Know the difference.

A microscope on the left, an identical one on the right except that it's glowing green. The left is captioned "Fluoresence Microscope", the right "Flueorescent microcscope"

It's almost Elfstranger season! Meanwhile, at the upside-down lab we have created this elfish #demogorgon glowing design by depositing genetically engineered E. coli onto black agar plates #OpentronsArt #SciArt #StrangerThings5 #ScoutElfReturnWeek

Wonderful today's keynote lecture by @ceesdekker.bsky.social I wonder if nanopore in the future could not just discriminate between single amino-acid subtitutions but also between L and D- amino acids. Have your lab considered to build a synthetic mirror cell? #NGBS_2025 🔬🦠🪞

It’s the final #MicroscopyMonday of the year—grateful to peer into the unknown, twiddle knobs myself, make discoveries, and call it a job. Here’s to pushing boundaries in 2025! First up a time lapse of the enhancer nucleosome probe I designed. Look at those dynamics 🤩 #cellbio #scicomm #science

I wonder if it is feasible to build mirror viruses given that building mirror nucleic acids and proteins is currently possible and that if it could also pose major risks. Mirror viruses could easily evade the immune system, although they might not be able to use the cellular machinery to replicate.

A new Science and Retraction Watch investigation finds AI-generated commentary articles flood the literature with poor-quality publications and casts doubt on metrics of scholarly output and impact. scim.ag/4gJmD6O

Shoddy commentaries—a quick and dirty route to higher impact numbers—are on the rise

Obsessing over these cozy #parafilm blankets from the Julia Laskin lab @lablaskin.bsky.social ! Definitely on my #Xmas wish list (borrowing their group pic from X)
