🚨 We turned European train delays into a live league table.

Germany finished last. 🇩🇪
Switzerland isn't even #1. 🇨🇭

Over the last 30 days, DelayBahn tracked 900,000+ train stops across 6 countries.

Welcome to Europe's Rail Leaderboard 🏆🚆

See where your country ranks 👇

Peer-review ladies and gents. What’s your favorite? #BSPP26 #PPTATH2026

[Ryan Orhan @rynorhn]

this guy fucking called this months ago.

openai asked researchers to come use their models and do research with them.

now, a few months later:

math researchers getting fucking scooped by the lab they trusted with their work.

what a fucking precedent.

Advice for new PhD students: choose a mentor who is committed to your training, not just your project. The most important product of your PhD - even more important than the science - is you, a newly trained scientist.

#MicrobiologyMonday: Bunsen burners are used to reduce airborne contamination. Data in #JournalSpectrum suggest the practice is not evidence-based and, except in some cases, Bunsen burners can be removed from practice w/o compromising research integrity. https://t.co/1UCgN7UVb2

Yet another myth collapses and joins Ethidium Bromide. Next one will be "having dedicated RNA bench and pipettes"

Remember to treat your body like a data center.

Consume as much literature and water as possible.

i’d love to know how anthocyanin biosynthesis is being activated in these rose petals upon (colletotrichum?) infection

[H.M. Suraj @surajhm308]

@jonathandgjones There is the very old paper 1980 from JIC where they tested Antirrhinum with Botrytis and showed heat killed Botrytis secreted molecules (most likely effectors) can trigger this response even in white flowers https://t.co/8ckJ3ohhz9

IMF’s reference forecast for the world economy is out. Global growth lowered to 3.1% There are more adverse scenarios where global growth falls to 2%. Let’s hope we don’t get there.

“a re-evaluation of fungal biology is not currently
necessary…”

Multiple nuclei means multiple chromosome sets in Botrytis cinerea and Neurospora crasse
