Sure, and then they vote. This strategy has already failed.

As an old person I’d like to see the evidence for this.

Only a very few plant species get water and nutrients this way.

Based on what we know about plant physiology, the mites likely increased auxin concentration on the abaxial side of the leaf to make it curl.

I don’t think you could funding for this rn, with words like “women” and “sex” in the proposal.

I know next to nothing about spiders, but this web caught my attention. Does anyone recognize it? Same Houston Forest, Texas.

t's raining galls! Galls of the mealy gall wasp are falling out of the southern live oaks all over Houston. As you can see, a lot of them are damaged, as though something tried to eat the larva in the center chamber.

You have children as postdocs?

Jack Schultz @jcschultz.bsky.social · 28/10/2025

I don't think so. In common use "survey" implies or means that more than one individual participated. A "questionnaire" can be given to one or more individuals, but you can only "interview" one person at a time. These are tools that can be used to create a survey.

This would be great, and the science is compelling, but allowing leaves to accumulate and rot on a lawn will kill the grass. This approach really should be paired with alternatives to the usual lawn.

For the first time, renewable energy has OVERTAKEN coal in global electricity production!! BAD NEWS for the fossil fuel industry, BRILLIANT news for the planet! 🌍

Renewables produced more electricity than coal for the first time on record in the first half of 2025. Line graph compares global generation in TWh from Jan-Jun of each year, from 2019 to 2025. Renewables has steadily increased and now overtaken coal in 2025.

Just to finish this off, the mechanism involves exuding cytokinin.

The quality and predatory nature of MDPI journals differs widely among them. I have found several to be quite reliable and valuable for getting to the audience I seek.

I don't understand. If that's a Pieris butterfly, it should ovipositor on the kale, which is in the Brassiceae family, the only family it can eat.

H1-Bs are a major source of support for postdocs. This is another move that will damage research.

Apparently RFK is going to announce that leucovorin can be a treatment for autism. It’s used as rescue drug for osteosarcoma treatment , and this action will likely push it into shortage.😠

Does anybody have, or know where to find high quality photos of crown gall in cross section? I need one for an invited review. Will be credited, of course. Thanks!🌿🌾🧪

I think you should be using the same Y-axis scale for both. That would highlight and clarify the differences.

Democrats should let the budget expire and the government close down. Given what's been done to our government, nobody will notice.

The probability doesn't change. The time for the unprovable to occur merely lengthens.

When writing science (publications, education) there are 3 lines of evidence that what is being said is likely to be true: original data and already-published results. Each statement in a manuscript must have one or the other to back it up. I guess the authors are afraid they won't be believed

Not true for my interests. X has retained that community.

Jack Schultz @jcschultz.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

This is most definitely not true for my interests. Most people and posts are still on X.

Nah. Trump first removes leaders, putting people who agree with him in place. He can then rest assured that the folks actually doing the work and paid much less won't risk their livelihood.

The knot on the petiole is a gall formed by an aphid, most likely Pemphigus spyrothecae. The aphid altered the expression of the tree's genes to get it to make this 'home' for it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pemphig...

I understand. We used Q. rubrum instead of rubra in the first paper I published on oaks (in Science, of all places). 💩 happens. Maybe it's the evil devil, Autocorrect. 😂

I don't think Q. rubra is European. Maybe you meant Q. robur?
