I don't know if people don't realize just how bad it is for disabled scientists, or they simply don't care....but as I write this, I do hope it's the former. I want people to know that diversity supplements were a LIFELINE for disabled folks like me. 14/

4/n: Our ex vivo culture preserves the natural development as well as the natural interactions of EM cells with the surrounding ectodermal cells. EM cells often migrate in a 2.5D-3D environment and develop normally, making it suitable to study cell-cell interactions.

the finches keep me company throughout but especially in the first few minutes. the doves when they come in are sensitive to me suddenly changing my rowing pace so they keep me consistent. the other birds drop in occasionally to keep things interesting

Here is the full clip of an embryonic myeloid cell transiting from inside to outside of an explant. It's one of my most favorite clips. Note how the nucleus 🔵 is squeezed right at the tissue boundary, and the myosin signal 🔴 goes from rearward to randomly distributed. How cool? #FluorescenceFriday

'Purge tower' sounds like an intriguing, if macabre, bit of history. 'Wipe tower' sounds like a potty training aid. I don't know what to tell you

Bluesky is great because no matter how bad you think things are you are always one retweet away from a leading expert in the field who can explain why they're actually so much worse.

I grew up with a cat that loved Carmen from Bizet, but it had to be sung by Maria Callas, otherwise it didn't fly. This post felt like the only appropriate place to share it.

If I could just design an easy-to-apply skin that made crappy PVA strand holes look like part of an elegant aesthetic, we'd all be millionaires tomorrow

Sproinger! Sproinger! Everyone look at the two sproingers in here, SufB and SufD! www.rcsb.org/3d-view/11MP/1 I bet they'd sproing like the green one in this picture, but even FUNNERER

A virus-shaped bowl filled haphazardly with a colorful variety of plastic protein backbones. They range from about two to five inches long, and they take a variety of forms, but all are loose spirals. Some have three vaguely equal sides, some have four, and some have two long sides and two short sides.

A thumb and finger are compressing one of the models like a spring.

The green sproinger on the left is from PDB ID 3P4G (X-ray crystal structure of a hyperactive, Ca2+-dependent, beta-helical antifreeze protein from an Antarctic bacterium) - https://www.rcsb.org/3d-view/3P4G/1

let me phrase this differently: trainees: what papers did your advisors hand to you to read before starting your project? PIs: what papers do you share with your trainees?

This paper is incredible!, but also,

Gottmik wearing a headpiece that reminds me overwhelmingly of figures D and E in the quoted post. (Yes, I know Latrice Royale wore a similar look years earlier, but this one looks way more like the figure.)
