A protoplast-based method to visualize early cell biological events in plant cellular reprogramming and regeneration
Summary: This study presents a live-imaging platform for tracking individual plant protoplasts in culture, enabling analysis of cellular processes, signaling dynamics and developmental transitions.

A few years ago I made a slide showing the top 10 results if you search Google Image for "cartoon scientist". In my slide, 10/10 are white men. Someone asked if this is still true, so I tried again. Here below you have 24 images. 20 are men, 4 are women (progress!). 23 are white, 1 is blue 🤔
A screenshot showing cartoon drawings of scientist. All are wearing white lab coats. most are men, any with white or crazy hair. Most wear glasses. Four out of 24 are clearly women, the rest appear to be men. 23 out of 24 look white, and one is sort of blue seems to be not entirely human.
