#Time is a human #invention that compares the void between events.
I never know what to #write in this #introduction thing. Maybe because I don't really know who I am or maybe I'm a mixture of many things.
Anyway, my name is Gustavo and I live in #Jundiaí, the city of #grapes, in #Brazil. I am currently a #PhD student in #biochemistry and the #question I am trying to answer is:
Is it possible to use the knowledge of the #plant #circadianclock to increase the efficiency of #weedmanagement in #sorghum crop?
At the same time I trying to answer what is #time?
In between, I make #music and #dance to the #rhythms of #life. It's like @neilhimself says in his profile: "It is too late now!"
And that's it! I joined this instance because I like the #idea behind questions. @freemo seems to have created something special here. Thanks!
It will be a pleasure to meet you all!

Thomas Hunt Morgan was born #OTD in 1866.
He was an American evolutionary biologist, geneticist, embryologist, and science author who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1933 for discoveries elucidating the role that the chromosome plays in heredity.
During his distinguished career, Morgan wrote 22 books and 370 scientific papers. As a result of his work, "Drosophila" became a major model organism in contemporary genetics. via @wikipedia

We could sequester CO2 by “re-greening” arid lands, plant scientists say
https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1001623
ahem, I think that 1) desert ecologists will want to have a word, and 2) once you've regreened the land, others will want to "develop" it for their uses, so it may end up under asphalt etc like the rest of the planet?
I would be ok with regreening land that has desertified recently eg due to anthropogenic change.
Caribbean box jellyfish don't have a central nervous system or brain, but the animals can learn, study says https://www.google.com/url?rct=j&sa=t&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2023%2F09%2F22%2Fworld%2Fjellyfish-brain-central-nervous-system-learning-scn%2Findex.html&ct=ga&cd=CAIyGjhkNWEwOGZjMjBkZTUxYzc6Y29tOmVuOlVT&usg=AOvVaw2wa5SlnT1ir-09wSCxAoj9&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Science #Technology

Could the impact of Michaelis-Menten's work on #biochemistry be compared to the impact of Newton's work on #physics?
One of the varieties we'll be planting is known as #cafe guamo or cafe brazil around these parts. People often say this is a wild variety of #coffee, but it is yet another import from the colonial period (It's been traced back to Uganda) that naturalized into the local environment. This particular species of lyberica coffee grows as a tree - up to 20 meters tall - and is much appreciated for its distinctly strong yet fruity flavor with little to no bitterness.

TIL Siemens, the unit of conductance, has an old equivalent called "mho". A reverse of ohmΩ, a unit of resistance, with inverted omega ℧.

Monitoring spring leaf phenology of individual trees in a temperate forest fragment with multi-scale satellite time series ($)
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0034425723003413
A new monitoring framework uses remote sensing and deep learning to track spring phenology (study of life cycles) in fragmented forests. It accurately captures crucial lifecycle events of trees-ideal tool for tracking climate change impact on forest ecosystems 🌳
