The squirrels in Zion are definitely used to people

🚨 #postdoc to be hired in the Paluch Lab 🚨

If you know anyone experienced with and, more importantly, excited about nanoscale architecture of #actincortex and super-res & electron #microscopy do encourage them to apply👇

Amazing colleagues, can only recommend 😉

But Joao, aren’t you afraid of being scooped?

No.

It’s an ultra-rare childhood epilepsy. If you scoop me and the kids get help from it, I will help you scoop me and then move on.

Trying to learn 'slice and view' with resin-embedded samples on the Aquilos FIB-SEM this week.

One of the core messages of the work at Stand Up for Science is we are fighting against science being used as a weapon against civilians.

The US bombed a school that was IN SESSION. What makes you think they won’t turn that tech on us, too.

H. Norman Schwarzkopf Earned a Master’s degree in mechanical/guided-missile engineering from the University of Southern California.

Stockdale has a master's degree in international relations from Stanford.

Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin, biochemist & a trailblazer in crystallography, she established the biomolecular structures of insulin, vitamin B12, & penicillin winning the Nobel in Chemistry in 1964 #WomensHistoryMonth #WomenInStem #WomenInScience

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana

(Also I really want to try a Korean style Po’ Boy)

For the first time in Torrent history, we have a sellout!! 👏

Thank you to the best fans in the league for showing up for us since day one!

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

I’ve had vegetarian/vegan meal boxes include fruit instead of dessert. Healthy yes, but…

Very cool! Many, many years ago I did my undergrad thesis on Paramecium swimming behavior.

Excited to share our new preprint exploring how Paramecium achieves diverse flow functions, i.e. feeding and swimming, simultaneously. This work was spearheaded by our ExM expert, PhD student Daphne Laan @daphnelaan.bsky.social :
