Why can our farts ignite? Time to find out (and quite a bit more) in our new paper in Nature Microbiology led by the amazing Dr Cait Welsh. Integrating atomic-to-ecosystem level insights. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Worüber ihr kein Wort von Merz, Spahn, Söder hören werdet: Ein Gutachten zum Weihnachtsmarkt-Anschlag in Magdeburg stuft diesen als rechtsextrem motiviert ein. Der Täter plante ihn jahrelang, kündigte ihn an und verortete sich selbst in einem rechtsextremen Netzwerk. #Stadtbild

Das crazy! Die Bundesregierung will Geld sparen – setzt aber den komplett falschen Fokus. Das belegen die Zahlen eindeutig. Für uns ist glasklar, wo wir den Schwerpunkt setzen müssen! Was denkt ihr? #bürgergeld #sozialleistungen #gerechtigkeit

see you in #Cologne: Sunday, 27th I present our study on #VisualAids in oncology patient communication – and how we continue! (and I will sneak away to learn about #RomanHistory, #Agrippina and see the #Dionysus mosaic!) #DGHO #dhgo2025 #oncology #hematology

Do you enjoy playing chartle.cc? We’re opening up to the community! Are you a scientist, journalist, researcher or just a data-enthusiast and would like to submit your own data (it should be a country-based time series)? Get in touch with us - we’d love to feature it!

Hi - I draw along talks for a hobby - making #sketchnotes, mainly #science, sometimes #politics that I publish on my blog: bio-mat-sketches-mor.blogspot.com

New to me, biking up mountains. Did lots of hikes, today 1000m up up up riding!! 💪🚲 Best company @jamessaenz.bsky.social #grisons

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

countdown.... join us today!

Continuing my irregular contributions to "very unfortunate #GraphicalAbtract ": an oligomer with lots of fans in 1933 Germany... 🤨

100% - the cost of staying silent is higher in the long run.

Fred Ramsdell was parked at a campground in Montana on Monday when his wife suddenly started shouting. He first thought that maybe she had seen a grizzly bear. Instead, she had regained cell service and had seen a flood of text messages with the same news. “You just won the Nobel Prize!” she yelled.

It was a real pleasure to speak with @numpy.bsky.social creator Travis Oliphant about NumPy, SciPy, and #Python: the Documentary! New @nature.com 🧪🐍 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

🌶️ Lipids bring the heat 🔥 Lipids don’t just shape membranes, they influence cellular metabolism. We show that tuning lipidome composition strongly alters metabolic heat flow in the minimal cell JCVI-Syn3B 🦠 Fantastic collaboration with Karim Fahmy’s lab (HZDR) 🎉 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

👏 another lipid researcher to conquer the world!

I aim for ♀️♂️ parity in my timeline: I follow back men and women alternatingly. If I don’t follow you back right away, it’s only because I haven’t yet found enough women to balance things out. There are so many more men here than women (science/tech bubble..)

... and at other times the log-scale really brings home just HOW MUCH progress we made! 💚

Skipping a log-scale sometimes impressively makes the point...

Jedes Wort ein Volltreffer. Jeder Gedanke präziser als die hunderttausenden Zeitungsartikel über die typischen deutsche „politischen“ Standarddebatten. Ein Debakel, dass nur noch die Kunst klare Gedanken hinbekommt – und nicht mehr die „politischen“ Beobachter.

Are you working with OME-Zarrs in Switzerland? We're running a series of community events in the context of the BioFAIR project of the BioVisionCenter: Monthly Open Bioimaging Practices Meetups with presentations by us & community members. Starting off with 3 cool events this fall (see image) (1/6)

"In zwei Bänden verdichtet Sudrow die weltanschaulichen Ambivalenzen und persönlichen Kontakte von Anhängern der Lehren von Rudolf Steiner zum NS-Herrschaftsapparat. Vor der Untersuchung für die KZ-Gedenkstätte Dachau hatte die Historikerin ein „positives Bild“ vom biologisch- 1/3

This is absolutely a must read. We are in deep trouble and I am even less optimistic than the authors.

What a week: invited talk at @embl.org course and workshop for #SwissInstituteBioinformatics, to poster presentation once again myself, waiting (a little anxiously) for someone to come take a look. In science we constantly circle between being an expert and learner, keeps us humble!

Kommt vorbei…

I feel ya! (not using matplotlib, but same elsewhere...)

@nigelblue.bsky.social is on blsky! Everyone, follow & expect some light and fun data viz, badly needed these days... 😀 #MonstrousCosts is an all time favorite in teaching!

Wir können uns diesen Sozialstaat nicht mehr leisten, behauptet Friedrich Merz. Ich bin ja eher der Meinung, wir können uns keinen Bundeskanzler leisten, der die Bevölkerung fortwährend belügt.

Ahhh... what a great #GraphicalAbstract - supposedly about aging. But possibly about more... 😂 #SciComm #ScienceVisualization

The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) published data for June this morning, so a bunch of European countries are now updated on my data page:

This week, we are highlighting Helena Jambor, a prolific contributor to our community sites @the-node.bsky.social and @focalplane.bsky.social, as an extraordinary biologist. #100biologists @helenajambor.bsky.social

👇 Those two are the same graph 👇 ...but the 2nd one focuses on the message & follows @helenajambor.bsky.social's checklist for visualizing scientific data (1/2)

Congratulations to Dr. @akanksha-jain.bsky.social, Gilles Gut, and the Treutlein Lab and @graycamplab.bsky.social on their work live imaging brain #organoid growth! @nature.com article: go.nature.com/4la2yZh Episode with discussion: bit.ly/4nzLrCp

We can all do something. As scientist we are trained to MONITOR, we can EXPOSE, and we can EDUCATE, the public and next generation. And this data is ammunition for lawyers etc #FightFacism

I use #ggplot #gganimate #Rstats to visualize spatiotemporal trends in public ICE detention data. Watch ICE detention increase over time: more detainees (bigger dots), more non-criminals (blue → red), and more jails far from the border in 2025. Code #gist: gist.github.com/JEFworks/899... #DataViz
