Here because Twitter is all bots. I like science, economics, video games, animation, fantasy literature and adventurous sports. I also procrastinate engaging in all of it.

If the tip of the main stem is lost, auxin is no longer produced by it and side branches are allowed to grow upwards. They then compete until one takes control as the new lead and begins to suppress the others (again, through auxin production). This allows the tree to resume upward growth, as before

Great question. This is what's called apical dominance - where the main stem is allowed to grow upwards and side branch growth is suppressed. This is important for trees to grow tall (and not like bushes) and happens through release of a hormone called auxin by the tip of the main stem.

I regret to inform you that I am now a middle aged lady who raves about vitamin D supplements and has taken up yoga. I took a class & then a nap today & let me tell you that if I was rich &/or unencumbered enough to do this 3x a week I might live forever.

It's 2025. "Online" is not a separate space that doesn't count. It's our primary communication medium. It's where nearly all propaganda is disseminated. It's where the broader discourse happens. It's an incredible tool that's still new, and we need to learn to master it. [1/n]
