Why we need smaller cars to make walking safer for pedestrians

Instead of rewarding pedestrians and cyclists, we punish them as second-class travelers.

The plan for Obsidian is to never grow beyond 10-12 people, never take VC funding, never collect personal data or analytics.

Continue building with the assumption that software is ephemeral, files matter more than apps. Use formats that are open and durable.

About - Obsidian

Our guiding principles are set in stone: yours, durable, private, malleable, independent.

Bless Ed Yong:

"Covering long Covid solidified my view that science is not the objective, neutral force it is often misconstrued as. It is instead a human endeavor, relentlessly buffeted by our culture, values and politics. As energy-depleting illnesses that disproportionately affect women, long Covid and M.E./C.F.S. are easily belittled by a sexist society that trivializes women’s pain, and a capitalist one that values people according to their productivity."

The fediverse is an opportunity learned societies can’t ignore

Just as social media has become ubiquitous in academia, its established formats and dynamics have been brought into doubt. Björn Brembs argues that learned societies concerned with their core missi…

OA, open review, free for EU-funded research, etc

Anyone have experience with it ?

Exploring the Influence of Phloem Resistance on Root System Architecture

Studies model the local influence of phloem resistance on taproot and lateral root growth.

Check our latest preprint, by Juan Baca Cabrera .

Juan collected root hydraulic data from the literature & compiled it into a shared database (https://roothydraulic-properties.shinyapps.io/database).

Juan then analysed the main factors driving changes in root system scale hydraulic conductivity, across different plant functional types. The main ones?

Age, drought, aquaporins & measurement techniques.

Find out more in the preprint @biorxivpreprint https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.12.06.570353v1

(pst, there also some modelling in it ;) )

I am over the moon to learned my #ERC-CoG project, DROOGHT, is financed !

Many thanks 🙏 to the European Research Council for enabling me to spend the next 5-years looking at #wheat 🌾 #roots, their #hydraulics and their contribution to more resilient #agroecosystems 🚜 !

Want to know more about the project? We will share all our finding, codes , data with the community (#openscience rules!) as soon as possible! Stay tuned at http://www.drooght.science (nothing there yet, but it will come soon ;))
