Jesus et Mo – fr

Dans la série il-se-peut-que-je-fasse-un-effort-de-traduction, je me suis dit que je pourrais commencer doucement. Jesus and Mo est un des comics que je suis avec grand plaisir presque depuis ses débuts. Bénéficiant de la licence CC-by-nc-sa qui se propage à la version française. Cliquez pour le grand format.

Avec des vrai morceaux de Moïse dedans aujourd’hui, pour les accommodationistes .

Pensez à visiter le Cafepress de Jesus and Mo, même si mon anniversaire n’est pas pour bientôt. L’article du moment.

Death from the Spirals! Maybe not so much.

Does that mean we’re safe? Well, no.

Fuck! Oh, wait!

[...] the good news is that they are incredibly rare and basically won’t happen for millions of years (in other words, don’t fret)

pfiou…

traductions (à JJG)

Il y a un commentaire par JJG, auquel je n’ai pas répondu de suite parce que je voulais réfléchir un peu avant de prendre un décision.

Et comme le sujet n’est pas trivial je donne la réponse en billet séparé plutôt qu’en commentaire.

How to Build a Better Tree of Life

How to Build a Better Tree of Life § SEEDMAGAZINE.COM:

“Organizing the world’s species into branches on a phylogenetic tree is a major goal of biologists trying to understand how life evolved. DNA-sequencing technologies are providing them with more information than ever with which to accomplish this goal, but with less than 1 percent of all species currently placed in any kind of phylogeny, there is still much work to be done. In a recent paper in Science, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin introduced new tree-building software that could expand the tree of life and change our understanding of evolution.”

@rubp: RT @tweetmeme BioData Product Blog – Carbon Dioxide Affects Fish Ear Structure http://bit.ly/ToOA1 #biodata

Related: Elevated CO2 Enhances Otolith Growth in Young Fish
David M. Checkley, Jr., Andrew G. Dickson, Motomitsu Takahashi, J. Adam Radich, Nadine Eisenkolb, Rebecca Asch

A large fraction of the carbon dioxide added to the atmosphere by human activity enters the sea, causing ocean acidification. We show that otoliths (aragonite ear bones) of young fish grown under high CO2 (low pH) conditions are larger than normal, contrary to expectation. We hypothesize that CO2 moves freely through the epithelium around the otoliths in young fish, accelerating otolith growth while the local pH is controlled. This is the converse of the effect commonly reported for structural biominerals.

Researchers discover new fluorescent silicon nanoparticles

Researchers in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Leicester have developed a new synthesis method, which has led them to the discovery of fluorescent silicon nanoparticles and may ultimately help track the uptake of drugs by the body’s cells.
