This work has been a long time in the works, and it is great to finally have it out! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.... Thanks to @moorefound.bsky.social for support that led to this, as a spin-off of our intestinal organoid work (the scRNAseq began to characterize intestinal cell types)

Second new preprint of the week: Postdocs Arshad Padhiar and Maria Rodgers and collaborators describe the morphology, cell content (scRNAseq), gene expression, histology of the stickleback intestine. We present a method for building #stickleback gut organoids www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... /t

Love this rebuttal of one aspect of the Coyne blog. If you see other threads explaining how that blog post is wrong, feel free to drop them below. Also, thanks Dan for helping explain some stuff we see in our dissections wrt eggs/testes. 🧪🐟

Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.

Are gene expression responses to an immune challenge conserved over macroevolutionary time? Not so much... in a new preprint we measure & compare differential expression in response to an immune adjuvant, in 14 fishes sampled from across Actinopterygii www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Reposting because this story is so wild: A scientist for the company that created Scotch Tape & Post-its discovered its toxic chemicals in human blood in the ‘90s. Despite findings showing widespread contamination, her research was stopped by executives who kept the information secret

Toxic Gaslighting: How 3M Executives Convinced a Scientist the Forever Chemicals She Found in Human Blood Were Safe

Decades ago, Kris Hansen showed 3M that its PFAS chemicals were in people’s bodies. Her bosses halted her work. As the EPA now forces the removal of the chemicals from drinking water, she wrestles wit...

I can’t get enough of these studies about how amazingly effective the HPV vaccine is at preventing cancer. What an extraordinary public health intervention. Also thank you to the editors who are rightly illustrating stories about vaccines not with needles, but with people who are smiling and happy.
