A new replacement name, Tabernaemontana cameroonensis, has been proposed for a tree previously known as Domkeocarpa pendula, after a reassessment showed that collections from Cameroon and São Tomé once identified as T. ventricosa are in fact a distinct species.

I used to be a wet lab biologist. Now I'm a bioinformatician. I started programming in year 4 of my PhD.
I felt behind. But those 4 years at the bench didn't slow me down. They gave me an edge.
Data isn't just rows and columns. It's cells, reagents, time, and luck.

DNA makes RNA. RNA helps make proteins. Proteins build structures, regulate processes and keep cells alive.
But biology isn't a collection of disconnected facts. Everything is connected.
Our animated textbooks help students see the relationships between biological concepts, from molecules to cells and beyond.
Less memorization. More understanding. ow.ly/yWV750ZoBeQ

I built a working web app with zero web dev experience. Claude was my only developer.
The bottleneck moved from "can I code this?" to "can I think clearly about what I need?"
You're still the guardrail: plan first, review everything, push back on bad output.

Wetlands are nature's multifunctional ecosystems.
Valuing, conserving, restoring and financing wetlands is no longer optional – it is essential to securing the foundations of life on earth.

Habitat fragmentation may be causing birds to lose genetic diversity far faster than previously estimated.
A new Science study of 62 songbird species in China found that all had lost nearly half their genetic diversity over roughly 50 years, including species considered common and at low risk of extinction. scim.ag/4AtWz9F

🧵 SVD & PCA: The hidden math shaping bioinformatics discoveries
1/
PCA isn’t just a trick for pretty plots.
It’s the math that turns chaos into patterns.
At its heart is SVD (singular value decomposition). Let’s dig in.
