Really good summary on metabolic scaling. One question remains: How did they know what's the safe dose of LSD for cats?? 😡😡😡 youtu.be/tL9Lw250spc?...
Why does every mammal get 1 billion heartbeats in their life?YouTube video by Veritasiumyoutu.beIf you are attending NSO-GfÖ 2026, you can now register for my 0.5-day workshop "Nonlinear curve fitting in R with brms".

Workshops ⇽ Joint NSO–GfÖ Conference 2026 | Nordic Society Oikosnordicsocietyoikos.glueup.com📦 The {BayesFR} package is now on CRAN! It allows fitting functional responses by providing dynamical prediction models for use in #brms. Includes many trophic interaction models, and now also multi-species models. #Rstats (1/3)

Wenn ihr sowenig Ahnung von Botanik habt wie ich, scannt eure Gärten mal mit der floraincognita App und wundert euch was sich dort alles so findet!
iDiv Biodiversity Research🌸 Innerhalb von vier Wochen, vom 22. Mai bis zum Sommeranfang am 21. Juni, sind Gärtnerinnen und Gärtner aus ganz Deutschland eingeladen, eine möglichst vollständige Inventur ihres Gartens vorzunehmen. 🌼🌿 #Bürgerwissenschaft #GartenDiv @unileipzig.bsky.social www.idiv.de/de/buergerwi...
