Whether caecilians lay eggs or give birth to babies, they are some of the most devoted mothers in the animal kingdom. Once thought to simply abandon their eggs (as that is the norm for most amphibians), it has now been proved that female caecilians will stay with and guard their nests, even remaining with the babies for up to six weeks after they have hatched. But the really amazing thing is how mother caecilians feed their young.
The unborn babies of live-bearing caecilians develop special teeth while still in the womb, and nourish themselves by using those teeth to scrape off and consume the cells lining their mother?s oviducts. Several species of egg-laying caecilians, on the other hand, demonstrate a unique behaviour known as ?maternal dermatotrphy?. The mother?s skin cells grow larger and contain more fat, and her brood uses specialised teeth (some blunt scrapers and others sharp hooks) to peel off this skin and devour it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K6szXrBHwM). The female caecilian will regrow this skin every three days so that her young can continue to feed. Not to worry, though; this outer layer of skin is dead, so having it chewed off doesn?t hurt the mother.

QuoteIn a piece of scientific detective work spanning centuries, researchers have finally discovered the source of a classical nova witnessed by Korean royal astronomers on 11 March 1437. The nova, a giant thermonuclear explosion, lingered as a bright spot between two stars in the constellation Wei?a part of Scorpius?for 14 days before vanishing. Using x-ray, ultraviolet, and photographic images from as far back as 1923, the team traced its source to what is now a dim star in Scorpius, they report today in Nature. The images showed the expanding shell of hydrogen ejected by the explosion. Unlike a supernova, in which stars blow themselves apart with terrifying finality, classical novae are smaller events in which gas from one star in a closely spaced binary system is captured by the other star, accumulating until it erupts in a giant thermonuclear explosion. Classical novae are believed to occur on multithousand-year cycles,

Quote from: "Practical problems in exploration: Seed crops", 1975"The potential value of a collection cannot be assessed in the field. Perhaps this statement could best be illustrated by PI 178383, a wheat I collected in a remote part of Eastern Turkey in 1948. It is a miserable looking wheat, tall, thin-stemmed, lodges badly, is susceptible to leaf rust, lacks winter hardiness yet is difficult to vernalize, and has poor baking qualities. Understandably, no one paid any attention to it for some 15 years. Suddenly, stripe rust became serious in the north-western states and PI 178383 turned out to be resistant to four races of stripe rust, 35 races of common bunt, ten races of dwarf bunt and to have good tolerance to flag smut and snow mould. The improved cultivars based on PI 178383 are reducing losses by a matter of some millions of dollars per year."

The way to counter this, is to teach robots to be lazy and corrupt. Just think about a robot who just sits around all day and watches reality television (featuring robots who sleep with each other's significant others, backstab, and generally be petty).
Now I know why the angels taught us how to make weapons and wear make up.

How was that done? Silver vapour in a closed container, and they slowly lower the temperature? or, wait, that would turn into silver condensation. Also a container that hot would probably radiate in the visible spectrum, glowing.

The caption from wikipedia says "Silver crystals forming on a copper surface in a silver nitrate solution"
So they are forming in a liquid saturated with silver, similar to how crystals form in caves. To be fair, ice crystals work the same way but we often forget that air is a solution filled with water

QuoteThe most familiar strategy of cooperative behavior among such microorganism is attractive chemotaxis. Colonies of the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum bacteria, when deprived of heat or moisture, start up their cross-talk, this communication allows them to aggregate into multicellular bodies that are more fit survive hardship. Certain cells, called pioneer cells, release pulse of the compound cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), and nearby cells then follow this chemical trail to its source. Once a cell has emitted a burst of the chemoattractant, it falls silence for several minute, as if recuperating from the exertion. This refractory period means that, when a slime mold colony starts to undergo chemotaxis, it behaves as an excitable medium, then there is no surprise that the slime mold shows target and spiral patterns as BZ retraction.

Cool aerospace technology. We gotta do more supercap projects at wetfish
I have many of them, supercapacitors are really cool n_n

Definitely fucked up, but still interesting. There's actually a really good dramatized documentary about this. Though, Veritasium makes it so much more educational.

Wow this is so cool! 🔥. I hadnt realized hydrogen was so clean! I really hope we switch to it despite it not being as profitable. Hate that Koloma indented is owned by Jeff Bazos tho. I hope there is a push in the USA to go green with hydrogen and switch to hydrogen cars. Especially since we have so much of it apparently! ⛽️

Wow I got on a rabbit hole with this content creator. She seems very empirical and studies/picks apart research articles well. I do, however disagree with some of her points in some of her videos on transgender people. Her language being perhaps politically incorrect, especially given the invalidating & bio-esentialist language already present in science literature. Her points also seem somewhat invalidating of trans identities (or rather the wording and questions she asks & the conclusions she draws)
I recommend looking at her other videos on trans people. She makes great points, supporting the scientific validitity of transition... she also makes... questionable points & chooses to focus on some points that are... *ahem*... not something I would say as a social worker, activist/organizer, or someone who thinks about how language affects public opinion. (That being, trans identities being politicized and her authority as a researcher having power in those narratives. Harmful or good) Especially since some of her points are narratives I've heard the right use as punchs/ammunition. She's a scientist tho, which is not something to discredit *cough*, so I'll give her the pass. Especially since she's also bringing up unquestionable details that validates the trans experience (leaving out such details would certainly show her bias otherwise, showing she's pretty good at looking at all sides).

It's always a struggle when identities become validated and invalidated by science, such that that science has authority in a politically oppressive context.

🏳️⚧️Biggest taboo hypothetical question in Ethics on Transgender Science;
What if they find the part of the brain that coorilates with being transgender. Would a drug that makes a person who transgender into a person who is Cis via drugs, be ethical?

Camels store 1.1 grams of water for every 1 gram of fat they burn because oxygen from the air bonds with hydrogen from the fat and becomes water. So essentially the fat stores more water by volume than if they had a bladder full of water by itself 🤯

Wow that is cool 🤓
hank green talks about a cool space fact while monching chips. If the universe was infinite, the sky would be white because there would have been infinite time for an infinite number of stars to form at various distances and for their light to reach earth. Therefore there must have been an explicit start to our universe
