Psst: Stop burning stuff on Earth for energy. Let the burning fireball in the sky be your energy source.

NEW: Biofuels globally emit more than the fossil fuels they replace, our latest study shows.

The first-of-a-kind study looks at global biofuels production today and the potential impacts of government biofuel targets.

This manuscript was so much fun to write! Who thought we'd find an ongoing invasion in Dmel. TEs are so cool 😎

We discovered an endogenous retrovirus that's still spreading in natural D. melanogaster populations! It was horizontally transferred from D. erecta in Central Africa, so we named it "Kuruka", which means "jump" in Swahili. Read its cool story here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I think this is the first time that this event has happened on the 31st, but I did make a spooky variant of the old version of this poster back in 2015!

This project started during my postdoc interview when I asked @ucsdcooperlab.bsky.social "jerboa tails seem longer. Have you looked into that?". It turns out the jerboa tail is approximately 1.5x longer than the mouse, normalized to body length, but with 3-4 *fewer* vertebrae than in mice.

You are welcome! Out here they replaced many of the elm trees killed off by Dutch elm disease with Norway Maples, so it’s a common (and ugly) sight in the Fall!
