Scientists Create Glowing ‘RNA Lanterns’ With Bioluminescence Researchers tagged mouse RNA with the enzyme that makes fireflies glow, in hopes of better understanding how viruses and memories work.

Check out this @scifri.bsky.social segment on my former postdoc advisor’s latest cool project, RNA Lanterns. Andrej Lupták, Jen Prescher & their students @ucirvine.bsky.social have combined #bioluminescence, #RNA & imaging to visualize these molecules in cells. www.sciencefriday.com/segments/glo...

I went down the rabbit hole on the artist’s website after seeing this print. Very tempted by his art book, Forgotten Gods - The Art of Yoann Lossel. So beautiful!

Paradise Bar and Brownie with jumbo cup from Little Italia.

Little Italy San Diego street-spanning sign with mosaic tile support and festive orange sidewalk cafe umbrella.

Bluffs above sandy beach and Pacific Ocean surf with cirrus cloud and blue skies.

Walked on the beach at #TorreyPines and then had a delicious oat milk latte in #LittleItalySD. 🇮🇹 Happiness is calling! 😊❤️☀️

I have oak trees in my yard, and by association, gall wasps and red pyramid-type structures on the oak leaves. I had no idea until this episode of the JGI (@jgi.doe.gov) Genome Insider that the wasps get the trees to make these pods for them. Mind blown! 🤯

How AI Revolutionized Protein Science, but Didn’t End It | Quanta Magazine Three years ago, Google’s AlphaFold pulled off the biggest artificial intelligence breakthrough in science to date, accelerating molecular research and kindling deep questions about why we do science.

"AlphaFold changed everything and nothing," said the Paul Adams, Biosciences' Associate Lab Director and a structural biologist who develops algorithms to model the structures of biomolecules at @berkeleylab.bsky.social.

If you don't know about @jgi.doe.gov, it is a DOE Office of Science User Facility dedicated to using genomics and other tools to support the global research community in studies of complex #biological and #environmental systems. That's a lot of bases covered! 😂
