Wonderfully clear thread about some of the things ‘indirect costs’ support

Of all the takes on this story, this is clearly the right one

Excited to share our new study with the Müller and @SchullerJm labs, online @nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04971-z This is T. kivui, an anaerobic bacterium. It uses hydrogen energy to store #CO2. How does it do it? #CryoET revealed membrane-anchored bundles of...

Brings to mind this quote from Stephen J Gould: "I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops."

Happy #microscopymonday! Here is a collaborative project I started in ~2018, looking at different cells stained for actin and DNA and all set to the same scale. More info (and poster printouts!) here: katrinavelle.wixsite.com/science/prin...

Q: What's wrong with these plots? A: Pooling cell-level measurements across multiple runs conceals experimental reproducibility. Read more in JCB (with @fritzlaylin.bsky.social @katrinavelle.bsky.social & Dyche Mullins): rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Every time I see this movie it looks like embroidery to me. And now that might be a thing I have to figure out how to make. But maybe someone has already done this? Other scientists who stitch on here?

I swear I didn’t put J up to this. But y’all. What if I’m raising a chemist?! 🙈 #physicistMom

Probably my favorite movie I’ve seen this year, thanks Needhi for verbalizing what I found so moving about it

I did my first protein prep (myosin VI!) using tap water. Yeah, I was ‘that physicist.’

Couldn't find one so made a quick physics of life list, enjoy! go.bsky.app/EA2VsDN

🧪 Punchline of our most recent preprint about how a giant single cell changes shape super fast, check the thread for more info!

Wow this is good. Will be sharing widely.

Very excited to share a thread about our new preprint! It's a highly collaborative project, w key contributions from @josephlannan.bsky.social (in my lab) @bhamlalab.bsky.social (+ GS Luke Xu), Dinner Lab (+ PD Cal Floyd), Jerry Honts, Marshall lab (+ GS Connie Yan), and Suri Vaikuntanathan 1/13

Alrighty, events of the last week or so have pushed me over the edge to finally figure out how this thing works.
