Yeah we’re never winning shit

Ball don't lie

Yelled louder for that cape verde goal than I have for any USA goals so far, let's go sharks

i did a triple take at this line. the university of michigan apparently jeopardized a grad student's status and got him detained by ICE for almost a month on this basis, which i can only convey to non-academic folks as "absolute horse shit"

denying a visa to the man who imitates a statue of a man we assassinated

fluorescence fun with photoconversion new-ish adult zebrafish trunk skin immune cells in cyan, older photoconverted ones in magenta (and cyan, too, if you look closely)

Don't use slop. Someone's trying to make money out of you and your colleagues and your friends. Do yourself a favor and read 100% human-crated content in @prelights.bsky.social Upload preprints. Read preprints. Cite preprints. Fuck AI 🧪

I love this. Unmute.

We are thrilled to announce our new preprint from the wonderful @sorayavillaseca.bsky.social Ever wondered how cells squeeze through tiny spaces in embryos? Neural crest cells use Dynein to transport their nucleus along microtubules. Check out the preprint!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Happy #fluorescencefriday (and start of vacation!) to all those who are celebrating Lifeact-labeled epidermal stem cells closing a wound after in vivo adult zebrafish skin injury

Few people ever find a niche passion that intersects with a niche talent and at an age when they’re unapologetic about both. Before the world says “you should be embarrassed.” He’s gonna end up being a world renowned ornithological researcher or educator.

Not all Denocrats are the same. Governor Sherrill‘s troopers dispersed protesters with riot gear and tear gas. Call her at 609-292-6000. I’ll stand up for neighbors and human rights, and work to abolish and replace ICE. Vote in the NJ-12 primary, Tuesday June 2. SamForNJ.org

My hottest parenting take is that Raffi is not only the great to ever do it, but he’ll probably never be bested. Michael Phelps-ass children’s songwriter.

I GET LOGGED OUT. BUT I LOG IN AGAIN

wow — the preprint host, arxiv, is banning authors for a year if they submit papers with hallucinated citations 🤖

My paper is finally out in @natcomms.nature.com ! 🐟🐭🧠 Thankful to the contributors and @annamolofskylab.bsky.social for the support! How does the developing brain clear millions of dying neurons? Read below, if interested. #zebrafish #neuroscience #microglia #devbio @zebrafishrock.bsky.social 1/5

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

Exactly two years ago we wrote a review on wound healing, but at the time it was posted in the site that shall not be named, so check out here if your favourite cell was featured, and leave a complaint here if I missed it 😅 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Let me post a spicy take here: most people don't read or cite other model organisms' work. Because of this, they keep rediscovering things and, most importantly, re-writing the timeline in favor of fewer and fewer models. That, plus an artificial limit of citations per paper equals this 🧪

yall know i would almost never inflict a 2:30 video on you but i was on my feet whooping and cheering ten seconds in

TGIF. Here's a video of TORWAI, a couple guys from Thailand who play 2000s hard rock/metal/numetal/etc. while cooking. Here's their cover of System of a Down's "Chop Suey" youtu.be/Ru4aqzjvplw?...

Time to dust off a classic

$1.65M per day in DC alone. That’s approximately two NIH R01 Grant *years* burned per day. Ninety *five year* R01s projects burned in the last seven months with no end in sight. Instead of lasting scientific advance we get….what? Civil rights violations and authoritarian replacement of democracy.

It's true

honestly surprised it took this long for this type of Dem to get no peace at public events

NEW: State lawmakers want to massively expand program to subsidize college tuition for Washington's working families by making big tech pay. But yesterday the State's largest universities testified AGAINST the bill. Here's why: www.theburnerseattle.com/post/why-uw-...

reading a review that cites a review: okay, maybe that citation will include some primary sources reading the second review that cites more reviews: okay maybe THOSE citations will include some primary literature. reading the next set of reviews that cite EVEN MORE reviews: i give up
