4 12x18 inch posters on a brick and concrete wall. The top left is pink and says funding science saves lives, written in microbes, next to a microscope. The one on the right says Biology is bigger than binaries, with a fish, a lily, and a bee. The bottom left says Protecting wildlife starts wtih you, with a bunch of adiorable woodland creatues in yellow, white and black, including an owl, fungi, a... um. weasel? salamanders, butterflies, slugs, and a rotting log. The bottom right says Will our oceans thrive or nosedive the choice is yours, with the ocean represented in a circle, half of which is dead and half of which is alive, including kelp and a mackerel
We've got 35 sets of these posters left.
This project came from my evergreen frustration with our important messages getting trapped on social media algorithms.
Good stuff for posting on your local community bulletin board, classroom, office door, etc!

We (led by UG Joanna Lepper and with @hbrappap.bsky.social) quantified all mentions of protist species in the scientific literature 🧵

Our study tracking the route actin monomers take from the cytoplasm into branched actin networks is now up on biorxiv! In it we learned that most actin is delivered into branched actin networks from polymerases on a membrane surface, not directly from the cytoplasm.

The way in which people’s lives are put up for a vote at the whims of other people… No one should ever be subjected to that.
