Plot twist!!!! It's the root veggies that make the strain this color! Color not fully developed yet, and it gets darker as the veggies boil longer, not because of new ingredients, imo. #bluesoup

Success!! Now to inoculate the strain when I get back to lab 😈

Nah

Always a great feeling when the findings from your publications are independently replicated by another group ♥️ As @plantophagy.bsky.social and I learn during our time at @kamounlab.bsky.social lab: "Our goal is to produce science that stands the test of time" See preprint complementing our study👇🏻

@diorkelley.bsky.social wins the Excellence in Education and Mentorship Award!!! 🎉 so richly deserved!!! #PlantBio2026

my mom showed me Aliens when I was 5yo and the women in that movie (especially Sigourney Weaver) imprinted on my tiny brain that women will fuck your shit up and not stop until one of you dies, which is an important lesson for little boys to learn early

The Eye exposed Covid profiteering back in 2021, long before this week’s inquiry findings that nearly £10bn of PPE was written off as wasted, and that a “VIP lane” fast-tracked the politically connected. 🧵1/2

Devs are terrified to post their games because someone will show up and go "looks like a shit game." Years of work killed in 4 words. But you know what helps me? The thing my 4yo son always says when he's upset: ok, I don't care. #indiegame #indiedev #roguelike #indiegames #rpg #dungeoncrawler

Remember Streeting's review into whether young people are being overdiagnosed with ADHD, autism, and mental health issues? Well, the interim report is out, and there's a reason the media are silent on it (spoiler: it proves what a lot of us have been saying all along)

My privilege to share some lovely stories from the science community about what Sam Neill's timeless performance as Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park meant to them—and why it will continue to inspire kids to chase their own discoveries for years to come.

Our single-cell atlas paper made the cover 🎉 image by @lbmountain.bsky.social, showing the mature Brachy epidermis in all its beauty. #GoBrachy: yellow is lignin, and blue is cell wall autofluorescence.

Having ADHD is like using the special power in a video game. You gotta let it build up, then you're ultra powerful for a short time before you have to let it recharge again🫠🔋✨️

Sam Neill insisting on changing the Australian flag in Event Horizon, and the reasoning behind it, speaks to his character so well. For those who don't know, the reason the flag on Weir's costume has the Aboriginal flag, not the Union flag, is because Sam said he hoped by 2047 we'd have changed it.

Sam Neill represented such a solid warm version of masculinity in so many of the roles he played.

Sam Neill on tackling depression and imposter syndrome when you’re between jobs.

oh no. Not Dr Grant. RIP to this legend. Glad he was able to see his cancer treatment work and his high profile case gives hope to others using the sam treatment too. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Russia is inflaming the debate on immigration in Britain as part of “increasing ambitions to disrupt our way of life”, counter-terror police and experts say It has directly and indirectly paid right-wing influencers to spread messages that align with its political goals inews.co.uk/news/putin-i...

Small team. Big dungeon. Countless pixels. We've poured our hearts into making Roguecraft DX the game our Amiga original always wanted to be. The demo is live on Steam and every single wishlist hits like a critical ❤️ #ScreenshotSaturday #pixelart

Trump speaks live from the Make America’s Great American State Fair Great Again Fair! New Private Eye on shelves now.

“It’s just a meteor shower. Stop catastrophising” From the new Private Eye, out now.

WADJET EYE IS 20 YEARS OLD!! Which means it’s time to celebrate with another group photo. It’s frankly ridiculous that the universe has allowed me to continue doing this for so long. I’m grateful for it every day. Thank you all.

Hey plant colleagues out there! 3 days to go to apply for the plant biotechnology professorship. Great colleagues @biologyunifreiburg.bsky.social, amazing atmosphere @dompsfr.bsky.social, lovely city to settle. And great support by @cibss.bsky.social. www.nature.com/naturecareer...

Weird way of framing AC as the sole malefactor, while its carbon footprint is not dictated at the point of use, but by the composition of the energy mix. Blame the grid, not the appliance. There are countries in Europe (Scotland) with almost entirely renewable or low carbon energy mix.

Now, you can find our single-cell transcriptomic dataset of the developing grass leaf in The Plant Cell (academic.oup.com/plcell/artic...). You can also screen for the expression of your genes of interest (shiny.ips.unibe.ch). Congrats to all authors, especially the brilliant @lbmountain.bsky.social

Have a favorite European colleague who should be recognized for their work in non-medical biotechnology? Pls nominate them for the Novo Nordisk Foundation Prize for Biotechnology. (Prior awardees at novonordiskfoundationprize.com/awardees). Thank you! novonordiskfoundationprize.com/nominate-bio...

why are people only ever described as "no-nonsense", what if you're a nonsense person, what then

Heat waves. Thanks to @climateadam.bsky.social's most recent video, which helped inform this comic and gave me the kick I needed to make it.

I'm making things gross and ugly. And why that's entirely Spongebob's fault. #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #rpg

Another of those hidden curriculum of academic science things is “independence,” in terms of “independent research(er)” which is a bit of a misleading descriptor if you ask me - I remember being confused about it when starting out and always feeling uncomfortable with the term. youtu.be/2ldOn1hIm6o

Latest episode of #No_Time_To_Read podcast! I had a fantastic conversation with @penlindsay.bsky.social Penelope about her recently published paper @newphyt.bsky.social (also made it to the cover). Podcast: open.spotify.com/episode/34XW... Article: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

I had a blast talking to @aribidopsis.bsky.social about my recent @newphyt.bsky.social paper! If you're eating corn this fourth of July weekend and having deep thoughts about how it grows, give our discussion a listen!

RNA can build. A short RNA self-assembles into a 60-subunit icosahedral cage like a viral capsid, but made entirely of RNA. The striking preprint also reveals a 57-nt RNA filament at ~2.7 Å. Congratulations, Lin Huang and colleagues! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

"Word is built for high schoolers to write book reports." 😂 Couldn't agree more. What's particularly shocking is Word has not made meaningful progress in the last 20 years. Most of the things that didn't work well back then still don't work.

We made a short (3.5min) film introducing our @sprockethub.bsky.social innovation hub for improving the lives of children with complex health needs and those that care for them. Do have a watch! I think it really captures what SPROCKET is about. youtu.be/WIjhjciUfD4?...
