An analysis of U.S. water quality data reveals that most toxic chemicals remain poorly characterized or undetected in routine monitoring. The findings in Science suggest that the true scale of chemical risk to biodiversity and ecosystems may be significantly underestimated. https://scim.ag/4alqHdl

Cellular structure self-organizes through an interplay between internal mechanisms and external cues. The single-celled suctorian P. collini builds a trap structure to capture large prey using microtubule feeding tentacles, creating feedback between cell morphology and prey availability.

Cells rolling in microvessels = like shopping carts with varying wheel grip. Yonggang Li et al. (2025) link molecular bond dynamics to how fast cells “roll” in blood flow. Tiny stickiness = big traffic effects!

Most plastic items are too small for recyclers to bother sorting and processing, or they're assembled in such a way that it's less expensive to just make new plastic. In fact, only 5% of Americans’ plastic finds new life. (Published Aug. 2024) By @lisalsong.bsky.social

The Nobel prizes will be announced starting Monday, and they’re considered the most famous awards in science. In the past few years, though, a number of other prizes have popped up. Nature examines how these prizes compare with one another. 🧪

#CancerGrandChallenges IMAXT in @nature.com: Using CloneSeq-SV, the team tracked ovarian cancer clones and found: • Resistant clones often exist from diagnosis • ctDNA spotted recurrence ~8 months earlier than imaging • Actionable drivers (e.g. ERBB2) can be revealed www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#TunnelingNanotubes are membranous extensions of cells that mediate cell contact-dependent intercellular transport of organelles and viruses.

So you're a scientist about to face a government shutdown? Have you considered becoming a rock star? It's easy AND profitable! 🎸🧪 Let's list off five scientists who turned rockers:

There are strong indications that micro- and nanoplastics exposure negatively impacts human health, but a robust evidence base is lacking. A Review in Nature Medicine focuses on the current state of the science. go.nature.com/47H9Q3s #medsky 🧪

Re-upping this: For those of you having new students in the lab, I have curated a YouTube playlist on molecular biology: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... I usually have my students watch it before I show them how to do it in the lab.

Why is this horrible for Universities? Just about everyone who isn't a citizen or green card holder already who's hired for a tenure track faculty position is hired through an H1B and then, after 3-5 years, applies for a green card. This is literally "No more foreign professors can be hired"

Today 62 National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Designated Cancer Centers released a statement reinforcing the importance of HPV vaccination. HPV vaccination is safe and protects against six types of cancer – including oropharyngeal, cervical, and anal cancers. #HPVvaccine #HPVvax #EndHPVCancers
