#RobSelects paper of the week #ScienceMagazine: Generation of spin-paired solvated dielectrons via UV light irradiation of sodium-doped ammonia clusters, and low-energy electrons through subsequent relaxation. #physchem https://doi.org/10.1126/science.adh0184

#RobSelects paper of the week #ScienceMagazine: Time-resolved x-ray spectroscopic monitoring of the oxidative addition of an alkane C-H bond to an Rh(I) complex. #spectroscopy https://doi.org/10.1126/science.adf8042

So thrilled that our Vienna international #scicomm club invited the creative minds behind the Austrian #Alexandria science magazine.

So exciting to see these people create an exciting space for magazines & science writing, especially in this era and economy. Extra exciting that their first principles emerge from the philosophy, sociology, and theory of science.

Looking at the spatial distribution of the main drivers of #Amazon #forest #degradation, #fires are more related to #logging than to #drought - Climate-independent fire regimes (http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10021-014-9773-5)

Europe's law limiting the importation of products that drive #deforestation threatens biodiverse non-forest ecosystems, e.g., the Brazilian #Cerrado

This is another example of the #forest-centric view of #nature, a view that has long tradition in #Europe (https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2745.13109)

Is a Paradigm shift coming? Long thought that #Hippo signaling controls organ size. New results in #ScienceMagazine suggest that Hippo signaling instructs ectopic but not normal organ growth. Implications for therapeutic targeting of YAP/TAZ?
