Please R/T New collaborative pub led by @MicrobialFuture and the iVAMP team! If you're interested in microbes, venom and coevolution this one's a must read! Although paywalled, I am happy to send a pdf.

I know this may seem like a small thing but it has represented a lot of work from people in my lab.
Congrats to Harriet Wilson and @MicrobialFuture on getting their taxonomic names for new species of bacteria officially validated.
Aquitalea aquatica
Chromobacterium fluminis
Duganella violaceipulchra
Iodobacter violaceini
Massilia hydrophila
They put a huge huge amount of effort into this.

It's no shock prices are high when companies are price gouging and fixing their prices.
Look at the sugar industry - a new case alleges that sugar companies coordinated price hikes. The result? Prices increased by nearly 60% between 2019 to 2023.

Se ha confirmado la presencia de una especie invasora en nuestros arrecifes: el coral blando Unomia (Xeniidae). Si lo ven, infórmalo inmediatamente, con coordenadas y fotos a: programadearrecifesdecoral@gmail.com
No intente removerlo.

A causa de la llegada de la especie octocorales de la familia Xeniidae, que podría causar daños económicos y ambientales en Puerto Rico y constituir una emergencia ambiental y ecológica.

Broccoli Sprouts are an important key to optimizing health.
The secret lies in the compound sulforaphane, which is generated in high concentrations when broccoli sprouts are consumed - 100X more than mature broccoli.
Sulforaphane activates a genetic pathway that regulates over 200 genes!
Broccoli Sprouts Promote:
Reduced Inflammation
Slower Aging
Cancer Prevention
Heart Health
Brain Health
Gut Health

Patients with IBD have avoided dietary fibers to avoid flare-ups.
Recent findings suggest that if fiber type, patient immunological condition, and the fermentative ability of the gut microbiota are taken into account when tailoring fiber advice in IBD:

Reptiles are not domesticated animals—they're wild. And they don't belong in our homes.
Please never purchase a wild animal as a pet.
