I wonder how long it will be to 20k? 100k?11 Sep 2026 15:14 +0000at://did:plc:b3t6tkvujvmh5t7d3dhok52t/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvau7h66222nhttps://bsky.app/profile/hanliconius.bsky.social/post/3mufrjttukc2hI will never not find it funny that the DC metro named its undergrad discounted ticket system UPass.31 Aug 2026 20:44 +0000at://did:plc:b3t6tkvujvmh5t7d3dhok52t/app.bsky.feed.post/3mufrjttukc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/hanliconius.bsky.social/post/3mtwga26po22uDolly Parton spent decades quietly giving millions a year to Imagination Library, a program to buy books for kids all across the world. Her father never learnt to read or write, and she wanted to make sure kids from poorer backgrounds had the chances her community didn't always get. What a legend.25 Aug 2026 18:12 +0000at://did:plc:b3t6tkvujvmh5t7d3dhok52t/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtwga26po22uhttps://bsky.app/profile/hanliconius.bsky.social/post/3mt2ofcnyuk2sbig fan of the idea of wind turbines joining the Heliocnius red-black-yellow mimicry ring. (Does this qualify as Mullerian mimicry?)

Only a handful of genomes on there for now though!04 Aug 2026 16:37 +0000at://did:plc:b3t6tkvujvmh5t7d3dhok52t/app.bsky.feed.post/3msbh5lyssk2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/hanliconius.bsky.social/post/3ms6ubd67j22iReally quite remarkable preprint from Wei Lu and the Kronforst lab, diving into the cellular evolutionary mechanisms behind mate choice in Heliconius. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.07.22.740151v103 Aug 2026 15:54 +0000at://did:plc:b3t6tkvujvmh5t7d3dhok52t/app.bsky.feed.post/3ms6ubd67j22ihttps://bsky.app/profile/hanliconius.bsky.social/post/3mrsmeasxys2oIn @dev-journal.bsky.social, an 'In Preprints' perspective on our recent biorxiv paper.
