A litter of Doberman puppies turned out to be the best remedy for a German Shepherd going through a very difficult time. She was put in charge of looking after them, and little by little, the little ones brought back her joy. Original post

A heartwarming moment where a stranger patiently connects with an abandoned stray dog who didn't trust humans. Calm, kindness, and love ultimately prevail. Original post

Computer scientist Margaret Hamilton coined the term “software engineer.” She directed the Software Engineering Division at MIT’s Instrumentation Lab & led development of the on-board flight software for NASA’s Apollo Guidance Computer. She was born #OTD in 1936 & turns 90 today! #WomenInSTEM

Two side-by-side black-and-white photographs of pioneering computer scientist Margaret Hamilton (born August 17, 1936). The left panel features a mature, close-up portrait where Hamilton gazes directly at the viewer with a serene, confident, and reflective expression, framed by her long, dark, slightly silvering hair. The right panel is a famous archival photograph showing a younger Hamilton standing indoors next to a towering stack of bound paper binders containing the Apollo Guidance Computer source code, which she led the development of at MIT. She is smiling broadly and wears a striped, long-sleeved mini dress with dark Mary Jane shoes and glasses, resting her hand proudly on top of the massive column of printed code. The overall composition contrasts her youthful triumph with her enduring legacy, capturing an optimistic, intellectually rigorous mood that highlights her monumental contributions to space exploration.

In the tropics & subtropics, drought-deciduous flowering trees are especially showy because they flower before the leaves emerge, i.e., they are protoanthous. Here’s Jacaranda mimosifolia. 📷: John CCBYSA2 #protoanthy #Bignoniaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Aligning #scRNAseq datasets along a shared temporal axis across studies, species & systems is hard. This study uses meta-analytic models to develop a #transcriptomic measure of #neurodevelopmental timing that is applicable to different organisms & tissue types @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4ch0XiX

Meta-analysis of human brain single-cell data to identify tissue-level and cell-autonomous predictors of neurodevelopmental age. Left: Neurodevelopment involves tissue-level changes in brain cell type composition and cell-autonomous transcriptomic maturation within individual cell types. Using a meta-analysis of recent single-cell datasets from the fetal human brain, we independently evaluate these features to identify robust patterns that consistently predict neurodevelopmental age across datasets. Right: Distribution of sample ages in 13 fetal brain datasets included in meta-analysis.
