Query: What do you recommend for PDF reading that allows highlighting and annotation -- for a PC? Yes, I'm an old fogey and have relied on pen-and-ink until now. And yes, it's probably time to move digital. But no, the Adobe world is NOT an answer. And cloud-services are a no-go; I'm on rural internet Suggestions? #AcademicChatter #AmWriting #Research #Tools #PDFAnnotation

🌸 Do you enjoy cherry blossoms? We are looking for a future group member to explore the genetic mechanisms behind coloration in cherry flowers and fruits. The project focuses on tissue-specific gene expression and its role in ornamental plants and crops. 🔗 Details: https://www.izmb.uni-bonn.de/en/pbb/teaching#cherry #PlantScience #Genetics #Botany #AcademicJobs #Research @PuckerLab@genomic.social @samnm@mstdn.science

I’m glad to share my paper on publication activity and migration trends of Ukrainian SSH scholars during the first two years of the full-scale war. 👉 https://www.jscires.org/article/15/1/124 The key finding: the most productive researchers have largely remained in #Ukraine and many have maintained or even increased their publication activity, despite the challenges. #Science #OpenScience #Bibliometrics #HigherEducation #Scientometrics #Research #Academia

"For two decades, “social media” has been the master lens through which scholars have understood digital communication—an era defined by user-generated content, networked publics, and participatory culture. That era is drawing to a close." https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/6nue7_v1 #SocialMedia #research

Farmers, scientists aim to manage risks of nitrogen fertilizer Researchers at the University of Regina and the University of Saskatchewan tested the urea fertilizer, which helps feed two-thirds of the global population. After adding it to farm ponds, they found the product degraded water quality and is a widespread threat to freshwater sources. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/farmers-scientists-aim-to-manage-risks-of-nitrogen-fertilizer-9.7170658?cmp=rss

This week, I had the opportunity to stay 2 nights at the Pic du Midi #Observatory, in the french Pyrénées. I captured some #timelapse from this site, which is still magical. I was astonished by the dynamism of this observatory: new domes, new #instruments, new projects and new buildings. #Research in #astronomy in the metropolitan #France is performing like a charm. I fully support its application to the @unesco@mastodon.social ! #Nightphotography #Photography #Landscape #Sunset #Astrophotography #Space #Sky #Night #video #PicDuMidi #Science

"As well as revealing the extent of the [clitoral] nerves that are crucial to orgasms, the work shows that some of what medics are learning about the anatomy of the clitoris is wrong, and could help prevent women who have pelvic operations from ending up with poorer sexual function." https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/mar/29/full-network-clitoral-nerves-mapped-out-first-time-women-pelvic-surgery #healthcare #biomedical #research #women #WomensHealth #SexualHealth
