Fascinating. Not just the questions, but also the type of questions. Biologists do not appear to be the most open-minded and stick to their scientific niche. Explore this gift article from The New York Times. You can read it for free without a subscription. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/05/s...

Captain Haddock looking very frazzled, saying, “What a week, huh?”
Tintin leans into the frame and says, “Captain, it’s Wednesday.”

El capitán Haddock, sentado a una mesa y con aspecto de estar agotado, dice: "¡Menuda semana, ¿eh?".

Why do apps like Spotify not have proper randomisation algorithms? Why do poorly streamed artists appear to be pushed backwards? Not everybody likes "pop", I prefer the music I select for my playlist and expect random selection when I tick the random button. How hard can it be?

Preprint. 4 coumarate:CoA ligases are part of the acyl-CoA synthetase family. Their evolution, driven by CoA and hydroxycinnamates, allowed the evolution of landplants. Our classification has 3 rather than 2 classes of 4CLs, besides OPCL (JA biosynthesis) and 4 other subfamilies. shorturl.at/qQQd1

It seems scientists never learn. Yes, epigenome editing is very promising, and yes, principally it is reversible, but there will always be side effects. It is as if epigeneticists have never heard of epistasis. Tread with care, IMHO. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/08/s...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Als je in Nederland je zin wil, gebruik je geweld. Houd je AZC’s mee tegen, blokkeer je milieubeleid mee. De fatsoenlijke meerderheid die geen geweld gebruikt, staat met lege handen. Dat blijft niet goed gaan.
