Some dudes getting their drinks at Dunkin

Dude 1: *loudly and clearly mocking* wow that pink drink you ordered looks yummy!

Dude 2: hey, I ain’t afraid of no pink drink!

Way to go dude 2 lol

That's a wrap on Field Trips! We had such a great time showing you around. ⁠

The final stop on our Field Trips Tour is Dr. Beth Stevens’s lab at Boston Children’s Hospital.

Fun fact: the Stevens Lab is bigger than some entire university departments, and is spread across Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard, and MIT!

Jaida and Dr. Stevens pose for a photo in the lab!

Dr. Stevens captivates the lab while talking about glia.

A member of Stevens's team is showing off some research images to our team.

A member of the lab preps a sample in a dish in the lab.

With a lab so big, Dr. Stevens’s team must be working on something huge!

That’s why we’re bringing you to the Stevens Lab to check it out!

Jaida Elcock and Dr. Feng Zheng pose for a photo during their interview.

Jaida Elcock dressed in lab gear giving an expression that says "can you believe this is happening?"

Dr. Zheng and Jaida engrossed in conversation about the specifics of the lab work.

Dr. Zheng showing off how some of the lab equipment works.

First stop on our Field Trip tour is Dr. Feng Zhang's lab at the Broad Institute.

You may already be familiar with Dr. Zhang’s work if you’ve ever heard of CRISPR… but how do you follow up a hit like that?

That’s a story big enough to tell in person.

Jaida and Dr. Hannah Yevick during their sit-down interview.

Join us at Brandeis University to visit Dr. Hannah Yevick’s Lab, where the focus is on billions of individual cells that fused together to become one super cell spanning 13 square meters!

That’s the kind of thing you want to see for yourself.

When Hannah Yevick learned that the placenta contained a cell whose surface spanned 13 square meters, the biophysicist was fascinated. For this episode of @scishow.bsky.social Field Trips, we traveled to Yevick's lab to learn about the largest cell in the human body.

Come see me tap about my research CV with my advisor at this virtual live even on January 28th!

Did you know the largest fish in the ocean eat the smallest things?

Join us for more insights into ocean predators at #OceanEncounters on Jan. 28 with WHOI biologists Camrin Braun & @sofishtication.bsky.social

There’s a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses for murdering Renee Good.

This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it.

A thread on how to do that 🧵

Choose your shark 🦈

lol it sure is!!

Dear people who design bathroom stalls,

1- please design the stalls with the doors swinging OUT rather than in

2- if you’re going to swing the doors in, the stall should at least be big enough for me ti enter the stall and close the door without my legs touching the toilet. That’s nasty.

Thanks.

Nephew LOVES doing scicomm videos with me! Merry Christmas Eve, friends!

What do you think hurts more, a shock from these guys or a shock from a Costco shopping cart??

These guys would be perfect as the star on top of your Christmas tree! Assuming your house was lit by black lights lol. Happy day 52 of fishmas everyone!

Cute and talented? What more could you ask for from a fish?🫶🏽 happy fishmas day 51, y’all!

Y’all are getting a late post today bc it’s been a busy day😂😂

Fishmas ft. Nephew! Only 5 days left of Fishmas!

FINALLY time to discuss my favorite!! Thresh to impresh, am I right??

At least this sticky fish doesn’t have a weird looking suction cup that makes me uncomfy lol. Can you think of any other sticky fish?

The way hate ages people is so evident

“Impeach RFK” projected on a building in dc with the Capitol in the background.

One thing about @standupforscience.bsky.social: we are *going* to get our message across.

Just read this on Insta and am gobsmacked at how the AI propagandists are telling us TO OUR FACE that they want to:

1) replace all artists and thinkers
2) read our every emotion
3) influence our every move

And us being pissed is just “the first stage of grief”

KEEP UP THE PUSH BACK FOLKS!

Washington’s refusal to regulate AI is a corruption story. Just ask Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson.

Hagfish (and other jawless fishes) are fascinating to me! A little freaky, but in an “I need to know more” way!

My friend named her dog after these fish!

Who named this precious little goober of a fish? I just wanna talk! Be nice to him😭

I think pops is enjoying the fishmas season as well😅
