Is it all about timing? Identifying the symbiosis critical points that govern interactions among bacteria, ectomycorrhizal fungi, and land trees Tree health and fitness depend on the interactions among soil microbiota across space and time. Recent evidence, for instance, has shown that understanding the individual and interactive lifestyles o....

"Free Gaza"
Spotted in San Diego, California, USA.

Francis’s popemobile to become a mobile clinic for children in Gaza Catholic charity says the late pontiff endorsed the idea of creating a ‘vehicle of hope’ to deliver medical aid Just over a decade ago, the converted Mitsubishi whisked Pope Francis through the streets of Bethlehem before it was left to gather dust. Now, in keeping with one of the late pontiff’s last wishes, the popemobile is being given a second life – as a mobile health clinic for children in the Gaza Strip. In a region ravaged by more than 18 months of war, the initiative is both symbolic and practical, said Peter Brune, the secretary general of the Catholic charity Caritas Sweden. Continue reading...

‘Scientists will not be silenced’: thousands protest Trump research cuts Researchers at Stand Up for Science rallies voice defiance against the policies of US President Donald Trump’s administration.

The mood was defiant at many of the rallies, where chants of “Scientists will not be silenced”, “Facts over fear” and “What do we want? Peer review! When do we want it? Now!” were heard.

Impacts of global warming on (A) marine ecosystem functioning and fisheries, (B) large marine mammals, (C) local transportation, and (D) infrastructure. Colors indicate risk level as a function of global warming: white, undetectable; yellow, moderate; red, high; purple, very high. Black bar indicates 2.7°C. Confidence in assessment of risk transitions by warming levels is indicated by the number of dots shown, from three (high) to one (low). No dots indicate confidence could not be assessed or a risk transition threshold was not met.

Massacri, stupri e sfollamenti di massa: la guerra nella Repubblica Democratica del Congo nel silenzio internazionale - Valigia Blu La Repubblica Democratica del Congo è dilaniata da un conflitto che affonda le radici in rivalità etniche, interessi economici e instabilità politica. Senza un intervento deciso e strutturale, il cicl...

Why is it so hard to rewrite a genome? Synthetic biologists have the know-how and ambition to retool whole genomes. But the hidden complexity of biological systems continues to surprise them.

Synthetic biologists discuss with Nature why it’s so hard to write a genome. “We underestimated how complex biology is.” 🧪 🧬

Your brain is full of microplastics: are they harming you? Plastics have infiltrated every recess of the planet, including your lungs, kidneys and other sensitive organs. Scientists are scrambling to understand their effects on health.

In the #ENGAGE_prin project, we are exploring how species interactions in #seagrass meadows can boost resilience against climate change. Check out our latest experiment at Livorno Aquarium! Follow us here and at marinesymbiomes.eu/engage #MarineScience #MarineSymbiomes

Wrapping up final sampling for the #ENGAGE_prin manipulative experiment! 🌊🌱🐚 Plants, lucinid clams, and sediment were exposed to a marine heatwave — it’s time to check how metaorganisms respond alone vs. in association. Incredible teamwork! 💪 Go #MarineSymbiomes! #SymbioSky #MicroSky #MarineEcology

Drill, baby drill? Trump policies will hurt climate ― but US green transition is underway Market forces could undercut the administration’s plans to increase the use of fossil fuels such as oil and petrol.

Higher greenhouse-gas emissions, fewer jobs and dirtier air that kills more people: researchers have plugged Trump’s energy and climate policies into their models, and early results suggest far-reaching consequences for health, the economy and the planet.
