I don't know how I haven't heard of "kleptosomes" before but now I have a cool new topic to teach about in intro cell bio class and props to whoever came up with the name. Kleptoplasty: Solar-powered sea slugs house stolen stolen plastids in kleptosomes sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Hello, I am a scientist in a film. All my liquids are brightly coloured. The time it takes to perform tests and experiments is dependent on plot requirements, not biology or chemistry. Also, my safety glasses are extremely stylish.

I have to admit: I get a little concerned when I look at a paper in the scientific literature and the corresponding author's email address is "@hotmail.com"

NSF announced that they will not be accepting new Major Research Instrumentation grants for FY2026. Another step backwards for US academic scientific research. It is like we are trying to fall behind the rest of the world. www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...

Always the most bittersweet day of the year. I love celebrating students at graduation but I also hate the fact that they are leaving. This group of research students did amazing work both in and out of the lab. I can't wait to see what their futures bring! Congratulations Class of 2025!

Is it me or are tariffs on Canada and Mexico the antithesis of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) which was negotiated by a previous Republican administration (under George HW Bush)? Asking for a friend.

Nobody wanted to talk today in class so I decided it was a good day to start handing out stickers. Not only did people start talking but students that hadn’t talked all term started answering questions. Evidently college students, like elementary school kids, respond to stickers.

I really love how colleges are renaming DEI offices to things like "Student Engagement and Retention" or "Outreach and Support". I know it doesn't go towards hiring policies but it keeps spaces for students to feel support and belonging while having the bonus of being kind of subversive.

The 'Roman salute' is so explicitly fascist that in Italy it is prohibited by law (under 'apology of fascism') and you can be prosecuted over it

I'm going to post this prediction here so I can come back later and everyone can tell me how wrong I was: On January 21, 2027, JD Vance and the Cabinet (which is a terrible name for a band, BTW) will invoke the 25th Amendment removing Trump from office.

Just saw a series of posts about COVID vaccines and how DNA resonates when stimulated at the same frequency as 5G and somehow that was to blame for the toxicity of the vaccine & was like 🤯. Then I realized I was on that other site and immediately ran back to the sanity of @bsky.app

The only thing that makes sense is that Nick Foles came to practice this week and pumped up Tanner McKee and Kenny Pickett. Whatever it is, I’ll take the results. #FlyEaglesFly

I'm still a little incredulous that insurance cos haven't started capping time on GLP-1 analogs & then denying coverage while still covering weight loss surgery #WLS. Wegovy ~$16K per year potentially indefinitely; gastric bypass #RNY $15K-$36K one time.

The @eagles just picked up their 10th straight win. The @Giants just picked up their 9th straight loss. While the #flyeaglesfly keep flying high, the only thing flying at MetLife stadium is banners expressing the fans’ anger.

Overheard at my house this morning (note- probably stolen from somewhere but I thought it was funny): Die Hard isn’t just a Christmas movie- A man goes to his estranged wife’s hometown to try to win her back. It’s a Hallmark movie.

Students, please, I am begging you: take advantage of office hours next semester. Go see your professors. They are just sitting there waiting for you and your classmates to stop by. They want to help you. You are not bothering them. Office hours is part of the class. Use this resource.
