Bad vibes all around on the timeline, here’s a sweet image of a galaxy that looks like a perfect saucer surrounded by a ghostly halo. You can even see a tidal stream in the lower middle part of the image; this galaxy (M 104) had a snack recently. apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap26052...

Excited to share our discovery of a new programmable RNA-guided DNA-targeting system hiding inside bacteriophages that predates CRISPR. We call it VIPR (Viral Interference Programmable Repeat), and it uses an entirely new logic to find its targets. Thread + link below.

Noise is key to evolution; entropy is key to metabolism. We have to stop pretending that biology fights against these things rather than relying on them!

🦑 Die Cephalopoden der Plankton-Expedition Kiel: Lipsius & Tischer, 1912. [Source]

Historical scientific illustration from 1912 showing various detailed sketches of squid and their anatomical features, including full body views from different angles, close-ups of tentacles with suction cups, and detailed depictions of heads and eyes. The squids are numbered and arranged neatly on a beige background, highlighting differences in form, structure, and texture. The image serves as a comprehensive study of cephalopod morphology collected during the Plankton Expedition, emphasizing scientific observation of squid anatomy.

🪷 Den Norske Nordhavs-expedition, 1876-1878 Christiania, Grøndahl & søns bogtrykkeri, 1880-1901. [Source]

Illustration from the Norwegian North Sea Expedition (1876-1878) published by Christiania, Grøndahl & søns bogtrykkeri (1880-1901), depicting detailed scientific drawings of Alcyonida coral species. The image shows numerous numbered sketches illustrating two species: Vöringia polaris (figures 1-40) and Vöringia pygmæa (figures 41-90). The corals are drawn in various forms and magnifications, highlighting their branching structures, textures, and polyps. The detailed black and white line art captures naturalistic shapes and intricate surface patterns typical of soft corals, intended for taxonomic study. The plate is labeled with expedition and author information at the top and species names at the bottom.

🌟 Merry Christmas from a newborn star. Earlier this year the NASA/ESA/CSA #Webb Space Telescope took this stunning image of HH30, an edge-on protoplanetary disc. 🧪🔭 🔗 esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Webb/Webb_investigates_a_dusty_and_dynamic_disc

A close-in image of a protoplanetary disc around a newly formed star. Many different wavelengths of light are combined and represented by separate and various colours. A dark line across the centre is the disc, made of opaque dust: the star is hidden in here and creates a strong glow in the centre. A band going straight up is a jet, while other outflows form flares above and below the disc, and a tail coming off to one side.

Some cells are just in it for the drama! The bottom 5 microns of cells videoed through a microscope by @EmmaKoory. The middle cell rounds up (for fun?) and subsequently rounds up to divide. We missed so much of the action by just sampling the bottom. @CellBiology

Proteins are dynamic structures, but structural biology often shows them as static snapshots. Inspired by long-exposure photography and generative art, I built ProteinCHAOS, an artistic tool inspired by molecular dynamics to capture protein flexibility over time, much like long-exposure images.
