National analysis of cancer mortality and proximity to nuclear power plants in the United States - Nature Communications ‘Populations residing near nuclear power plants may experience low-level chronic exposure to ionizing radiation through environmental release pathways. In here the authors find higher cancer mortality rates in U.S. counties closer to operational nuclear power plants, with the strongest relative risks observed in older adults.’

A study published in Nature Communications reports higher cancer mortality rates in U.S. counties closer to operational nuclear power plants, with the strongest relative risks observed in older adults. 🧪

Czech PM Andrej Babiš built his fortune making fertilizer. But that’s just one part of his vast business network.

A POLITICO examination maps the quieter pillar of his business empire — and the regulatory blind spots surrounding it 👇

We mourn together with the #USA for Jesse #Jackson. He was the defining voice of his generation for civil rights in the United States. With his commitment to equality, he remains an inspiration - far beyond his death.

Marie Curie fellowships are madness this year. A score of 97% required for funding. To all those who didn't succeed - you and your project are probably brilliant, hang in there and keep trying

Epigenetic regulation of mycorrhizal symbioses: from plastic responses to transgenerational legacies Mycorrhizal symbioses represent one of the most widespread and ecologically significant plant–microbe interactions, shaping plant nutrition, stress resilience, and ecosystem functioning. Beyond their....

Can epigenetic switches shape how plants “do” mycorrhiza? And can the symbiosis push back? We dig into it in our new paper: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

We are still looking for a PhD student to work on feedbacks between plant invasion and riverbank erosion, embedded in the @terra-cluster.org. In collaboration with geoscientists and modellers; cool combination of field work & experiments. Position is in the Tielbörger lab, in collab with our group.

dyť jo, já volně pokračoval :)

Oni se pak sejdou, navzájem se utvrdí, zatleskají si, a mají pocit, že tím něco vyřešili.Jenže stát se takhle řídit nedá, a to si musí říct otevřeně

Já proti těm umělcům vůbec nic nemám,naopak,vždyť někteří z nich jsou velmi talentovaní lidé. Ale je třeba si uvědomit, že když se někdo celý život věnuje zpěvu nebo herectví,tak to ještě neznamená, že automaticky rozumí složitým společenským otázkám.

Někteří z těch umělců ani nevědí, koho vlastně podporují. To je ten problém

Příroda je mocná čarodějka. A život si vždycky cestu najde. A čím méně do toho člověk zasahuje, tím lépe to funguje. Je to projekt prověřený miliardami let. :)

How I stopped believing in the biodiversity-ecosystem functioning consensus The E120 Biodiversity Experiment at Cedar Creek in Minnesota, from their website. It all began with the best of intentions. By the time the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment was published in 2005, th…

Does greater biodiversity always increase ecosystem functioning? I used to think so, but now I'm not so sure.

Aging drives a program of DNA methylation decay in plant organs Plants display a wide range of life spans and aging rates. Although dynamic changes to DNA methylation are a hallmark of aging in mammals, it is unclear whether similar molecular signatures reflect ra...

Absolutely delighted that our paper on epigenetic dynamics during plant aging is out today in Science!

Point of no returns: researchers are crossing a threshold in the fight for funding With so little money to go round, the costs of competing for grants can exceed what the grants are worth. When that happens, nobody wins.

"In other words, European taxpayers will have spent more on the funding process than on the funding itself, and the scientific ecosystem has been drained"

The situation is rapidly becoming unsustainable: the current research funding scheme does not work.

Conceptual diagram illustrating the concept of species diversity (average richness, mean annual richness; cumulative richness, cumulative richness across years), and population stability metrics (unweighted mean, weighting species by taking them equally; weighted mean, weighting species by their realized mean relative abundance across all years); relationships between plant species diversity and population stability, considering the emergent properties of species diversity and population stability metrics; and the expected correlation coefficients between plant diversity and population stability based on the relationships.

Přijde mi to tak ulíté, že se zdráhám uvěřit, že to je pravda... opravdu to napsal?

The images and stories coming out of Minneapolis are extraordinary. We can't say we did not know what was happening. Lots of people are putting their bodies on the line to make sure we do.

Earth from space

On this day, December 21, 1968:

The first photo taken of the whole Earth in one frame by a human from Apollo 8.

It was the first circumnavigation of the Moon by a crewed spacecraft, and the furthest humans had ever travelled away from the Earth.
