Same! It never takes a bad picture 🤩

This is so beautiful. I was mesmerized. Science is art too. 🤩

Sometimes we need a reminder… ✨

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! This is a maximum intensity projection of depth shaded actin (🌈) in a section from an E9.5 🐭 neural tube (NT). 🔬 by postdoc @christinaadaly.bsky.social 👩‍🔬 🧪 Image shows the floor plate and lumen of the developing NT.

Begging scientists (and media posts about science) to stop using ChatGPT-generated images

I love it! 🎃

The perfect October #FluorescenceFriday! 🎃 🧪

Little known @stjuderesearch.bsky.social secret: Rubbing the nose on the sculpture of St. Jude founder Danny Thomas brings good luck for your experiments! 🧪 🍀 Postdoc Rojalin Pradhan is giving it a try 😉

...or is it?

To the Full Professors out there who actually lift people up, advocate for those with less power and voice, and who care about colleagues and trainees doing well over arbitrary gatekeeping... I see you and am grateful for you.

John Gurdon was a true giant:
- founder of cell reprogramming;
- founder of molecular embryology;
- unabashed advocate for basic research;
- advisor to numerous successful trainees/PIs;
- gentle human that touched so many.
In dark times with science under attack, let his vision be a guiding light.

Totally - also the way most news outlets grab one short sound bite from his pressers to make him sound semi-coherent is infuriating. If you listen to the entire rambling thought, it's so clear he is completely incoherent.

Very sad news, John Gurdon has died.

A developmental biologist's developmental biologist, Nobel prize winner

His work is the foundation of much of today's dev & stem cell bio.

An inspiration to many, including me. Always asking questions & wanting the answers

He was a champion of developmental biology and a truly inspirational scientist. 🧪

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a new mRNA vaccine that has been shown to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, offering hope to MILLIONS of patients with age-related vision loss. The vaccine triggered strong antibody responses that REDUCED retinal damage by UP TO 85%.

New addition to my thoughts on 🧪 mentoring. Give trainees a seat at the table. Are you going to a conference where you will speak about their work? Encourage them to attend. Are you going to a meeting to discuss their project with a collaborator or editor? Invite them and ask for their input.

Intercellular communication in the brain through a dendritic nanotubular network Intercellular nanotubular networks mediate material exchange, but their existence in neurons remains to be explored in detail. We identified long, thin dendritic filopodia forming direct dendrite–dend...

Hidden networks in the brain Dendritic nanotubes extend brain connectivity beyond synapses

I love these new layers of complexity that people are discovering in the brain! Dendrites of different neurons can connect via nanotubes, which transport calcium and cargo such as amyloid-beta www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

So pretty! 🤩 I loooove a good #MicroscopyMonday submission! 🧪

Do the homework. It’s a bummer maybe at first but then look hey you actually know something and can use it.
