I was doing my #UMass #UMassAmherst #IT setup and... what's that? #P2P doesn't invented for #piracy, and, as a CS person, I cannot just uninstall #torrent clients, #IPFS, #Blockchain and other P2P systems because they can be abused. It's like banning #AI because @[email protected]'s #Mythos exist.

Camelina, a friendly li'l brassica is a superhero!
1. It cleans contaminated soils, slurping up nickel--which can then be harvested (phytomining!) for use
2. It improves the soil's fertility
3. Its oil can be used in biofuels.

"We believe that there is currently enough nickel in the barren soil in the U.S. to supply us for 50 years of phytomining,” says [phytoremediation prof] Dhankher.

#UMass #UMassAmherst

Anyone on fedi a student or faculty member at UMass Amherst and know why we're seeing an unexpected influx of sign-up requests yesterday and today from UMass IPs using umass.edu emails?

If these are legit sign-up requests from folks dipping their toe into fedi for the first time, that's great! We've been unable to confirm this though, as none of them have filled out the 'reasons for joining' box with relevant info, nor responded to follow-up emails from our official support account.

#introduction
I study #development and cell #signaling using #Drosophila. In my lab at #UMass Boston, we use #proteomics, #genetics, #imaging, and a bit of #biochemistry to study mechanisms of organ #growth and tissue #patterning. We like to discover and analyze #protein interaction #networks. Current interests are #Hippo and #ERK signaling, and control of #brain development. And no one can escape from #Notch.
