Fascinating story!
First global map of mycorrhizal fungi reveals true scale of underground networks across the planet
Mycorrhizal fungi form underground networks that sustain plant life and help regulate Earth's climate by drawing carbon into soils.

Katalin Karikó's inspiring story captures the power of persisting against all odds -- a timely reminder for us in science. We're proud to have produced this winning episode, in partnership w/ @scifri.bsky.social. Stories like hers are at the ❤️ of why we support early-stage, unconventional science.
Barbara McClintock was born #OTD in 1902. 🧪
🌽 McClintock, who spent most of her career at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, won a Basic Medical Research Lasker in 1981 for the discovery of transposons, genetic elements that can move from one location to another: http://ow.ly/hVNI50Jvkql

also, including beautiful MALDI-MSI images on B.subtilis colonies with specialised metabolite distributions
@manuelliebeke.bsky.social might appreciate another nice example for application of MALDI-MSI on B. subtilis
