So excited to share our new paper (open access!) that was worth countless dissections:

Gue gak pernah semarah ini ngeliat industri psikologi Indonesia yang menjual asesmen berbasis trend kayak gini.
Mentang-mentang ADHD dewasa lagi rame, lantas masang layanan asesmen ADHD dewasa tanpa punya kompetensi (ketebak dari instrumennya yang NGACO).
Ini klo di amrik fenomenany “urban anonymity”: sesama strangers gk perlu interaksi samsek wlopun brbagi ruang yg sama, plg brasa di nyc (kontras klo dibandingin sm “southern warmth”, strangers bs saling ngobrol kyk temen aja)
imo liat konteks sosiokultural klo mslh pantes gakny

Realitanya mmg bejibun bgt yg namanya “broker berbulu peneliti” di nkri
Mrk cuma peduli kuantitas kredit, bukan kualitas & sumbangsih yg relevan dari riset itu sendiri
Ya tergantung bidangnya juga sih
Untuk biodiversitas hutan rawa gambut bisa dibilang sangat-sangat kurang
Data keanekaragaman ikan rawa gambut aja sangat2 minim, kalo bukan gak ada sama sekali

1. CRISPR came from basic research on bacteria.
2. Optogenetics started with a discovery in algae.
3. The GFP protein comes from jellyfish.
The biggest breakthroughs all trace to scientists follow their curiosity. This is one huge reason why we must keep funding basic research!

Why do large dogs tend to live shorter lives than their smaller counterparts?
The answer may be written into their epigenome, according to a new study in Science. The findings reveal that larger and male dogs undergo accelerated molecular aging, with pronounced DNA methylation on the X chromosome and at transposable elements.

A species of lungfish found in South America has claimed the title of the animal with the biggest genome sequenced so far.
The DNA of Lepidosiren paradoxa comprises a staggering 91 billion chemical letters or “bases,” 30 times as many as the human genome, researchers reported in 2024.
However, those 91 billion bases of DNA only contain about the same number of genes that humans have—roughly 20,000—with the rest consisting of noncoding, perhaps even “junk” DNA.
By comparing this genome with those of other lungfishes, the researchers determined that L. paradoxa adds the equivalent of a human genome to its DNA every 10 million years.

Mungkin perlu dibedain kasus yg “gak mau milih coba xyz krn emg gk pernah nyoba (pdhl ternyata doyan)” sama “emg gk suka krn pernah nyoba ternyata gk suka”
Krn selain faktor lingkungan yg mungkin umumnya dominan (acquired taste), picky eater jg bisa jadi ada komponen genetiknya
Aku ada sentimental dengan rawon 🥺
Ibukku gak doyan ayam potong dan daging sapi. Jadi pas kecil aku gak dikasih makan daging sapi dan ayam potong, bahkan rawon gak dibolehin makan.
Jadi pas SD ada acara hajatan tetangga, semua temenku makan rawon. Terus ada tetangga kasih makanan ke aku juga nasi rawon, waktu itu mau kumakan karena enak banget aromanya. Dan ada togenya aku suka toge mentah.
Tiba2 ibukku marah2in aku, katanya itu daging sapi dan diambil nasi rawonku blm sempet kumakan. Sampe ibukku jg di marahin tetanggaku krn gara2 makanan aja jadi ribut, aku nangis dan pulang ke rumah.

Di biologi, ada yg namanya intraspecific parasitism kok, gak musti beda spesies juga
Contohnya bbrp ikan deep-sea anglerfish, justru jantan itu parasit ke betinanya & jadinya disebut intraspecific obligate sexual parasitism
Status “keturunan langsung (offspring)” & kriteria “musti spesies yg beda”, bahkan “regulasi kooperatif yg kompleks dr host” gak serta-merta bs dipakai buat memfalsifikasi predikat parasit
Yg bs dipakai utk falsifikasi parasitisme itu di level konseptual (ekologis & ontologis):
