I am constantly struck by how vividly our #universe is described in research articles, including words by astronomers themselves. It is actually quite easy to imagine it as a giant living #organism. https://arstechnica.com/science/2026/01/early-universes-supermassive-black-holes-grew-in-cocoons-like-butterflies/
That is why I am often surprised that we describe so much of #life on Earth as a thing.

Dear Friends of the time to come,

Thanks to everyone on the Mastodon, which as we know is a kinda drug for the better cells of the world organism.

I could be wrong about many things, even everything. BUT. I do not like to be anywhere near the right to nazi excuse me.

I am learning to dance with a better rhythm. Every day. A Change. For the qualities I admire the most:

- Diversity of knowledge
- Critter empathy
- Protecting the week, the day, the momentous

That sort of good stuff. Thanks to everyone. Past. Present. And correcting/connecting...

Still working hard on my baby steps Tux-paint skills. Slowly but Shirley.

A #Model #Organism is a non-human species that is extensively studied in the laboratory to understand particular biological phenomena, with the expectation that discoveries made in the model organism will provide insight into the workings of other organisms.

#KnowledgeBit: The #Zebrafish, a popular #Aquarium fish, is an important and widely used vertebrate #Model #Organism in scientific research, for example in drug development, in particular pre-clinical development.

It is also notable for its regenerative abilities, and has been modified by researchers to produce many #Transgenic (genetically modified organisms) strains.

About 300 years ago, Swedish naturalist Carl #Linnaeus set out on a bold quest: to identify and name every living #organism on Earth. Now celebrated as the father of modern taxonomy, he developed the binomial naming system and described more than 10,000 species of plants and animals.

New species are now being discovered faster than ever before, study suggests

Good news is that this rate of new species discovery far outpaces the rate of species extinctions

Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have discovered something new about a very old #organism and used it to transform waste from a #chocolate factory into #C-phycocyanin, a valuable blue #pigment

Scientists use algae to convert food waste into sustainable ingredients

Phycocyanin from Galdieria, of which C-phycocyanin is one type, was recently deemed food-safe by the U.S. FDA

Organism (Organisms 🐞)

An organism is any living thing that functions as an individual. Such a definition raises more problems than it solves, not least because the concept of an individual is also difficult. Several criteria, few of which are widely accepted, have been proposed to define what constitutes an organism. Among the most common is that an organism has autonomous reproduction, g...

Scientists uncover a hidden universal law limiting life’s growth

Japanese researchers uncovered a universal rule describing why life’s growth slows despite abundant nutrients. Their “global constraint principle” integrates classic biological laws to show that multiple factors limit cellular growth in sequence. Verified through E. coli simulations, it provides a powerful new lens for studying living systems. The work could boost crop yields and biomanufacturing efficiency.
