I love the idea of "micropublications" micropublication.org (preparing one now)

Cells are so tiny that measuring their weight seems, at first blush, like an impossible task. But back in 1953, two biologists from Southern Illinois University — supported, in part, with funding from Anheuser-Busch! — invented a super clever method for figuring out the weight

My hot take is that I’m with good ol’ TH Morgan on this, biology is fundamentally simple. Over complicated explanations are just a sign of our ignorance.

Agriculture is the lifeblood of humanity and few things are more important. A bioeconomy without heavy investment in agriculture is doomed to fail. Food comes from starlight, not supermarket.

🚀 We’ve launched the Night Science Institute! Our mission: to champion a cultural shift in science toward embracing the creative scientific process –  as a vital complement to rigorous hypothesis testing. Watch the launch video with Itai Yanai: drive.google.com/file/d/1qpuxad…

Behold the cursed noodles. Researchers mixed together chicken muscle cells and microalgal cells, and then extruded them with a 3D printer, to make a "plant and animal cell-based hybrid noodle." The reason for doing this, they say, is to tune textures, nutrition levels, etc.

If you are an highschool student and you are conducting research in a lab, you are a scientist. If you are an undergraduate student and you are conducting research in a lab, you are a scientist.

Another wonderful week to learn about biology. Here are 20 wonderful things that were published in the last 7 days: 1. A healthy baby born from an embryo that was frozen in 1994. 2. Scientists automated gene-editing experiments using AI agents, called CRISPR-GPT. 3.

I never knew that there was a lot to Mendel's life than just Pea plants and laws of inheritance. A thought-provoking piece of writing by Asimov Press Niko McCarty. to bring other facets of Mendel's life into light.

I’ve always been interested in the stories behind BioNumbers. Textbooks say DNA polymerase, for example, replicates 220 nucleotides per second. But how do we know this? How can one actually measure the speed of a single enzyme? A fast typist, for comparison, types ~80 words per

Hahahaha spot on !

Mechanotransduction in the nucleus Multiple TFs transmit mechanical forces into transcriptional regulation. Nuclear shape, size, and chromatin abnormalities are common features of many diseases.

About a year ago, we published a first-hand account describing how the first transgenic ants were made. It took a PhD student seven years of painstaking work to make those ants. The transgenic ants express GCaMP within their neurons, enabling scientists to directly visualize and
