Transferable skills

“Much like farm animals on growth hormones, humans can easily live the entirety of their existence sustained by the distractions of a technofeudalistic society, never for a minute raising their heads to notice that they, in fact, are inhabitants of an enclosure”

RE: https://biologists.social/@kofanchen/115531843605919177 Yes, it was a lot of fun to record the parts about early brain #evolution and marine #plankton for this BBC series last year in Ischia, Italy!

Here we go!!! Please do consider signing! Olivia @olivia.science and her peer peeps act as scholars owe to do, as we all owe to.

One pic saves a thousand words. Applied in all layers of the living experience for most. Good reminder.

Oh congratulations on this very beautiful body of work @longweibai.bsky.social and @francoisleulier.bsky.social :)

James Watson died yesterday. He was a bad man with many bad ideas. We owe a debt of gratitude to the unknown hero who uploaded this picture of him to Wikipedia.

Love for Parisian doors.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting. If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Pleased to have had a hand in shaping the new edition of Comprehensive Molecular #Insect Science. The insects provided the complexity; the chapter contributors made sense of it www.sciencedirect.com/referencewor... #Physiology #Reproduction #Neurobiology #Ecology #Immunity #Symbiosis #Endocrinology

Let's hope this is going to be different than the hopes up and people cheering on for Tsipras! One can only be satisfied with the news of course! Gunpowder day and all :)

Cigarettes were heavily marketed as modern, progressive products. Whether new health benefits or just keeping up with the times. The tobacco industry absolutely used this tactic. Fine to be ignorant of such things but ignorance requires discretion. cancerhistoryproject.com/article/how-...

The FPbase spectra viewer just had it's biggest software refactor in 6 years. It *should* be largely invisible to the end user (hopefully just faster and less buggy). Please let me know if you find any issues as you use it! www.fpbase.org/spectra/

Now in @embojournal.org: Researchers in @labgrosshans.bsky.social & UCSC found that similar molecular machineries control daily circadian rhythms & developmental timing—showing that evolution can repurpose core timing systems to coordinate both daily cycles & growth. www.fmi.ch/news-events/...

Hello... pumpkin!

Last night I watched over 100 pelicans feed just off the coast after sunset. Here's one of them. 17 frames taken from a sequence of 44 over 2.5 seconds. Incredible dinosaurs!!! 🪶

Deadline approaching for the EMBO meeting "Molecular and Developmental Biology of Drosophila" 21 – 27 June 2026. Both new and established PIs welcome. Apply by Nov 3rd! meetings.embo.org/event/26-dro...

We are thrilled to announce the inaugural Metabolism in Development & Physiology virtual seminar, a new series connecting researchers across all stages & disciplines in metabolism! 🗓 13 Nov 2025, 16:00 CET 🎙 Alexander Aulehla (EMBL Heidelberg), & 🎙 Christopher Bell (Uni of Oxford) See you there!

Scientists long thought the plant cell wall to be dead, but it's an active, even chatty participant in cellular growth, reproduction and responses to infection go.nature.com/4nqhFhU

So who defines what is criminal and who the criminal is?

Amazing 🥰

he won't see it and won't learn, but you all should take notes... we even have universal suffrage for the archbishop LMAO we're maximally vibing

Ohhhh nice!!!!

Beautiful "fundamental physiology" paper in a glamour journal - there is still some hope! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Such a nice collection of brain-body interaction articles in the special issue of @currentbiology.bsky.social. Love the beautiful vagus nerve on the cover by Andreas Vesalius www.cell.com/current-biol...

How can we see the cells that make up a living organism? Membrane-localising tags can drive fluorescent proteins to the cell's outer membrane, making their outlines visible. But the tags don't work well in all organisms. How do you find one for your species of interest? 🧵 Check our latest preprint

Comet Lemmon on Oct 21, 2025. I really like how the ion and dust tails are clearly visible. This image is a stack of 226 ten second exposures. Total exposure about 40 minutes. #cometLEMMON #astrophotography

A must read for Neuro-Physio lovers! How estrous cycle phase interacts with hunger states to dictate aggressiveness towards pups! Discussing the Biorxiv version at journal club was a blast. Congrats Jonny kohl and colleagues!

Ageing is a discontinuous process shorturl.at/D5uGi across a broad variety of organisms, nematodes, zebrafish, drosophila shorturl.at/RSs0Q and now mice. If you study ageing... Smurf your model!

Popopop Finally out bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.... Started thanks to an ATIP grant from @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social in 2018 with the recruitment of Dr. Céline Cansell (now CR @inrae-france.bsky.social) This work validates the evolutionary conservation of ageing as a biphasic process in mice
