Importance of trading #1: Trading promotes economic growth by expanding market reach. It allows businesses to access a wider customer base, both domestically and internationally, driving competition and innovation. #EconomicGrowth #MarketExpansion
🚨Exciting pre-print from the lab!👉"Pervasive evolution of tissue-specificity of ancestral genes differentially shaped vertebrates and insects". Deep comparative #transcriptomics across #bilateria by @FedeMantica et al @CRGenomica. 👀biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Summary👇
How has tissue-specific gene expression evolved since the origin of bilaterian animals all the way to extant vertebrates and insects? To address this, we assembled a vast RNA-seq dataset covering 8 tissues and 20 species, generating 95 new RNA-seq samples for 15 species. 1/16 
Importantly, our study was entirely designed around a symmetric #phylogeny for the vertebrate and insect branches, allowing us to identify ancestral features but also parallel, convergent and divergent evolutionary trajectories between and within the two bilaterian lineages. 2/16
The problem with doing a #PhD degree is that it makes you highly specialized in a minuscule area of academic interest.
Utter rubbish!
Sheer waste of time, financial resources and cognitive capabilities.

Many people who are struggling to find decent work after Postgraduate Qualification, such as MSc/MA/MBA, end up enrolling on a #PhD Degree program.
How bloody melancholic that is!?
Seen many such cases in Life and Hard Sciences.

Adam Smith famously begins #WealthofNations with a discussion on the #divisionoflabor. Few things are as impactful as #specialization within a market setting á la Say's Law. However, Smith also claimed that the division of labor is limited by the 'extent' of the market. This is
often interpreted as population size, which is not quite accurate. Durkheim instead argued population density is required to facilitate specialization: the extent of the market is better understood as people's ability to interact with each other by buying, selling, contracting,
etc. This is why we generally see cities as engines of growth, not rural areas. A part of what made Industrialization so impactful was people leaving their (miserable) lives on farms to seek opportunities to make a living in cities: the migration of people itself facilitated
