Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Very interesting. And, ironic, since although it never occurred to me consciously, it's possible avoiding math made me more likely to pursue biological sciences as opposed to physics, which I also found totally fascinating.

Not to mention, chicks involved in biology are much hotter than those involved in physics, and enginurds like japhy take a lot of physics classes, taking all the fun out of them.

imo, this sort of initiative has been a long time coming

hopefully it results in a more solid connection from physics (or mathematics, really) to biology…with chemistry thrown in between, obviously

Who writes that shit? They use traveling to the moon and predicting weather to connect to the masses? Traveling to the moon was a looong (like black and white tv) long time ago. Accurately predicting storms? Weather prediction sucks ass. Not good examples at all.

"Breakthroughs in the mathematical sciences have allowed humanity to understand and do things previously thought to be impossible, like safely traveling to the moon or accurately predicting storms," says NSF Director Sethuraman Panchanathan. "The National Institute for Theory and Mathematics in Biology is a bold effort to further grow the unique power of mathematics and biology to help address some of society's greatest challenges, like sustainable agriculture, preventing pandemics and mitigating the effects of climate change."

That look when you discover everything you know, including your PhD thesis, is wrong...

A recent (2024) study has found molecular oxygen (O2) being produced at the seafloor! They are calling it 'dark' oxygen because, up to this point, we understood oxygen to form only by photosynthesis (aka: at Earth's surface, where light can reach). However, this dark oxygen was produced ~4000 m below the surface, where no light can reach! This discovery reshapes our fundamental understanding of how oxygen and carbon are cycled through Earth's systems. No longer is O2 production bound to Earth's surface. This has major implications for how we view Earth's chemical cycles and biosphere moving forward. In this video, I talk about the discovery of dark O2 and the potential significances of this! Hope you enjoy.

if you don’t want to hear amphibians calling, florida might not be for you

Hopefully the Burmese Pythons will finish wiping out the Cane Toads, tree frogs, and all the other noisy creatures before long, because pythons don't make a sound.

they tend to be toxic (massive parotoid glands on the head), but i don’t know if burmese pythons eat them

Australian pythons (and monitor lizards) won’t touch them, which exemplifies why they’re such a problem there

Mitochondria can come in two different types, according to a surprising new finding. The newly discovered ability of mitochondria to split into two different forms resolves a longstanding mystery of how mitochondria can simultaneously provide cells with energy and essential building blocks, even when resources are limited.

The team behind the work hope that this ability could help explain how some cancers can thrive, even in hostile conditions.
