When learning a new language I benefit from newspapers and radio stations that offer a โ€œliteโ€ version of the same content as the usual outlets. Is there something similar for scientific articles? Could be useful for undergraduate courses.

In general, academics should allocate a portion of their intelligence and time to understanding how the market works and graduate schools should augment training accordingly. Academia shouldnโ€™t be an academicโ€™s sole source of income. That was the a lesson unemployment taught me.

Third chick in a week. First two were sparrows but this one is a pigeon. They fall to the street and die from the heat. I harvest some developing feathers for โ€œDevelopmental Biology a la Sรธren Kierkegaardโ€ and then lay them to rest.

Can someone help me identify the organelle in the crosshairs that seems to have a donut around it. There are 3 orthogonal to each other highlighting what looks like a ring around a vesicle.
