KymoSketch started out as a GUI for our kymotracker script, but after I added DeepDiffusion to it I got suggestions to add more features and it’s since become a more fleshed out analysis platform (1/6)

Whenever I see people talking about how they want to see raw data I can't help but think that everyone means something different when they say raw

Mix two motors of opposite polarity with microtubules and they will partition space ! Microtubules will get organized in polar and active barriers, sorting the two motors in separated domains, leading to the emergence of a new type of patterns. #morphogenesis doi.org/10.1073/pnas... (1/n)

There’s more to rainbows than the human eye can see: here’s how a rainbow extends into the infrared and ultraviolet. Photos: 1. Infrared 2. Visible (obviously) 3. Ultraviolet, and 4. A composite showing how UV is beyond the violet in a rainbow, and IR beyond the red end. 🧪 #photography

An infrared photo of a rainbow: a strange, ghostly-looking rainbow in a mostly black and white photo, with a faintly red outer edge and a cyan inner edge, and what look like a few even fainter ‘echo’ bows inside

A regular visible-light pic of a rainbow

An ultraviolet picture of a rainbow: a dark, foreboding landscape with a deep purple stripe emanating from it, and a grey stripe inside

A composite of the three preceding photos, showing that the infrared bow is ‘outside’ the visible light rainbow, and the ultraviolet bow ‘inside’

The starter packs are good but when do we get booster packs

Lots of people following me this morning even though so far I have only posted a picture of my cat, so I am raising the stakes and posting TWO cats

This was very useful although it occasionally finds completely the wrong person.
