Does anyone have recommendations for kid-friendly metal detectors? We're going to the beach next month and I think my kids (5 and 7) will get a kick out of it.

Is this a result of artificial selection for selfing? Or that we are mostly using a selfing fig variety? Or both?

I'm unfamiliar w/any product line, I'm afraid (or relevant terminology to be honest). I need to characterize the spectrum of sunlight on clear vs cloudy days (I suspect cloudiness is influencing a focal trait in the plant I study). Ultimately I want to develop a way to impose a cloudy day treatment.

Does anyone know of a reliable spectrometer for measuring wavelengths and color spectra that isn't too expensive? 🧪

I'm not sure who the section leaders are right now. I haven't had any communication from them in a long time. But I did confirm with conference organizers that there isn't an organized mixer this year. I know it's a smaller conference this time around.

I've looked into it a bit! Seeing examples really helped. I found a few examples when googling around, which helped me envision how some folks make it work. I haven't tried it yet because I'm just coming back from sabbatical.

Perhaps the best thing one gets from higher education is understanding that a lot of questions don't have clear answers, and a lot of problems lack clear solutions. It follows that those who are trying to dismantle higher ed gain power by providing wrong answers and fake solutions.

Sad to hear Golden Rice's commercialisation has been delayed yet again, but I'm happy to learn the decision is likely to be overturned. Also it's nice the Guardian actually went and talked to scientists, rather than just Greenpeace

I love you and I want you to start your mushrooms in a dry pan. DRY. Med-high heat, flip when you start seeing beads of water on the faces of 2-3 slices (3-6 minutes depending on your stove & recklessness). 2-3 more minutes, then add butter/oil (&garlic/herbs if u want), 1-2 mins. Finish w salt.

Look. I care about climate change a lot. I'm close to a single-issue voter on the subject! But we have GOT to stop worrying about what are, in the scheme of things, rounding errors. I hate, hate, hate this kind of personal-responsibility climate stuff, it's deeply counterproductive.

The whole idea that climate change can be meaningfully address to consumers altering their personal decisions is so horribly counterproductive it's not surprising to discover it was invented, in large part, by energy companies and other pro-climate apocalypse forces.

UNC trustees voted this morning to reallocate the university's $2.3 million DEI budget to campus police. Budget vice chair: “I think that DEI in a lot of people’s minds is divisiveness, exclusion and indoctrination. We need more unity and togetherness, more dialogue, more diversity of thought.”

Observation: I've been posting the same things on Twitter & on Bluesky for a while. There is almost always more engagement here, maybe because you can tag into feeds, or the algorithm works against people there, or maybe users are more active here. I still wish we were all in one place.

Hydnellum peckii, the bleeding tooth fungus, can be found at the base of many evergreen trees in the Americas or parts of Europe. The young fruiting bodies produce red guttation ('sap') that has anti-coagulant properties similar to heparin that, while not very toxic, can be used as a dye.
