My lab read this paper www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... for journal club, and had some thoughts on the strong claims made about the number of signals of selection found.
Bei einem etablierten Umfrageinstitut wie Allensbach überraschend, aber das ist ein Beispiel für eine nicht valide Operationalisierung von Toleranz:
„Wenn Sie mit jemandem zu tun haben, der ganz andere Meinungen vertritt als Sie selbst: Regt Sie das oft auf oder haben Sie damit meist kein Problem?“
Only one week left to apply for the full professorship in Experimental Biodiversity Research at our institute @unituebingen.bsky.social ! Please re-post.

Experts at our institute have developed best-practice methodologies for conducting field trials which include gene edited/precision bred crops, including wheat in particular 🌾

I don't see this said enough: the widespread use of generative AI is not only making our jobs as educators harder logistically, but also emotionally. It is genuinely sad to be suspicious of students when you have spent so much time building a pedagogy based on trust and not being a cop. It sucks.
Screenshot von der Startseite zur Kampagne "geschwärzte Zutaten". Es wird behauptet, dass bald nicht mehr ersichtlich wäre, ob sich "gentechnisch veränderte DNA in unseren Lebensmitteln" befindet.
Die Kampagne setzt vor allem auf Weiterleitung der Share Pics und Videos bei WhatsApp und anderen Messengern.

Angeführt von Demeter, haben viele Organisationen aus der Anthroposophie und Biolandbau-Bubble gerade eine neue Aktion gegen #Gentechnik gestartet. Anlass ist die letzte Abstimmungsphase zu einem jahrelang diskutierten EU-Gesetzentwurf zur Regulierung sog NGT-Pflanzen. Wir gucken uns das mal an:

I watch these lectures while doing stuff in the kitchen and I am enjoy them very much.
Highly recommended, also as inspiration for my own teaching.
Use AI to make your AI-generated content look less like AI-generated content.
Need to share this 'skill' with my students😉.
Teaching and academic work rapidly degenerate into a glass bead game if we don't come up with new approaches and standards.

Calling all Master students! We have two PhD positions open, one in molecular plant science on robustness, and one in plant cell biology of light signaling. For more details see: www.cos.uni-heidelberg.de/en/light-sig...
Germany does not lack talent, and it does not lack funding. But we are trapping 21st-century minds inside 19th-century academic hierarchies. We are asking brilliant young scientists to build the future of the German economy, but refusing to give them the lab space, the job security, or the scientific independence to actually do it. If we want to reclaim our place as an industrial superpower, we have to stop the rat race of trying to keep every technology and structure alive that made us successful in the 20th century. Instead, we must fix our system that pushes our most ambitious scientists away. The money is there. The talent can be there. Now, we also need the courage to fix what’s broken.
“we are trapping 21st-century minds inside 19th-century academic hierarchies.” This essay gets a lot right about problems with German science. I would add that the hierarchies and precarious contracts lead also to systemic abuse and scientific misconduct. open.substack.com/pub/realimag...
The main problem are the Scientists who continue to publish with such journals, using the lame cop-out that they need it to have a career. Nobody(!) needs a NatComs paper to have a career. They want the Nature logo on their paper to feed their ego. That's all.
