Waning 21% crescent #moon and #Jupiter rising over dawn skies in Southeast England right now

Moon is a one-fifth crescent, pale and orange, with the shadowed part faintly visible. Jupiter is a bright star-like dot at 7 o’clock to the moon with about 3 moon lengths between them. Although the actual sky is a faint pink, the phone camera is rendering it grey.

I adore #coffee in its many iterations, but one of my favourite ways to have it is prepared on a campfire — especially on a lovely autumn afternoon

I'm guessing I'm not the only academic spending their weekend frantically finalising teaching materials for next week (solidarity). As I plot out the assessment schedule using Excel, I am reminded of one of my favourite memes of all time... #AcademicSky

$From AI: The famous internet meme is a chaotic Venn diagram featuring three overlapping circles: Incel, Microsoft Excel, and "me eating a fig."The Core JokeThe Intersection: The central punchline where all three circles overlap is incorrectly assuming something is a date.Excel constantly mistakes normal numbers, fractions, or codes (like 01-03 or gene identifiers) for calendar dates and auto-formats them.Incels (involuntary celibates) are stereotypically known for misinterpreting basic, polite friendliness from a woman or acquaintance as a romantic date."Me eating a fig" represents the literal mistake of mistaking a fig for a date (the dried fruit) at the market.Other Layered Jokes in the DiagramSheets that are never clean: Excel spreadsheets get messy with bad data, incels are stereotypically stereotyped as having poor hygiene/dirty bedsheets, and eating a fig can get messy.Dying gasp of wasps: Wild figs are pollinated by female wasps that occasionally get trapped and die inside the fruit, tying into the bizarre absurdism of the meme.$

"This divergence between lung and blood suggests tissue-specific epigenetic remodeling following SARS-CoV-2 infection and underscores the limitations of relying solely on peripheral blood to capture disease-relevant molecular changes in PCC."

How can a single antibiotic halt translation across all domains of life? 🧬 Our new study in Nucleic Acids Research reveals how Sparsomycin traps active ribosomes through a conserved mechanism. academic.oup.com/nar/article/... #Ribosome #Translation #StructuralBiology #Antibiotics #RNA #iTPseq

Graphical representation of the T. thermophilus 70S ribosome showing the 30S and 50S subunits, mRNA, and P-site tRNA. Sparsomycin (yellow) binds in the peptidyl transferase center at the interface between the A and P sites. The enlarged view shows sparsomycin occupying the A-site cleft adjacent to the P-site fMet-tRNA, closely contacting its 3′ CCA end (C74, C75 and A76) and the attached fMet.
