Dear US elected officials:
"Science is hard enough, don't make it even harder! Work to remove restrictions on scientists immediately. Any delay will have deep, immediate, and long-lasting detrimental economic consequences."

the biophysical reaction!!!!!!!!!
The President said of the U.S. economy: "We are a department store, and we set the price. I meet with the companies, and then I set a fair price, what I consider to be a fair price, and they can pay it, or they don't have to pay it."
And then... I lost it.
And then... I lost it.

"Tipping points" are "thresholds where a small additional change in global warming will cause [major biophysical systems] to irreversibly shift into a new state."
*Cascading* tipping points occur when crossing one threshold triggers another, & so on.
We should be extremely scared of these. So...

Many beliefs that underpin what we call 'reality' (growth, markets, progress) are social constructions.
These stories are reinforced through culture, habit, language, and institutions until they feel inevitable.

I believe that 'climate change' as a frame is doing more harm than good. People need to understand that we are actually living through widespread ecological collapse, mass extinction of the majority of Earth's species, and surpassing the regenerative capacity of multiple biophysical systems.

Polysomes and mRNA control the biophysical properties of the eukaryotic cytoplasm
Gade et al. report that polysomes and mRNA levels impact the biophysical properties of the cytoplasm. Using passive rheology probes and single-particle tracking, they demonstrate that intracellular diffusion is enhanced when polysomes are disassembled or when mRNA levels are reduced in eukaryotic cells.

Tropical forests cool the earth by 1° degrees.
Trees do not only bind CO2. The strength of the cooling effect through biophysical effects of forests has been underestimated so far.💚🌱🌿☘️🌲🌳🍀💚

Human cortical pyramidal neurons are larger, with more elaborate branching, and distinct nonlinear biophysical properties compared to rat cortical pyramidal neurons.
Are they more functionally complex? Could that boost the human brain’s computational power? and is that what makes us human? (1/11)
