(1/5) NMR spectroscopy for mixture analysis – both a blessing and a curse: dissecting cell growth media as an example

We are seeking a 3+ year postdoc in ocean modelling, to work on an exciting project investigating underwater tsunamis in Antarctica. More about the project here: www.polomints.ac.uk Read more about the post here: lnkd.in/eBjndZPv Please share and help connect us with the best candidates!

"Further, we found that individuals with greater exposure to cultures outside Hadzaland were more accepting of unfavorable inequality, suggesting that marketization might promote disadvantageous inequality tolerance." ooooooo!

NEW: The AMA and a leading public health research group focused on vaccines are teaming up to create a parallel system to review vaccine safety and effectiveness. 
The CDC’s vaccine review process has “effectively collapsed” under RFKJr. My story. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

😡 everyone has forgotten, but the push for hydroxychloroquine started with in vitro studies showing inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 replication. later found to be limited to in vitro studies, zero translation potential. this is the same motivated quackery

Have you figured out how / why it happened? Why the man died in the horrific MRI accident on Long Island last July? #MRI #MRIsafety #radiology 1/3

Something compelled me to make this

Colleges need to stop trying to teach students how to use AI. Even in the theoretical use cases, genAI requires the expertise to know the process and outcome WITHOUT IT to be able to use it for shortcuts and then THOROUGHLY vet the product. EXPERTISE. Students don't have that, they're students.

weird how far away earth science accounts are from chemists and how far chemists are from biomedical

🧵 describing this work, pretty cool

Read the beginning of this article and I'm nodding, thinking "Most books for very young kids are extremely boring. Beautifully illustrated and about absolutely nothing." www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

*skips to end* aha, the culprit is APATITE so weird, but reminds me of the ossification of "foam cells" created by dead macrophages clustered on the outsides of soft arterial plaque, becoming calcified plaque.

I have to admit, I thought at first this was a fake post. Esp when it mentioned adamantane, because my brain went "adamantium's a fake metal!" lol It's actually a pretty cool article. No idea what peers think of the technique tho.

As a marine geophysicist, we take our entire lab, where we’re building electronics and writing code, with us, and go camping, on the ocean.

SO COOL!! Sulphur taking the shape of a pinecone!! It replaced the original material. #MineralMonday #GeoscienceBluesky ⚒️🧪

The recurring X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) PhD school trains new or early users to design, plan, prepare, perform and analyze an X-ray absorption spectroscopy experiment at a synchrotron beamline. The most recent school was held at LINXS in early autumn. www.linxs.se/news/2026/2/...

Sheesh. "Were the mountains that formed 1.8 billion years ago similar to modern mountain belts?" Well, now I gotta go read the whole darn thing for the answer. "6 Things Your Geologist Doesn't Want You To Know About Orogeny" vibes

“It’s a funny backwards situation to be in where you’re using even older rocks as your baseline for understanding something that formed 700 million years ago.”

People are asking it for tide times too, to their own detriment www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So, it’s worse out there than my “ask ChatGOT rather than Poison Control” prediction. Got it. Cool.

GOOD NEWS! A UNIVERSAL sarbecovirus vaccine candidate has officially started clinical trials! GBP511 is the FIRST vaccine to reach human testing that is intended to protect against MULTIPLE strains of SARS-CoV-2 as well as other related coronaviruses with the potential to spark dangerous outbreaks.

I'm going to win.

@bedform.org Hey, I have a question about sand. Or maybe silt. Or powder. I have a simple coffee grinder (a knifey propellor blade thing). I know why water sticks to itself, but why does my ground-up coffee stick to itself (and the inside of my grinder)? Maybe half falls out with gravity.

Mostly, as an environmental scientist, Mardi Gras always just makes me feel disgusted about humanity if I am honest. Just millions upon millions of pounds of plastic trash just thrown for the sake of throwing it. It's been really hard to see past that

Friend’s daughter just told me “1 plus 0 equals 10” and her dad who is a programmer just shrugged and said “string concatenation”

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

"Het verlagen van uitkeringen moet een prikkel worden om mensen weer aan het werk te krijgen. "Ik word woedend als ik dat hoor", zegt [patient]. "Werk is voor mij trots, sociale contacten - ik wil heel graag werken. Met een slopende leverziekte en kanker - heb je dan een prikkel nodig?"

Mendelian Randomization is powerful but often debated. We benchmarked it against the "ground truth" of human metabolic pathways to see how often it gets it right. 🧬 Result: MR is robust! It matches known metabolism in 43% of cases and identifies valid drug targets. www.cell.com/ajhg/fulltex...

Hey writers, betcha there IS a market for erotic electrochem fanfics. Someone make it happen (without AI). Oh and add a vampire scientist, because I think it might be required.

In other news (from 2024 but still relevant), Dutch people eat huge amounts of sugar but think they don't. In our fight as parents against the en-snoep-ification of society that insists on feeding our kids yuge amounts of sugar, this is not surprising. nos.nl/artikel/2523...

In South Africa, paleontology has been dominated by white people. Lazarus Kgasi is changing that dynamic — and coloring in the picture of the world our distant ancestors once inhabited. n.pr/49WF6w1

NL wants to add a tax on sugar starting 2030. After decades of pushing low-fat diets, now people can pay more for the foods they were told were "heart-healthy." What the gov't *isn't* doing, however, is making healthy base ingredients like vegetables cheaper.

This is bonkers. MAHA 'farmers' with ecoli tainted raw milk admit they really don't know how to make the stuff after all. "Producing raw milk takes careful planning from a facility and infrastructure standpoint. Unfortunately, we learned this after the fact." people.com/ballerina-fa...
