For World AIDS Day 2025: the stigma of HIV & AIDS was so strong that many avoided talking about their diagnosis until their final days. In other cases, the families kept the secret for decades after. Freddie Mercury, Liberace, Rock Hudson, Gia Carangi, Anthony Perkins... and Isaac Asimov.

Are you a postdoc or 4-5th year grad student working on any problem in environmental microbiology and are interested in giving a virtual seminar (via zoom) on your hard work to a crowd of interested researchers at Montana State's Thermal Biology Institute in spring? Email/DM me!

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

Scientists: have you been the target of an online harassment campaign, doxxing, or weaponized FOIA requests? I'd like to talk to you about steps you had to take to protect your digital security for an upcoming Nature story. (You can be anonymous if necessary.) RTs appreciated.

Henry Wrinkler is going to San Diego; muahahahaha

I am supposed to be SLEEPING not DISCOVERING LIPID MAPS oh NO

RATS EAT BATS

Mechanics would have been so much more interesting if we'd studied projectiles like these instead of all those stupid who-cares balls...

Like Shazam...for food!

You gotta keep a couple smashin' globins around for when things get stressful! ... .... .....would it be irresponsible to sell party packs of smashable molecules, or would it be irresponsible *not* to?

Sadly, looks like I’ll definitely be missing SFN. Too late to get travel approved even if the government reopens, and too late to attend in my Brained Glass capacity as part of Art of Neuro. What a year this has been….

I think about this a lot

I want an Oops! All Dippers constellation map :-/

DOCK calibration, autocorrect, dock!

Guys guys guys who wants to help answer this question?!: "How have databases or algorithms designed to understand the way proteins fold, i.e. AlphaFold2 or RoseTTAFold, impacted your research?" #biosky #RNAsky #structuralbiology #biophysics

This makes me really want to hear Simon and Garfunkel play Ring of Fire...sorry 🤷‍♀️

Heh. Heh heh. Ho ho ho. Happy mole day!

Last chance to download my book for free! It's still available until tomorrow.

I want to go swimming. I want to forget everything I've ever learned about microbiology and go swimming.

like how they can kick you out of an all you can eat restaurant if they don't find "sufficient artistic merit" in your life sized mashed potato and French fry sculpture

Week 1 of first drafts :)

Reminder! The deadline for our infographic competition is the 18th of October. The last day of #biologyweek You can find out more information here www.asab.org/education-news There are three age categories: 7-10 years old, 11-14 years old and 15-21 years old.

Something about Harpers Bizarre's music sounds deeply disturbing to me, for reasons I don't care to investigate

Looking at #20 and wondering how many PDB entries have fascinating tales of rivalry behind them...

....that was some weird shit

👀 #3DThursday: Cross your eyes to see this super res pollen dataset in 3D! Good old fashioned stereo pairs in #syGlass bringing science to life. 🌿✨ 🔬: Zeiss LSM 980 with Airyscan 2 🥼: Nat Prunet, @nat-prunet.bsky.social 🏛️: UNC Biological Microscopy Core: tarheels.live/biologymicro... 🎬: syGlass.io

I'm super looking forward to this

I see the news, it seems Shakespearean, I post a doodle of a virion

No that's my emotional support bile

I'd love to watch an awards ceremony for sermon vagueness

Rooooooosh Hashanah, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain!

I completed a little embroidered chrysomelid. It turned out so cute! I created a tortoise beetle design that I will try out later. Fall always makes me want to do fiber arts. I still have a new king-sized quilt in the works so there's hefty competition for my creative energy this year.

Just cause I was thinking about it recently, here is one of my all time favorite scientist profiles. Joan Ruderman interviewing Yoshio Masui when he won the Lasker (along with Nurse and Hartwell) for his work on maturation promoting factor in xenopus oocytes. laskerfoundation.org/winners/key-...
