@DrEvanGowan Agreed. Though knew exactly what they were doing… and intended/promoted that outcome. I say this also as someone who has published there and in — two journals that have lost credibility in my opinion, unfortunately, and I regret sending my science there (never have as a PI though). To be clear, that doesn’t mean that there isn’t good science being published there currently…

Did we catch your attention with this adorable petrel chick? Oh good, now that we’ve got you…

🚨EXCITING NEW PAPER ALERT 🚨

announce yet more ground-breaking alongside >100 international scientists. Published in , we compiled 3 huge datasets: ingested by 77 , >1.6 million locations & plastic abundance in the . We used these data to answer the question: which species forage in areas of the ocean where large amounts of plastic have accumulated?

So, why does this matter? The results demonstrate that plastics exposure varies by species, location & season with threatened species being particularly vulnerable. Thus, large-scale collaborative teamwork is essential to identifying priorities, particularly important as the pace/scale of environmental change (including ) is rapidly increasing & funding for mitigation isnt keeping pace. Thus, a detailed knowledge of when/where marine animals are most at risk of encountering plastics could not be more timely.

Intestinal tissue replicated in a lab setting: Researchers from & @MDC_Berlin have succeeded in reconstructing the intestinal glands (“crypts”) responsible for absorbing nutrients as a 3D cell culture. 🧫

The research team explains in how they produced the artificial crypts and what they learned from them about these structures’ impressive cellular self-organization abilities:

Critical new article in indicates that the will be earlier than previously projected.

This is an article. We must find a way to overcome governmental inertia and move toward lower emissions now.

‘Simulations and Experiments Reveal Unprecedented Detail about Water's Motion in Salt Water’

“Ions in a water-based solution are typically surrounded by four to six water molecules, but it is not well understood to what extent these molecules move as a unit and how much motion the water molecules experience.

“Testing over a wide range of concentrations and temperatures, and combining experimental data and computer simulations, the researchers observed that water molecules wiggle around the sodium and chloride ions at an extremely rapid pace—more than a trillion times a second. In addition, it was previously assumed that ions move together with surrounding solvent molecules as a unit, but the experiment showed that this is not the case; instead, the water molecules wiggle much faster than the ion-water complex.”

The findings, published in , will allow researchers to build more reliable models for predicting ion dynamics, which could be used for a variety of scientific endeavors, from improving rechargeable batteries to MRIs.

Very impressive.

This new research in allows identification of novel hydrolases from four bacterial phyla with expressed enzymes showing activity across pH4.5 to 9 and from 30 to 70 degrees C.
