WAR CRIMES DON’T HIDE SEX CRIMES

Pls re-post: My department @oxfordbiochemistry.bsky.social are recruiting for several new faculty positions (links below). Broad search in molecular biology/biochemistry, across prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Interested in understanding life at the molecular level, this job might be for you!

One bright note? Americans trust federal career scientists more than political leaders running US heath agencies.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

A more complete set of voices in a companion piece.

Finally out in @natmicrobiol.nature.com: Prediction of eukaryotic cellular complexity in Asgard archaea using structural modelling. Great work by @stephkoe.bsky.social @kassipan.bsky.social @jvhooff.bsky.social

Finally got the SIM perfectly calibrated on all four channels 🌈 (movie shows a 15x15 μm area inside a cell) #realtimemicroscopy

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.

You are finishing your PhD and looking to continue in science?

The Martin lab @biology-unige.bsky.social has an open postdoctoral position in cell biology to study cell-cell fusion. For more information, please consult mocel.unige.ch/research-gro....

Thanks for reposting!

This is beyond terrifying... you want the government to know your location, web browsing history, spending habits, etc?

New single-pill HIV therapy promises boost for long-term virus survivors Solo tablet worked well for patients who were older and in many cases resistant to existing treatments

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 :
