Latest study by @Elephanseco & team from Prof. Mahesh Sankaran's lab at @NCBS_Bangalore offers new insights into the nutritional ecology of elephants by analyzing carbon isotopes and nutrients in their fecal samples and food plants. 🐘

The findings indicate that browsing provides no nutritional advantage over grazing, contrary to earlier suggestions.
Congratulations to the team on the publication🎉

Dr. Ajith Kumar was one of our best. Deeply engaged with the forests and his students, he combined rigour and intensity in teaching with the stimulation of love and appreciation of the natural world around us. His presence was ubiquitous, and he was always available to travel, teach and get involved. He will be much missed.

Okay, I am now beginning to understand why Xi Jinping cut Jack Ma down to size.
(Jack Ma's net worth is $25 billion, still enormous, but not large enough to buy enough influence to form a parallel Government).

This was an Onion article 11 years ago
Yun Sun in Foreign Affairs: “Beijing assumes that Washington’s own policies will dismantle the foundations of U.S. global hegemony, even if it creates a lot of turbulence…in the process. China’s top priority, then, is simply to weather the storm.”

direct costs support researchers' salaries and equipment. indirect costs pay for heat, water, and electricity in the buildings, machine shops, libraries, infrastructure, repairs in the buildings, facilities, etc, without which research is impossible. administration is a small part of it. why are you focusing on administration? researchers need electricity to use the equipment. 15% indirect will kill biomedical research in the US

I’m a big deregulation guy so I love seeing fucked up shit like this. It means a business is making MONEY. Clean drinking and fishing waters are a sign of poor loser leftist countries.

So Putin was telling the truth.
USAID was funding over 6,200 journalists across 707 media outlets and 279 "media" NGOs, including nine out of ten media outlets in Ukraine.

This is when you realize just the unfathomable scale of the US propaganda apparatus, when freezing funding for its agency supposedly focused on "foreign aid" throws "journalism around the world into chaos" given that hundreds of millions of that "aid" was for funding "independent" (😏) media.

Excited to share our new paper in @Ecology_Letters, first-authored by my PhD student @Sweat_Saltwater!
It's a big meta-analysis on the effects of temperature on fertility in aquatic animals with lots of interesting (and surprising) results 🐟🐠🦐🪼🦀🐢🪸

An interfaith came to get married as per law - to a court premises. And the couple was beaten and is now being “investigated”
This is not a break down of law and order. This the new apartheid legal system in action.
MP | Triggering |
It is frightening to watch what a young #interfaith couple in India is going through - just to marry legally.
As law-abiding citizens, they follow provisions of the Special Marriage Act, but their details get leaked from the Court.
When an interfaith couple came to marry in Bhopal Court on Friday afternoon, their details were already out in public.
Subsequently, R/W supported lawyers, called VHP and other fanatics, who brutally assaulted the Muslim youth inside the Court premises.
Now, the Police are investigating the couple, as usual, not the assailants.
Yes ! You heard it right.
Same incident reported in Uttrakhand two days ago.

This tigress has reclaimed the ancient fort within Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve and made it her home.
Protection, prey, peace, and prosperity have been key factors in the tiger recovery within India, according to a new Science study. Learn more in this week's issue: scim.ag/40SCta1
ALT Cultural reverence toward tigers (Panthera tigris) has fostered tolerance and permitted coexistence with humans in India. Ecological restoration, socioeconomic policies, and political stability have facilitated the recovery of tigers within their historical range, despite high human densities. This tigress has reclaimed the ancient fort within Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve and made it her home.
