Google just introduced DolphinGemma an AI model designed to decode dolphin communication. Yes, AI is now learning how dolphins "talk"! 🤯

By analyzing patterns in vocalizations, DolphinGemma could help us understand dolphin behavior on a whole new level.

The northern half of the U.S. is forecasted to be in the view path where the auroras may be most visible. Aurora forecast for over a dozen states this weekend Things that the human eye can't see, your phone can, so it'll be interesting to see just how far south we're getting aurora images this time
There is a huge geometric storm on the Sun, 16 times the size of Earth blasting on us earthlings this weekend. #MastodonScience #northernlights https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/05/10/northern-lights-aurora-when-time/73638964007/

In a new paper, published today in Current Biology, we analyse the genome of renowned composer Ludwig van Beethoven using a polygenic index related to musicality, as a way to illustrate the limits of genetic predictions at the individual level. Beethoven, one of the most celebrated musicians in history, scored unremarkably, ranking between the 9th & 11th percentile based on modern samples. We explain why this is no surprise & how it can provide a valuable teaching moment on the complex relationships between DNA & behaviour.
An interdisciplinary collaboration across two Max Planck Institutes (Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen & Empirical Aesthetics in Frankfurt), University of Amsterdam, Karolinska Institute, Vanderbilt University and others.

#MastodonScience biologists, can you help me remember what is the name of this initiative of #scientificPublishing with a sort of pooling of #preprints that get reviewed and then a few journals partners of that will (or will not) offer to consider the paper for publication?
I think @Co_Biologists journals were among partners but I can't find that again through your website.

And of course I'm happy to read about other's experience with that process.

My question from this research is: We know that they make us gain weight, so do artificial sweeteners get ‘tasted’ by our bodies and mess with our blood sugar regulation? #science https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg26134751-400-why-do-we-have-taste-buds-in-our-heart-and-testicles/?utm_campaign=RSS%7CNSNS&utm_source=NSNS&utm_medium=RSS&utm_content=currents #MastodonScience
