Ukraine bombs Yandex data centres in Russia & bots on social media go silent. Elon Musk: 'Zelensky has gone too far' Trump: 'Ukraine needs elections, now, Zelensky must be removed' Zelensky: 'Since the attack, there's less division & less provokation online; we know where bots come from' 👇👇

This is why Asaf Karagila will not send a bottle of whiskey to Sam Altman. Very interesting post about AI and the future of mathematical research.

Is this the correct way to display dinosaurs at an indoor playground? I don't know who arranged them like this but... Is that an alternative way to dance a Sardana? Obviously a challenge with their short arms.. no judging here ;)

Llegint aquesta perla de @oscarandreu.bsky.social al tren, a més de 10,000km de #Catalunya, i de cop m'ha transportat en el temps i en l'espai. M'hi he sentit tan identificat 😂

Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland signed a memorandum of understanding that called on Westminster “to prepare, plan and facilitate constitutional changes", and that no Westminster government has the right to “block democracy” by refusing a referendum [of #independence]. Source: #theGuardian

ICMM-CSIC researchers have created magnetic iron-oxide nanoflowers that trap PET nanoplastics and turn them into tools to remove other water pollutants, supporting circular, advanced water treatment.

How do exotic disease vectors arrive in new territories? Just like this. Took this picture in my local supermarket. Aedes mosquitoes, fruit flies, agricultural pests all exploit the same trade routes.

Not really watching the #worldCup this year... But I liked this one. You shall not pass 💥

Remember when people said 'buy #Ray-Ban, they last forever!' Well... Not anymore. Bought them less than 3 years ago and they are... destroyed... and I just used them occasionally! Capitalism, planned obsolescence... Or they are too focused on #Meta glasses?

best conversation I heard this week: - waw! These croissants are so good! We should go to a country that is famous for their croissants... Which can it be? - IDK... Canada probably. Yeah... Mmmh... Why not... 🙄

Should the term 'personality trait' be really used in animal personality studies? With Sasha Dall and @dingemanselab.bsky.social we don't think so. We explain why in this commentary published in Animal Behaviour. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Unbelievable... And their reaction is just horrendous... Shame.

Marta Quitian explains her work in Ogasawara islands. "Invasions are not just about which species arrive, but about how multiple newcomers interact". Read more here 👇 Invaders Don’t Come Alone: Rethinking Biological Invasions Through Co-invasion www.anoleannals.org/2026/06/14/i...

First the Swiss team... Now #CorticalLabs... Would "living" servers ever be a thing? 🤯 Are we finally waking up to a budget version of #TheMatrix? Please don't pitch this idea to Elon Musk... He may already have a simulation ready... 💾 #AI #TechNews #science www.livescience.com/technology/c...

I may have found my favourite political party! As an expert on cockroach behaviour, I'd be honoured to serve as advisor 😉

Molt decepcionat amb @grufian.bsky.social (si no està tret fora de context). El burka és un tema complicadíssim q s'utilitza per justificar el racisme, com si la nostra cultura fos la 'bona'. Tolerància i respecte no són d'esquerres? En tot cas ha votat contra la prohibició.. ja és molt.

Low-dispersal insects show a decline in species richness over an 11-year period, largely associated with climate change. It's cool to see field studies matching our predictive results (arxiv.org/abs/2603.29116) #entomology #climateChange #ecology

I came across this sketch in my notebook. Painted it 3 years ago in Philippines... I clearly remember that moment, was the pure definition of "bonheur"

Oh.. de veritat? 🙄 Han tardat 13 anys per averiguar que M. Rajoy era en realitat, agafeu-vos fort... Mariano Rajoy 😲 (no hi hauria dit mai.. 😒 - irònic)

#okayama rules! Avui una manifestació contra el genocidi de Gaza. Diria que és la primera vegada q veig gent amb pancartes contra Netanyahu i el genocidi, o cridant #free_palestine a Japó.

The breakthrough brings scientists a step closer to fusion propulsion - technology that mimics the energy reactions powering the Sun.

Our paper is now published in Evolutionary Ecology "Variation in soldier investment is linked to the evolution of termite soldier defense strategies" We show that differences in termite defense strategies are associated with evolutionary patterns of soldier investment. 🔗 rdcu.be/e4cL3

Well done @aki0221.bsky.social ! Update from ResearchGate: "your article was the most read research item from Evolutionary Ecology last week" 👉 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Quite the chart

🎉 Congratulations to @aki0221.bsky.social ! He got his first paper accepted in Evolutionary Ecology right at the end of his MSc! It's been great working together, and we received amazing feedback from the reviewers and editor. More details soon!

Moltbook, a social media for AI. I quote : 'Former Tesla AI director Andrej Karpathy called it "the most incredible sci-fi takeoff-adjacent thing" he had seen recently. [...] This isn't social media in any meaningful human sense. It is a hive mind in embryonic form.' www.forbes.com/sites/guneyy...

One of best jokes from #google #maps so far 😂: - Me: Climbing gym near me - Google maps:

La répression en Iran aurait fait jusqu'à 30.000 morts en deux jours

I was looking for refences in this paper we wrote, comparing the effects of behavioural differences and social feedback in collective movements, when I realised we added faces to the monkeys! Completely forgot about that 😂 they are only visible if you zoom in the pdf. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

La comissió europea i el Japó preveuen signar un acord al 2026 que permetrà la integració de Japó al programa Horizon Europe! #Japan planning to sign agreement to be part of the program Horizon #Europe in 2026!

Just attended these talks from NatGeo Explorers in Asia, and was amazing! Really wonderful to see the work they are doing, and there was a broad range of topics. From biologging data in penguins to a sociological study in Gaza.

What a delusional world... At least 26 Palestinians killed in Israeli attack, 15,000 patients risk dying while waiting for Israel to enable evacuation, and the only thing Vance has to say: the 'President's' peace is still holding.. peace for who?
