Biologist folk (especially in evolutionary biology and/or ecology, but it don’t matter): Can you give me your favorite examples of trade offs in biology? Organism or system don’t matter. Primary literature or reviews preferred.

People often ask about this and worth reiterating: there are individual PI's labs that cost more than bioRxiv, which serves the whole world. We are working towards a long-term, stable, distributed funding strategy. It's trival $$. Reminder: Research $10^5 journal paper $10^3, preprint $10^1.

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer. Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

I had a hard time finding women physicists here. So I made a starter pack for #female and #under-represended #minorities in #physics, in short #FURMIP. Please spread the word and let me know if you would like to be added. go.bsky.app/2JeYsDz

Why do humans make music? 75 experts launched a study to find out--and each of them sang a song that they analyzed together. Here's my story (and some tunes!) 🧪 Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2024/05/15/s...
