  1. In order to survive, #organisms must control the pressure inside them, from the single-#cell level to #tissues and #organs. Measuring these pressures in living cells and tissues in #physiological conditions has been very challenging.

  2. #Insects have a lot of #anatomical and #physiological features that make them very well-adapted to #terrestrial #environments. And some of them live in extremely #dry situations.

    #Flour #beetles can go their entire lives without #drinking? How do they do this? Part of the puzzle is that they "drink" through their #rectum.

  3. CW: Basic Autism description

    @RenoirDana @actuallyautistic When I consider what I’ve read of #autism, the bottom line is the #physiological #variances in our brain and nervous systems result in noticeable #divergence in how we #process #stimuli and respond to the world around us. Indeed everyone has sone differences. But #NT is just the a range of variance that calibrates to #normative #expectation. That we should be made to feel badly about our difference is the problem.

  4. #introduction I am a quantitative #biologist, striving to understand how changes in #temperature (and other factors) influence biological systems over various timescales. To this end, I employ a diverse set of approaches, such as #phylogenetic comparative methods, #ecoinformatics, #machinelearning, & comparative #genomics.

    My research to date has primarily focused on the #physiological and #molecular levels, but I am planning to soon expand to higher levels (species interactions, #ecosystems).
