People who are trained to think in black and white (god/devil, democrats/republicans, pro-immigrants/anti-immigrants, communism/capitalism) risk to fall into a hole of loosing rational people to their cause.

Those people who know there is never a simple answer to complex questions.

Yes - sometimes it's necessary to simplify the situation, but not to the point when one starts calling commies 'antifa' or the disgust towards terrorism and misogyny 'islamophobia'

PS Still, I truly admire wonderful people who went to No Kings protests this week. Hope it will bear fruit and the USA won't turn into a fascist state. That would be a total disaster.

New GBIF dataset

Another one is out under our rotifer project: https://www.gbif.org/dataset/36c840bb-6a98-4c8c-bd29-0b84b426b95c

I truly put my soul into this work, because behind every sample lies a story — and people I hold dear, including those who have already departed from this world.

Dear Dr. Eleonora Ovander-Sedysheva, the work of your entire scientific career is no longer lost; it will now serve hundreds of people for many years to come.
