Went on to play a few months ago with mates, all 4 of us had accounts deleted. Wtf, why wasn't it an automatic process...

I want to put Skype's corpse on a banner and wave it around to all the software that's currently undergoing enshittification.

I can almost hear it!

Astor Theatre, Perth, 2019. Was a crazy mosh, and Crumbling Castle was incredible. They ended the show on "The Bitter Boogie" which was a really flat, confusing way to end. Overall a great gig but I still find myself scratching my head at the ending song. The other times I saw them they finished with the Mind Fuzz suite and KGLW, so can't complain!

Crystallise it and show us the structure lol

Acrylamide is a nasty neurotoxin. Look at old protein biochemists and their hands all shake from years of making SDS-PAGE gels without gloves.

It wouldn't be science without some jargon :P

Basically, a new mechanism has been found - low nitrogen influences the signalling of a plant hormone to reduce the number of branches. Particularly pertinent to cereal crops and could help lower the need for nitrogen fertilisers!

Hope it stays open source going forward, especially given how it's built on the back of decades of hard work in x-ray crystallography.

 

Looking perpetually angry 😠

 

Now that we've had some time to digest Flight b741, curious to see how it ranks for everyone!

(Nerd warning) So awesome to see strigolactones on lemmy. Any other strigolactone researchers out there? I mostly work on the receptor protein D14.

Can't mentally decline if you were never sound of mind in the first place!

Hype, I'm glad they release albums shortly after they announce them - feels like so many bands are like "NEW ALBUM out in 6 months" haha.

Dutton's so much of a spud I'm almost glad he's in charge of the LNP instead of someone more charismatic. Hopefully he never sees any real power. Can't believe that this is even a political issue up for debate, just delay delay delay and never so anything.

 

Cool paper from my field. In every plant species there's a hormone receptor sitting there but we don't know what the hormone is yet! Finding the ligand has become a bit of a holy grail for many researchers. This study finds an endogenous ligand for a divergent homologue of this receptor, not of much consequence to most plant species but still enough to have people turning heads.

I've only listened to the short version so far but I was pleasantly surprised. Not completely sold on the digital drums but if you liked Butterfly 3000 I reckon you might enjoy this one!
