  11. " "Today’s assessment from the World Meteorological Organization is clear:
    Global heating is a cold, hard fact,"
    United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said in a statement.
    "There's still time to avoid the worst of climate catastrophe. But leaders must act
    – now."

    The planet's average temperature in 2024 was 1.6 degrees Celsius higher than in the 1850-1900 pre-industrial period, C3S said.
    The last 10 years have all been in the top 10 hottest years on record, according to the World Meteorological Organization. "

"Paper Mills" stehen im Zentrum des Skandals, produzieren gefälschte Studien und untergraben das Vertrauen in die Forschung. Die größte Quelle dabei war der Verlag #Hindawi, ein Tochterunternehmen von #Wiley.

Together they collected 47.5 pounds of lunar material for return to Earth. An estimated 650 million Earth humans watched this historic event. #Apollo11 set the stage for continued exploration of the #Moon.

  21. Oh, Schist!

    Schist is a metamorphic rock, whose name is one of those groan-worthy geology puns. Depending on how much mica is in the rock, schist can also be a remarkably strong, or it can be a little flaky:) Now for the fun stuff.

    Schists are medium to high-grade (metamorphic pressure and temperature) medium-grained metamorphic rocks whose minerals are aligned in a preferred orientation perpendicular to the direction of the compressive forces that formed them, such as mountain building. Their foliation usually defines planes of weakness, but the strength of the rock can vary. Schists can form from sedimentary, igneous, and even other metamorphic rocks, but the composition of the original rock (protolith) must allow platy minerals to grow. Schists commonly contain quartz, feldspar, mica, chlorite, graphite, talc, and a variety of other minerals. Schists can also contain large well-formed crystals such as garnet (a metamorphic index mineral), emerald, sapphire, and ruby. If the protolith is known, the schist is named accordingly (ie meta-sandstone schist). If the protolith is unknown, the schist is named after its minerals such as mica-garnet schist, or greenstone, after its color, for a chlorite-bearing schist.

    Schists are some of my favorite rocks. They can sparkle (thank you, mica) and are always fascinating rocks that indicate tectonics were involved in their formation. I never take them for granite:) I’ll show myself out…

  22. Banded Iron Formation

    This beautiful rock from Australia is one of a type called Banded Iron Formation (BIF) found all over the world. BIF are very cool because they tell us about the evolution of the early atmosphere and that free oxygen was not widespread in the early Earth.

    The oldest BIF appear in the rock record 3.8 billion years ago and the youngest appear 1.8/1.7 billion years ago. These rocks represent deposits of iron oxides that precipitate from iron in seawater as the result of oxygen production.

    The fact that the early oceans contained iron means that they could not have contained much oxygen and, in the pre-BIF earth, free oxygen was likely rare or absent. The formation of BIF stopped once the majority of iron from the oceans was used up allowing the oxygen, created by early organisms engaged in photosynthesis, to build up in the atmosphere.

    Banded iron formations appear to have been deposited in areas of the ocean where seawater with high contents of dissolved iron and silica came into contact with water containing higher amounts of oxygen, which resulted in the precipitation of hematite and chert (microcrystalline silica).

    This rock is from the Karijini Gorge in Western Australia. This unique formation is the largest iron deposit on Earth and records evidence of what early oceans were like.

  23. Does #ScienceMastodon have a #NoStupidQuestions type hashtag yet? Where can I ask my seemingly obvious, borderline embarassing questions?
    Like why can't I reuse running/transfer buffer in #WesternBlot or #Electrophoresis for #PCR gels?
    Why can't I just reuse agarose gels for PCR after imaging them by putting them back in electrophoresis and letting all the #DNA run off?

    If you're my PI and you me asking this, no you didn't.

  24. New instance, new #introduction 😉. Hello everyone, also a refugee from Twitter, I offer you a small introduction. I am a #clinicalpsychologist, associate researcher at #Nantes University. My research interests focus on factors related to #emotionregulation in #addictive behaviors (in particular #alcohol , #tobacco and #eatingdisorders). For this purpose I use #neuropsychology aspects as well as the influence of #social factors.#ScienceMastodon

  25. Hi #Sciencemastodon. #Introduction.

    I am an #educator in #Microbiology at present.
    I have researched on #HumanImmunodeficiencyVirus and on #HepatitisBVirus. In the context of #HepatitisBvirus, I analyzed deletion mutants and their effects on #virus #biology. I further worked on #stemness in the context of #breastcancer. I studied the relation between #tumorsuppressors and #oncogenes and #pluripotency factors. I will soon be moving to #research on #HepatitisBvirus and #livercancer

  26. Hello #ScienceMastodon!

    I am a molecular and cellular neurobiologist leading a research group trying to figure out #AxonalTransport & #neurodegeneration. A big emphasis on #microtubules, #kinesin and #dynein, but really the transport of anything that doesn't have a membrane around it. We use a lot of #SingleMolecule methods and #LiveCellImaging.

    I also post about #researchculture, particularly how we can better invest in people so they can do great science.
