Very excited to finally have this out in the world! The first paper from my PhD (and my first first-author publication) makes the case for a new entrant to the world of long-lived animal models: Heliconius butterflies. Out now in @natcomms.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41... (1/10)
Studying long-lived species across the animal kingdom could provide insights into healthy ageing in humans. This study reveals long lifespans and slowed ageing in Heliconius butterflies, identifying t...
Hey look we got a cool new paper out in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social all about the MOTHBOX!

The people who believe that generative AI development & adoption everywhere is the ultimate goal & the first order predictor of success are insufferable. So are the people who think that AI can't ever produce anything useful and that everything they do produce is "slop". I miss reasoned arguments.
Can anyone point me towards companies that are actively trying to reduce DNA library prep cost? Like, is there a business out there trying for sub-$1 libraries yet?
Researchers have identified superparamagnetic macrophages in the livers of rock pigeons to be crucial for magnetic sensing. The finding uncovers an unexpected role for immune cells in sensory perception and may fundamentally change our understanding of animal navigation.
