most of the women I've talked to have not wanted to report this because it does not feel "directly related" to the vaccine.
