Berry Go Round #1

Welcome to Berry Go Round, a new plant’s carnival. This is the first edition, so I took the freedom to prospect and feed it with posts from the last two months (a few unsolicited articles found their way into the present edition as well). Since plant blogging is growing fast these weeks, I think BGR [...]

Gone a few days

Actually gone to the Berry. Berry Go Round #1 is already set and just waiting to appear on this blog the 28th. If you sent a submission quite lately (e.g. yesterday), I’ll be editing the post later when I return… Sorry for the inconvenience. I guess you can’t be in the Berry and edit it too!

Retraites: la face cachee du debat…

Ah ces chiffres, que serait donc le bon sens? Juste une question d’argent? Ici pour un rebond qu’on esperera plein de rebondissements…

Whatever the reason is, scientist women are apparently suffering a real bias during the peer-review [...]

Oekologie #13

Oekologie # 13 is up at the Infite Sphere (oops I’m a few days late!). This carnival is around since one year already… Happy birthday and good reading!

Bizonoplasts

Cell organells always had a deep poetic appeal to my mind. Not only did the chloroplasts or even the mitochondria bell into fantastic and colourful visions of ballooning bubbles, refreshing the cytoplasmic protoplasmic soup, but so were all the other pet-like plastids populating rather specialized and exotic cells. Just like the chromoplasts of petals, the amyloplasts of [...]

Molecular Bio Cell

Really cool animation of intracellular cell life…
Une video trés réussie de la vie a l’intérieur d’une cellule. Si vous souhaitez voire l’objet un peu plus devéloppé, c’est ici et en francais pour une fois…

Green eyes, follow up.

Ah, I’m not the only one to love green eyes, but can have this there too (plus an extra yellow pajama).

Living room

There’s something strange in our current unemployment situation. Our living room turned into both living-, tea- or eventually bed-room, but it’s also a working-room where we do our (running) science (home)works such as writing, analysing and… thinking. And it’s a bit strange to have all of this happening in a mere 20 m². (This is probably possible thanks [...]

Internet Looping

This is a self-centered post (but it’s still eccentric).
