HHMI adopts Plan U journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

People often say that academic research is like a marathon rather than a sprint, usually to emphasize pacing. But in my experience as both a runner and a researcher, I found its deeper commonality to be learning to embrace pain.

This might be one of the simplest images I captured, but very fascinating nonetheless, as it shows how tight the cytoplasm in a plant cell is. The cytosol and all other organelles are squished between the plasma membrane (magenta) and the central vacuole (its membrane is green) #MicroscopyMonday

David Baltimore, giant of molecular biology, has died.

Ooh we've opened our call for small research grants. £10k for any humanities or social sciences research. Open to independent scholars. We use partial randomisation to allocate the funding: random allocation between all that meet the quality threshold www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/funding/ba-l...

Cool program alert! "The P2P Program is a 1-year training program for people interested in pivoting to a career in plant science, imaging, data science, etc, but have limited research experience. It enables adults with at least an associate's degree to upskill in emerging technologies & methods" 🧪🌱

In 1642 Cromwell's men broke these windows at Winchester Cathedral, and in the 1660s when the locals, who had gathered the #pieces, went to put it back together, no one had a drawing of how it looked, so it was replaced as this mosaic of colour 🤩 #BlueSkyArtShow #WeekGforGlass #AlphabetChallenge

One of my absolute favorite meetings! Attendees--please do ask me about CoB and the journal Development. Our community has strong advocates there.

Wonderful (and humble) essay on mentorship by Brandon Gaut, on occasion of Brandon receiving the inaugural Mentorship Award of @genetics-gsa.bsky.social. I hope this will be widely read! academic.oup.com/genetics/art...

“We learned a lot about the Moon, but what we really learned was about the Earth.” Jim Lovell, who guided Apollo 13 safely back to Earth, has died aged 97. His bravery was second-to-none but I loved him for his sense of wonder, and his willingness to let that show. RIP www.bbc.com/news/article...
