"Für viele Menschen sind die Angriffe vom 7. Oktober deshalb ein weiteres Glied in der langen Kette von Verfolgung und Pogromen. Das sind Erzählungen und Geschichten, die jeder in Israel aus der eigenen Familie kennt."

Wieder ein sehr eindrücklicher Beitrag von Meron #Mendel (gilt übrigens auch unbedingt für "Über Israel reden").

tagesschau.de · 100 Tage nach Hamas-Angriff: "Retraumatisierung einer ganzen Gesellschaft"100 Tage nach dem Angriff der Hamas-Terroristen erlebt der Historiker Meron Mendel Israel als anhaltend schockiert. Er schildert, wie der Angriff das Selbstverständnis Israels erschüttert hat - und warum dort wenig Raum für Empathie bleibt.
SpringerLinkMendelism: Connecting the Dots Across Centuries - Cytology and GeneticsThe year 2022 paid a bicentennial tribute to the phenomenal work of the father of Genetics, Gregor Johann Mendel for deciphering the genetic logic behind the phenotypes. His principles were distilled as the law of segregation and law of independent assortment. His work was rediscovered 34 yr later by H. De Vries, C. Correns, and E. Tschermak and popularized by W. Bateson. While C. Darwin accounted for similarities among organisms through the differences in the form of evolution, G. Mendel accounted for similarities through heredity; the ideological gaps were bridged mathematically by R. Fisher. Later with the test of time, the interaction among researchers paved Mendelian principles into different branches of genetics viz., cytogenetics, molecular genetics, population genetics, quantitative genetics, etc. At present we have landed in the era of genomics and the emerging field of phenomics which have potential to bridge the huge gap between demand and supply in different agro-industrial and allied goods. The need to connect the budding researchers in the field of genetics with Mendelism and its significance, catalyzed our concentrated effort to link Mendelism across the centuries, highlighting its importance and extrapolating the concept of heredity and variation from garden peas to different life forms. In conclusion, as our knowledge on genetics deepens, more insights on underlying mechanisms and subsequent applications will be witnessed.

Just watched a couple of brilliant YouTube videos by biologist Jake Brown

(I was going to support Jake via his Patreon page, but unfortunately he’s not accepting new subscribers at the moment)

I'm reading a book by Kampourakis "Making sense of genes" and he argues that #Mendel "studied hybridization and not heredity" and "did not discover that heredity was particulate in nature".

While that may be true (I dont yet know), the author's narrative doesnt convince me. Mendel's hybridization were crosses and he compared traits across generations. Even though Mendel didn't use the word #heredity, isn't that still heredity?

Exploring further....
