Jutussa arvoidaan, että ero johtuisi erosta tutkintojen pituudessa (Suomi 3v vs USA 4v).

Joku hullunrohkea voisi sanoa, että se johtuu siitä, että USA opettaa paremmin kuin koulutuksen mallimaa Suomi.
Ylen jutusta "Suomalaisilla opiskelijoilla on korkeakouluopintojen alussa keskimäärin paremmat kriittisen ajattelun taidot kuin yhdysvaltalaisten verrokkiyliopistojen opiskelijoilla. Alemman korkeakoulututkinnon loppuvaiheessa merkittävää osaamiseroa ei enää ole."

*almost* all

What is the unit of morphological evolution, and how many of these units amount to almost all?
50 years ago, King & Wilson published a foundational paper that underlies the cis-regulatory paradigm (CRP) of #DevoEvo #EvoDevo, i.e., that *almost* all morphological evolution is driven by mutations in regulatory elements, rather than proteins, and it all arose from simple misunderstanding 🧪 🧵

Can't believe it — my first‑author paper is out and my image graces the cover of @dev-journal.bsky.social 🎉

Here, we reveal how early developmental programs shape and maintain #zebrafish gill architecture throughout life

Just going to leave this rather frightening reference about the change in global mammalian biomass from 1860 to now here. 😳🧪

Brazil, Australia and Italy have the highest satisfaction scores in Nature’s global 2025 PhD survey. A Nature Careers article examines what makes earning a doctorate in these countries different. #Academicsky 🧪
Are these the happiest PhD students in the world?
Brazil, Australia and Italy have the highest satisfaction scores in Nature’s global 2025 PhD survey — but are these nations really the best places to do a doctorate?

I love AlphaFold—but please include PAE (Predicted Aligned Error) plots for every “interaction.” Pretty PDBs ≠ proof. If the PAE doesn’t show an interface, it ain’t one. Show the plots. Structural biology's reputation is on the line.

Honouring the life of Sir John Gurdon, who died earlier this week: awarded the Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine for seminal work carried out in Oxford Zoology (now @biology.ox.ac.uk) showing that mature cells could be reprogrammed to become pluripotent.

Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring was published OTD in 1962.

“[W]e have now acquired a fateful power to alter and destroy nature. But man is a part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself.”

The loser's standing small
Beside the victory

Tvärminne.

The forsaken place where I have spent almost a fortnight dissecting amphipods and their eyes in darkness.
Hour 25.

Made it to Tvärminne.

Happy to share the Biodiversity Cell Atlas white paper, out today in @nature.com. We look at the possibilities, challenges, and potential impacts of molecularly mapping cells across the tree of life.

Fab thread about one of the (many) things one walks past in Oxford without much thought...
Time to talk about one of my favourite Oxford buildings, 26-27-28 Cornmarket!!

The Iberian ribbed newt has the ability to heal its own heart after an injury. The secret might lie in a specific protein also found in humans. Elif Eroglu @ki.se studies salamanders to discover new ways of regenerating our heart cells after a #heartattack.
