I can almost hear it!

Crystallise it and show us the structure lol

Acrylamide is a nasty neurotoxin. Look at old protein biochemists and their hands all shake from years of making SDS-PAGE gels without gloves.

It wouldn't be science without some jargon :P

Basically, a new mechanism has been found - low nitrogen influences the signalling of a plant hormone to reduce the number of branches. Particularly pertinent to cereal crops and could help lower the need for nitrogen fertilisers!

Hope it stays open source going forward, especially given how it's built on the back of decades of hard work in x-ray crystallography.

He/she came right up to me! I was having lunch by the river and the little fella just ran up to me and started singing. They eat bugs and don't really scavenge off people so I don't think he was even after my food. He even hopped on my foot briefly!

 

Looking perpetually angry 😠

Can't mentally decline if you were never sound of mind in the first place!

Pure nostalgia for me. I went on a small road trip for my high school leavers and had some Ayreon CDs playing the whole time. By the end of the trip everyone was singing along. Absolute classic.

Dutton's so much of a spud I'm almost glad he's in charge of the LNP instead of someone more charismatic. Hopefully he never sees any real power. Can't believe that this is even a political issue up for debate, just delay delay delay and never so anything.

Cool paper from my field. In every plant species there's a hormone receptor sitting there but we don't know what the hormone is yet! Finding the ligand has become a bit of a holy grail for many researchers. This study finds an endogenous ligand for a divergent homologue of this receptor, not of much consequence to most plant species but still enough to have people turning heads.

Their first new music in 17 years!

 

Still possibly my favourite album to come out this year, and they're not even a typical prog metal band.

 

Hilarious new music video from my favourite band in my local scene. Fans of Tool, Meshuggah, and Devin's Ziltoid albums should enjoy it!
