Not as pretty, but now completely sourced from Amazon or Walmart, except for the syringe pump... Just a few cents per device. Leak testing with mineral oil, so I'm very pleased this didn't devolve into a messπŸ˜‹

Interesting take from James Holehouse @sfiscience.bsky.social on how deterministic definitions of behavioral modes may be misleading in biological systems with significant noise. #ComplexSystems #Biochemistry

Self-organization of spermatogenic wave coordinates sustained sperm production in the mouse testis Spermatogenesis takes place in the testis, relying on the ordered turnover of differentiating cells supplied from stem cells. Classic histological analyses have revealed that this process shows hierar...

Human Sperm Differential Interference Contrast (DIC)
YouTube video by ECU CAS LAB Human Sperm Differential Interference Contrast (DIC)

To fertilize, sperm must locate and recognize an egg. How? The structure of each sperm cell encodes a latent representation of this task. We use fertilization as a simple model process to study the nature of latent encoding. #ComplexSystems #ReproRocks
