The Most Beautiful Experiment Hear from Meselson & Stahl about their seminal DNA replication experiment and their enduring friendship in this inspiring short film.

We’re deeply saddened to learn Frank Stahl has passed.

With Matt Meselson, he helped prove how DNA replicates—what many call “the most beautiful experiment” in biology.

We had the honor of capturing their story in this film: bit.ly/meselsonstah...

RIP Frank. Thank you for your service to science.

My dept was lucky enough to screen the new @scicommlab.bsky.social film Observer this week (feat. @afroherper.bsky.social) and hear from ED Sarah Goodwin.

A beautiful celebration of the ways in which people everywhere explore the world around them

AP Bio students determined why okapi at the local zoo are not breeding by analyzing their urine cortisol levels, examining their zoo enclosure, modeling the HPA-axis, & redesigned their zoo enclosure to reduce their stress & encourage breeding. Based on @BeccaCalisi research & a @scicommlab film.

AP Bio learned about parental care to discover mom & dad pigeons make milk by performing a mock brain biopsy & ELISA test for the presence of prolactin. Then modeled prolactin gene activation & learned of other lactating non-mammals. The 3rd case study I authored for Science Communication Lab! 🙂

Race and gender biases persist in public perceptions of scientists’ credibility - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - Race and gender biases persist in public perceptions of scientists’ credibility

Our new study (collab between @uw-lsc.bsky.social
& @scicommlab.bsky.social) examined public perceptions of scientist' credibility in film and has depressing results - biases persist as Black female scientists are rated less warm and competent, compared to peers. Open access at #ScientificReports
