Sad news: Jane Goodall has died. She did more than any other human for our understanding and appreciation of our closest relatives, the chimpanzees. That chimpanzees are Endangered tells you everything about our species and about what made her so exceptional. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/o...

American "Battle Royale"... It's not Onion, and we're comfortably away from 1. April.

This is an interesting read. I knew about Nagel's work on coffee stains. And when I read this part, "...I mean, would you give tenure to someone who’s studying coffee stains?" it made me sad. There is less and less room for beauty and curiosity in science. www.quantamagazine.org/finding-beau...

I'm a bit surprised by these numbers. There's bigger resistance than I would've guessed: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Another piece of scientific fact put into question by Trump's administration, where refuting the antiquated idea of biological race called "anti-american idealogy". It is interesting how similar patterns emerge with fascism. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

You're my kind of crazy (and old) if you find this coding walkthrough for controlling SID chip in C64 using machine code inside BASIC interpreter where IRQ mapping is used to turn the screen content into a real time music controller, the coolest thing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly5B...

I found this interview with Curtis Yarvin quite helpful in understanding a lot of non-sensical directions the US is headed. I am also genuinely frightened by how hard it has become to state the obvious in the face of the "techno-monarchy" ideas. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/m...

For me, this altercation was the first time a leader of a country acted in front of Trump the way it made sense. Not surprisingly, as is the case with all bullies, it also brought the worst in Trump out. Need more of this. bbc.com/news/videos/...

Hello blue sky! Excited to be a part of the scientific community on this platform.

OMG, great stand up comedy is going on at CPAC. 🤣

Honored to be part of this amazing work, where synaptic vesicle fusion has been studied by a clever combination of optogenetic stimulation and cryoET. I welcomed the opportunity to contribute with mesoscopic simulations involving dynamic membranes. Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to share our new preprint "Dynamic nanoscale architecture of synaptic vesicle fusion in mouse hippocampal neurons" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We combine optogenetic stimulation of neurons with in situ cryo-ET to characterize membrane dynamics during synaptic vesicle fusion ❄️🔬⏱️

Some effective eye bleach for weekend use! 😍

I have a bad fever today, so I hope it was all delirium what I just watched and not a sci-fi apocalyptic scene where democracy is superseded by whatever this is going to be. I've been trying very hard to hear the word "democracy" once.

Hear me out! The way things go, I believe this journal has huge potential.

I made one 🦋

Former US president Jimmy Carter has died, at the age of 100. The Iran hostage crisis was his undoing in 1980, which meant he lost to Reagan for his second term. Some argue that a lot went downhill with US politics and economical imbalance afterwards. bbc.com/news/article...
