Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice Singing through the bloody mist We’ll take our stand for this land And the stranger in our midst Directed by Thom Zimny Edited by Thom Zimny and Samuel Shapiro Production Footage: Pam Springsteen and Thom Zimny

Here's another deep field image from JWST. There's something pretty amazing hidden within it, which I'll talk about next. But open up this image and lose yourself in this almost impossibly vast view of our Universe. The six-pointed features are stars in the Milky Way. Everything else is a galaxy.

Archaea may not be well known, nor well studied, but these microorganisms can live in the most extreme environments, but also right on our skin. They’re everywhere. EMBL researchers are now exploring their unique ecosystem adaptability and link to evolution. www.embl.org/news/science...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

And now out in Nature Comms (congrats Wyatt et al.): www.nature.com/articles/s41....

Andreas #Boland's group and collaborators diagnosed a rare genetic disease (ATTR) using a simple skin biopsy. This work paves the way for new diagnostic methods for degenerative diseases. @mocel.bsky.social @sciencesunige.bsky.social @natcomms.nature.com www.unige.ch/medias/en/20...

Reminder with <2 weeks to deadline:

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

SWEDEN HAS DOUBLED THE FUNDS SINCE THURSDAY!! LET US MAKE ANOTHER DOUBLE UNTIL TUESDAY!! SHARE, RETWEET, DONATE, SPREAD!!

NEW: ICE just executed another person in Minneapolis.

My bestseller Starry Sky (Stjärnklart) is now available as an e-book in English. The books have sold over 300 000 copies in Sweden alone and this is the best selling Swedish science fiction novel in modern times. http://dlvr.it/TQWHYr

My colleagues have put together a nice book chapter on amyloid polymorphism. Have a look! 🧪🧬🧶 #amyloids #cryoem @landaulabcssb.bsky.social @meytallandau.bsky.social @cssbhamburg.bsky.social @stratifa.bsky.social

LLOMe has long been used to study lysosomal damage, yet how it works has remained a mystery. Using cryo-electron tomography, we show it forms amyloid structures inside lysosomes that mechanically rupture membranes – revealing a new paradigm for lysosomal failure. 🔗 doi.org/10.64898/202... #CryoET

We wanted to build the ASU of an adenovirus using ModelAngelo, but accidentally used the full capsid map. It is ~95 nm in diameter and ~80 MDa. ModelAngelo built it! Biggest PDF file ever? :) Cool software, thanks @kjamali.bsky.social and @sjorsscheres.bsky.social!

"I think that meeting went well."

Bumping this into the Bluesky science feed, because I always forget to add the 🧪. However, I know there are plenty of Women in STEM there who might want to share their questions!

1/ När man passerat sista CP och börjar komma in i N stadsdelarna av Druzhkivka så hör man direkt skottlossningen när soldater försöker skjuta ner FPV-drönare i olika delar av staden. Avlägsna explosioner hörs någon gång per minut. Ingående och utgående artilleri, KAB bomber och Shahed drönare.

I'd wager this is the angriest statement ever issued by the Nobel Peace Prize people...

Honestly all Denmark needs to do is to withdraw all Ozempic exports to the US and Americans will finally revolt

Americans, you own this mess. Fix it!

Så, alla stora välgörenhetsorganisationer. Kan inte ni visa vad ni går för, nu när det är akut i UA? Kan ni byta era annonser från att be om stöd till att visa hur ni använder miljonerna för att förhindra frysskador i UA? Nä, jag insisterar.

The US is threatening the Danes with annexing Greenland, but it is the US itself that has cut its security force on Greenland from 10,000 soldiers down to 150 soldiers! Everything Trump and MAGA say is a lie (as usual) The US already has a very special deal for Greenland. Why isn't that enough?

This one was quite the journey! The paper describing the #ChlamyDataset is finally out and on the cover of Mol Cell! This beautiful rendering made by co-author @jessheebner.bsky.social and Holly Peterson shows an instance of mitochondrial fission found in the dataset 😍 [Maybe long thread ahead]

Fun in the snow!

The leaders of all Nordic countries - Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland - express their strong support for Denmark and Greenland. What a time to live in, where this needs to be said.

Wonder how many hours it’ll take European leaders to agree a mildly-worded statement of light rebuke.

Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.

Exakt. USA visar nu att de likt Ryssland inte respekterar internationell lag och rätt, utan tar sig rätten att anfalla vem som helst, när som helst och utan legitim anledning.

BREAKING! USA har kidnappat Venezuelas president Maduro och hans fru och fört ut ur landet uppger Trump.

Trump is misunderstood. He didn't say he´s a man of peace. He said man of piece. A little piece of Ukraine, a little piece of Panama, a little piece of Denmark, a little piece of Venezuela.

Trump no. 5 "A little piece of panama in my life A little bit of Denmark by my side A little bit of Ukraine all I need A little bit of Syria what I see A little bit of venezuela in the sun"

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

Hey @jd-vance-1.bsky.social, can you please tell us more about how free speech is threatened in Europe?

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

“Trump-class battleships?” 🤣🤣 Trump’s narcissism reaches new heights of comedy.

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here. www.justice.gov/multimedia/C...
