Our #evolutionary path to #bipedalism is best described as a cross between 'hold my beer' & 'there I fixed it.' Our knees are a polite suggestion, our backs are a sternly-worded letter, & the only things we have going for us are our brains, social nature, & the fact we made stamina our dump stat. 🧪

The SAG101–NRG1 branch of TIR signaling activates phenylalanine‐derived SA biosynthesis in Nicotiana benthamiana Unlike Arabidopsis, Nicotiana benthamiana uses the SENESCENCE ASSOCIATED GENE 101– N REQUIREMENT GENE 1 branch of TIR signaling to activate salicylic acid biosynthesis, illustrating evolutionary dive...

Music and Acoustics with Greg Byrant | Evolutionary Psychology (the podcast) What's up with music? Why do vibrating strings tug on our emotions? And why can't most animals keep a beat? In this episode, we talk to Greg Bryant (UCLA) all about things acoustic and musical. Other topics include: the evolutionary logic of distortion in rock, laughter (including in rats!), and the psychology of perfect pitch and jamming.

Major iridoids identified in 10 studied Nepeta taxa: (A) Plants were grown under controlled greenhouse conditions and subsequently subjected to metabolic profiling of iridoids. (B) Major iridoid aglycones (IAs) and iridoid glycosides (IGs) detected in Nepeta taxa are presented within the dashed black and red boxes, respectively.

Alyssa is a Cleveland native who started at Case Western Reserve University in July of 2023. Alyssa completed her bachelor’s degree in biology from the College of Wooster in 2020 and her master’s degree in biological sciences from the University of Cincinnati in June 2023. As an evolutionary geneticist, she loves learning about how organisms adapt to their environment, how this impacts their genome, and the impact on the expression of genes. Currently, Alyssa is using a new technique to characterize the gene expression of single cells in the oral microbiome to better understand the microbial interactions that contribute to aggressive periodontitis. Outside of the lab, Alyssa spends her time knitting, crocheting, and taking care of her plants and fish.

Alex Karp: AI weakens educated women and gives power to working class males

Alex Karp, essentially: AI disrupts humanitys train. Intelligence gets devalued and muscle valued evolutionary from now on.

They deliberately developed, & are continuing to develop, their generative #AI in a distinctive, "disruptive" direction to hurt #women and the urban middle class.

Karp (Palantir) even seems to hope to #derail #humanity's #evolutionary path. Opposing the value of human intelligence - for raw muscle.

Hi all! I’m a PhD candidate in the @lindseyswierk.bsky.social and Powell labs at Binghamton University. I use #PopGen, #BehavioralEcology, and #VisualModeling to study the #evolutionary & #ecological processes of #divergence in a semi-aquatic #Anolis lizard species complex. #speciation #evolution

The Microbiome with Katrine Whiteson | Evolutionary Psychology (the podcast) In this episode, we talk with Katrine Whiteson (UC Irvine) about her amazing work studying the human microbiome. We cannot stress enough how much we learned from this episode, from how to prevent your gut bacteria from becoming trashed by antibiotics, how to shop for food that will feed your healthy microbes and prevent blood sugar spikes. Other topics include: what's missing form our modern gut bacteria, the relationship between eating, cancer, and immune function, hunting for phages, and much more. A great example of using evolution to better understand our health. More about Katrine Whiteson:https://www.faculty.uci.edu/profile/?facultyId=6103https://kwhiteson.bio.uci.edu/

We're truly at a psychic #evolutionary pivot. I don't know if the spaceships are going to come & take half of us away and leave the idiots to kill themselves or what the fuck is going to happen. But this shit has to change and the killers have to be locked up. They just have to be fucking locked up.
