A new paper on falling cat science came out and I just have to draw people's attention to this image

More like Matt Badloss.

THOROUGHLY well-deserved 🤩🥳 Excellence is the word

Deep, well sourced, moving, and enraging story from the NYT [Gift Link] www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/o...

We recently updated our paper demonstrating evidence of off-target probe binding affecting the 10x Genomics Xenium spatial transcriptomics platform with key clarifications, new quantifications, and approaches for evaluating custom gene panels: biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵👇1/n

RFK, Jr. says a Harvard researcher cured schizophrenia by feeding his patient a meat-heavy keto diet. The Harvard researcher says he did not. For busy schizophrenic lovers of beef tallow, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Friday evening is the least helpful time to have a hypomanic episode. I COULD HAVE USED THIS ENERGY DURING THE WORKING WEEK.

I'm on a plan 1 loan. It's bullshit, I will never pay it off & it gets wiped 30 years after I graduated, when I hit my mid-50s. I remember the Lib Dems allowing the Tory increase from 3k to 9k (the rationale for which wasn't even EXPLAINED) while I was at Uni. Oli is right to be angry.

A fantastic interview, but the closing monologue is spellbinding. Linked to with timestamp below. 400 years of the human condition is the blink of an eye, and the ugly sentiment behind the 1517 riots are worth condemning today. Ian does it with superhuman eloquence. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2l2R...

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

The p-Tau217 test and emerging immunotherapies will make a monumental difference to how we manage Alzheimer's Disease if, and ONLY if, people who need them can access them. Thank goodness for the policy advocates at Alz. Assoc.!

I'd estimate around 60% of useful answers on stackoverflow are typed in an incredibly hostile tone as a response to a previous, well-meaning but flawed answer.

Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller January 22,1959

I met an absolutely lovely academic who asked whether my department back home is affected by ICE -- a question dramatizing how little info is getting out. For the record, the small example I chose: My dept has a carpool to pick up grad students of color who can't safely commute to campus alone.

Was introduced to the department as a new faculty member today! It was a very long road to this promotion and I'm so glad I attended the faculty meeting in person - it now feels REAL. 🙂 Anyway, my microglial subcluster has 12 marker genes, what on earth am I supposed to do with this

This is sensational

The deepest confirmed fish observation occurred at ~8,300 m. I know the shape behind it is another fish’s tail, but my brain insists it looks like the foreground fish is wearing a party hat. #deepsea #marinelife www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/new...

Saving this screenshot from Threads as a new reaction image

Bit of a weird start to my 36th year.

How on earth am I supposed to smuggle this word into a manuscript

HORSEDAY

Some say Brits tend to be quite understated. I'm not sure generalized national or cultural stereotypes are terribly accurate or useful. Anyway, this is not great science communication.

Hello! I'm back to talk about R community. This is a thread about @rainbowr.org, a community for LGBTQ+ folks who code in R 🌈 I know previous RoCurs have talked about rainbowR, but as the co-founder and co-lead of the community, I can't not write this thread! rainbowr.org

Thanks @robcaliff.bsky.social and 11 other prior FDA Commissioners for weighing in on vaccines, evidence, appropriate policy in today's @nejm.org www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.... www.statnews.com/2025/12/03/f...

JASPAR 2026 is out 🎉 The new release massively expands the TF motif collections and adds a dedicated DeepLearning collection of motifs learned from deep learning models. Database: jaspar.elixir.no Paper (NAR): doi.org/10.1093/nar/... 🧵1/2

I know many of us review manuscripts as a service, but how much attention do you have to NOT be paying?

Love this concept!

I think the maths teacher one is my favourite

Does anyone else find it a little funny that legendary guitarist Chris Rea wrote both the festive favourite "Driving Home for Christmas" but also the absolute classic that is "The Road To Hell"?

What a gem from @dudinlab.bsky.social @gautamdey.bsky.social @centriolelab.bsky.social in Cell! Expansion microscopy atlas of >200 eukaryotes comparing cytoskeletal architectures revealing structures not seen before. Stunning visualisation! Exactly the kind of transformative cell biology we need.

The Andrew Formerly Known As Prince

During the lab meeting this morning I made a joke about a "look at me!" experiment using heparin in a paper, saying it was a "red heparin". Stupid. Silly. Went on to have one of the best days in ages. Causative, for definite. Does anyone have any puns for "glucocorticoid"?

This is so good to see - a young baby has had a life changing treatable disease diagnosed early due to broad based (healthy baby) genome sequencing. He has a rare eye cancer gene, and has immediately been put into the effective treatment pathway.

(forgetting the word for antibiotics) do i need cancel culture

Silliness is universal, it takes on new forms with every generation, and it is a cheap and easy source of fun.

A good day to remember John Gurdon’s school report from his biology master at Eton

I just discovered this GIF exists and I'm being very normal about it

Absolutely fantastic news for patients! Sarah Tabrizi and Ed Wild have been working towards this for decades, I'm delighted for them.

Enough of this noise. 🙉

I don't know who needs to hear this, but just because I'm going 50 in a 30 zone does not give you the right to tailgate me. And those flashing lights on your car look ridiculous.

I'm squashing the beef: that owl is alright

I'll admit, I was skeptical when they said Gemini was just like a bunch of PhDs. But I gotta admit they nailed it.
