D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson was born OTD in 1860. He conceived of organismal form as primarily a matter of physical forces, rather than natural selection.
He used diagrams to represent how networks of physical forces could deform one body plan into another.
I'll miss running GO enrichment analyses though 🙄.

Only a matter of time before a paper formalized this exercise:
Automated #scRNAseq cell type annotation with GPT4, evaluated across five datasets, 100s of tissues & cell types, human and mouse.
A🧵below with my thoughts on how such tools will change how #Bioinformatics is done.

Really cool! Flying insects loose their sense of which way is up and get trapped by the light source (not lured).

Why insects aggregate around light at night and seem unable to leave?
A nearby artificial light source shifts an insect’s sense of vertical orientation, disrupting its ability to maintain forward flight.

Egg-spots are male ornaments on the anal fin, varying between + within species. What developmental mechanisms underlie this variation?
To start to address this we examined egg-spot formation in A. calliptera, the Malawi radiation's ancestor-type species
“Very proud to announce that @SVBelleghem was granted an Odysseus funding by @FWOVlaanderen, to help him characterize developmental plasticity mechanisms and their importance in adaptation to rapid environmental change. Congratulations, Steven! 🥳👏 @SET_KULeuven @kuleuven_fwet”

In the 60s, a study described that white-tailed jackrabbits displayed continuous color variation in winter.
Fifty years later, this study inspired us to ask "How can this stunning variation in winter camouflage play a role in adaptation to climate change?" 🧵
