Our new science exhibition “The Invention of Time” has just opened in Barcelona. Come explore time in physics, brains & life, from Evolution 2 relativity. We even have a working Time Machine (that’s me using it) @ibe-barcelona.bsky.social @icreacommunity.bsky.social museuciencies.cat/en/exposicio...

I've just come back from visiting it. A fabulous exhibition in a fantastic space that has been restored for the city of Barcelona. Congratulations to the organisers. Brilliant. Highly recommended.

A graphic explaining how mRNA vaccines work, which was showed to study participants.

Teaching people how mRNA vaccines actually work protects against misconceptions about mRNA vaccination changing the recipient's DNA, without the need to repeat the false claims, according to experiments with over 3,500 participants. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/sVwH50Xzutc

El 20% de los españoles ha recurrido alguna vez a las pseudoterapias Rosa Arroyo, vicepresidenta de la Organización Médica Colegial, alerta sobre la proliferación de prácticas sin evidencia científica y pide más educación en pensamiento crítico

Las pseudoterapias solo benefician al charlatán. 😰😰“Cada vez más personas recurren a las llamadas pseudoterapias. Según datos del Colegio de Médicos de Huelva, uno de cada cinco españoles ha probado alguna vez este tipo de prácticas, y un 5% ha abandonado su tratamiento médico por confiar en ellas.”

Nice and interesting case, Kevin. Thank you.

It looks like an oncocytoma

Multiple nodules (slightly polypoid) protruding from nasal mucosa of a dog. The nodules are only slightly darker pink than the more normal mucosa.

Large, perhaps 200-micrometer-diameter, spherical organisns with a trilaminar wall and multiple smaller structures inside. It lies in the submucosa of the nose and is surrounded by macrophages, lymphocytes and plasma cells.

Spherical organisms of variable diameter but typically very large, with a thick capsule and grainy contents. These structures have thick walls, but only the largest has a trilaminar wall. The organisms are in the submucosa of the nose and are surrounded by macrophages, lymphocytes and plasma cells. Some macrophages contain hemosiderin.

Large spherical organisms of variable diameter with a thick capsule and granular contents. Some have a nucleus visible in the center. The largest is partially collapsed and has a trilaminar wall. The walls of smaller (developing) organisms only have one layer.

Here is a bipartisan #pathology case. It's relevent to DVMs and MDs. Lots of red (at least pink) and blue, too.

Rhinoscopy and nasal biopsy from a dog. What’s your diagnosis? It's a classic.

¿Sabíais que la ciencia ha investigado qué estrategias de estudio son más efectivas? La forma cómo aprende nuestro cerebro determina qué acciones y circunstancias promueven que recordemos mejor lo que aprendemos. Aquí os hablaré de una de estas estrategias.

Nice review.

Needle biopsy sample of a kidney. The top portion of the sample is cortex containing glomeruli, the bottom with parallel lines is all medulla.

We always evaluate our kidney biopsy samples before submitting them. Often hard to get 100% cortex in our small patients. Here’s a great image showing both cortex (top) and medulla (lower portion) from a recent sample. US guided 18g needle biopsy in a 2.5kg cat with a UPC of 10. #vetneph
