One of those stories you can't help getting excited about every time you hear it presented. Great work from everyone involved ! #PlantScience
Mom runs experiments when I'm not home, and her current one is messing with potato. Here is her latest work - a fractalato or a potactal. Topical hormones along the eyes of a russet, light, and time.
"This crisis will be good for the energy transition" is not just untrue in the basic sense but also as morally repugnant as the "nature is healing" stuff from the early weeks of COVID.
None of this should be happening, and celebrating the side effects of racist extermination is ghoulish
historical oil demand vs secnarios
On the second fossil fuel crisis of this decade (and likely to be worse than the last, fair to say), a few small thoughts
First: global oil demand would be so much lower without climate delay, fossil corruption, oversized SUVs, western overconsumption. Everyone who pushed these holds responsibility
God kampdag, ta plass, ikke ta frihet for gitt og husk at transkvinner er kvinner.
Min omsorgsfulle, sørtysk-katolske-men-likevel-veldig-liberale kollektivkamerat: Gratulerer med dagen! Jeg kjøpte blomster til deg siden det er kvinnedagen!

Thank you @dvonwangenheim.bsky.social @the.3i.social for this awesome demo of your spinning disc system for #rootimaging
beautiful !
4/ While growing the plants, I noticed some interesting features of the DELLA mutants - which resulted in a little game we used to play with @pierremarcdelaux.bsky.social, called "can you spot the DELLA mutant?"
...Can YOU spot them?
(Tip: 4 control plants in this picture; reveal in next reply)

It is my pleasure to share:

Here we investigated the role of the single GRAS transcription factor DELLA in #MyMarchantia

A thread...
We are very excited to share a new resource from our team: spatial subcellular proteome maps in plants! We developed an MS-based method that registers localizations of about 8000 proteins in Arabidopsis roots in a single experiment.

So happy to see you post these again!
![Some conservatives here think that secular young Iranians would be happy if America would come and liberate them. What would you say to them?
Democracy, contrary to what they try to tell us, it’s not a paper that you hang on the wall and then you have a democracy. Democracy is a social evolution. It is something cultural. Iranians, they have become much more secular, and they are ready for democracy, but they have to fight themselves for democracy, and the only thing that other countries can do is to understand their fight and help them in their fight.
They [America] talk about the human rights in Iran … how is it that the United States makes the biggest deals with China, and China is far from respecting human rights? What about Saudi Arabia? If you want to talk about an inquisition, the Iranian regime is far from being an inquisition. We have almost a free press, people leave, women have the right to study, they drive, they work. Saudi Arabia, they don’t have anything like that! Talk about human rights in Saudi Arabia! Why doesn’t anyone go and put a bomb in Saudi Arabia and kill the king?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ggl3xsbrjtolfrqlyfguuhhn/bafkreiek5jrc36kgwezmon64mwl54k65acol4x677hnmghv6rataurwsti)

![Do you think it’s ironic that, in the face of American threats, you almost find yourself defending the Iranian regime?
Absolutely, but if we want a democracy, the Iranian people have to do it themselves. The Americans say they want a democracy in Iran, and at the same time, when the Iranians wanted to become democratic in 1953 with [Mohammad] Mosaddeq and to nationalize our oil, the CIA came and made a coup d’état in my country. Why do you want me to believe that they want to come and make a democracy? We have to make our democracy!
There are many things that I wish for in my country — I want my country to be free, I want my country to be democratic, I don’t want any journalists to go to jail because of an article they wrote in my country. But if the United States of America attacked my country, no matter what, I would be against the United States.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ggl3xsbrjtolfrqlyfguuhhn/bafkreiemfkr64p2svts4gyoqs63u3ewapgbcfz4kg3syo53q5pdn353rcm)

Do you see similarities between the Christian fundamentalists in our government and the mullahs in Iran? They’re the same! George Bush and the mullahs of Iran, they use the same words! The mullahs of Iran say we have God on our side; he has God on his side, too. Both of them are convinced that they are going to eradicate evil in the world. But when these words come out of the mouth of a mullah, it’s normal. It’s a shame that the president of the biggest secular democracy in the world talks with the same words as the mullahs. It’s extremely scary.
Do you have any advice for secular Americans who are faced with living in a country that’s increasingly governed by religious fundamentalists? If I have any advice, it’s that every day that you wake up, don’t say, “This is normal.” Every day, wake up with this idea that you have to defend your freedom. Nobody has the right to take from women the right to abortion, nobody has the right to take from homosexuals the right to be homosexual, nobody has the right to stop people laughing, to stop people thinking, to stop people talking. If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.
The full 2005 interview it's from is well worth a read btw. Sadly just as relevant today as it was 20+ years ago—moreso, in fact. www.salon.com/2005/04/24/s...
"There are many things I wish for my country . . . But if the USA attacked my country, no matter what, I would be against the US."
There is death and wanton violence everywhere we look, there is unimaginable loss and fear, all thanks to a handful of men at the helm who have never had to answer for a single wrong.
The mass murder of civilians in Gaza, the brazen attacks on hospitals and schools, without any accountability has created a new kind of warfare that should terrify and enrage all of us.

There's this quote from the graffiti from the 1968 protests in France that goes, "you will die of comfort" and in my 20s I thought that quote was so true, but lately I've been thinking what's more accurate is, "you will die from politeness"
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
