- Reposted by Eloy Gálvez LópezAlso this month, Šulcová et al., studied how teeth attach to jaws across vertebrates. In veiled chameleons, firmly ankylosed teeth formed via a transient cell type at the tooth–bone interface showing both osteoblast- and odontoblast-like features. The authors call these theorised cells ankyloblasts

- Reposted by Eloy Gálvez LópezScientists should pay heed to the Epstein scandals. Especially more senior scientists. Everyone is expected to be professional, moral & ethical. But expectations should *increase* with seniority. We're supposed to get wiser, and heed such critical, ugly cautionary tales. Be role models of behaviour.

- Reposted by Eloy Gálvez LópezGeologists, too! Not too long ago someone commented to me that there’s little value in rock sample and core libraries because everything important had surely been digitized. Relatively little has (and, even if it has, it’s hard to run a chemical or physical test on an image or PDF file).
