After 6 years of work (since ICOM Mérida 2019) with #NancyCollinsJohnson our “Functional team selection as a framework for local adaptation in plants and their belowground microbiomes” is out in @isme-microbes.bsky.social Journal!

By mapping the meanings of the words used to communicate emotions across more than one-third of the planet’s spoken languages, a study in Science found that there is significant variation in how emotions are expressed across cultures. #ScienceMagArchives scim.ag/41X6dDk
Emotion semantics show both cultural variation and universal structure
Analysis of the terms used for emotions across a sample of 2474 spoken languages reveals low similarity across cultures.

Lifelong #health is not just about our genes-it’s about additive & synergistic consequences of life choices, life #exposures with #genetics
Interesting #aging study quantifying contributions to disease patterns & mortality #medsky #academicresearch #neuroskyence #immunosky #neuroinflammation
🧪 This study highlights why we should not focus so much on genetic factors or drug targets. The #exposome (environmental exposures) has greater impact on disease patterns and premature mortality than genetic factors. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #planetaryhealth #academicsky #medsky #idsky

#multilevelselection in #pain - So much more for us to learn in the periphery and spinal cord!
An exciting one for #PainResearch 👇
How is the input of the different kinds of primary sensory neurons responding to heat and mechanical stimuli summarized in the spinal cord? Check out our recent study.

We must appreciate lower-level cellular behavioral change & higher-level organism behavioral change as independent yet interrelated phenomena. #multilevelselection in #evolution

Wonderful to hear David Sloan Wilson speak CoCo today, especially to remind us how Binghamton University has been at start and center of exciting recent developments in science: #complexsystems and #multilevelselection. Fondly remember seminar he co-organized with Pattee in 90s.

How did we ditch basic biology for the illusion of #regenerativemedicine. #Regeneration doesn’t exist at a single level of biology, or even a few—and we can’t yet target the scope of #multilevelselection to make it real.
