Armed with a colander and a piece of paper stuck to an apple tree and I am watching the eclipse begin in an unnecessarily excitable way! The dog could not care less...
Ooof you're right being an adult is hard in these situations. Sending lots of good dog vibes your way...
Tell me you're a histologist without telling me you're a histologist...
So....these data show that there is a difference between the blue and purple groups. The p value is insane, around 10^-17. But their n....is two. Nowhere in the methods can I find a model for the stats, the legend says 'wilcoxon pairs' and the methods say 't-tests and ANOVAs'. This is in Nature 🧪

On AL taking a morning walk with the dog in the woods pondering how well my dystopian novel idea about a world full of thin people who don't talk in real life will play out with the times best seller list...
What did you do with your afternoon? Was it spend some time making a frozen chew out of strawberry tops and probiotic yoghurt for your dog? No? Then you, my friend, have missed out on joy. #dogsofbluesky
Gardening people, I have a question. I have the centauria on the left, which we planted, very dark purple. The one on the right has popped up next to the first and is quite a different colour, this seems too coincidental to blame on birds but too much of a colour shift for genetic drift... 🌱
