i’m so happy DV decided to re-write Messiah. if the movie can deliver on the trailer, I feel like we might get a first in the world of Dune: an adaptation that is better than the book 🤞

Losing my mind at this Murder, She Wrote promo

The best edit I’ve seen in weeks, you absolutely have to turn the sound on for this one.

Happy Return of the Living Dead Day! Time for the yearly rewatch of this most excellent of films.

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

“some days you’re the bug, some days you’re the windshield” is one of my favorite phrases because depending on your perspective the situation is either bad or very very bad

(1/n) Very excited to share tri-lab collab (Mirny & Zechner) led by Harvey, Henrik & Jack: Q: How do enhancers & promoters interact in space (contact vs. action-at-a-distance) and time (stable vs. transient)? A: Transient E-P contact (~25-42 nm lasting ~10-20 sec): www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Can I introduce you to a Leaf Sheep…a type of sea slug about the size of a grain of rice. 🙂

Mon Dieu. Versailles. Macron is trolling the grand ignoramus Donald Trump like no one has ever trolled him before. The only thing he could have done worse to Trump would have been to put Trump's name on the Compiègne Forest rail car and tricked him into signing it there.

1.1 million gut cells. 343 individuals. One of the largest single-cell atlases ever built for Crohn's disease. IBDverse is out in Nature Genetics, and the biology it surfaces is worth paying attention to. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #SingleCell #Bioinformatics #IBD

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Exciting breakthrough technology from the lab, now live in @cellcellpress.bsky.social ! Instead of cutting the genome where proteins bind (e.g., Cut&Tag), D&D-seq scars the DNA with a deaminase, allowing single cell genome mapping of TFs and chromatin remodellers!

Single LLMs can annotate cell types. They can also hallucinate them. 56% of initial predictions in a new study were classified as hallucinations. What if you make multiple LLMs deliberate until they agree? www.nature.com/articles/s42... #scRNAseq #Bioinformatics #LLM #AI

As scientists, we are obsessed with efficiency. But not all inefficiency is waste. Time wasted is often not. Long conversations, fumbled experiments, slow iterations, afternoons lost in thought. Don't optimize your life away. Life happens in the small spaces in between

A proposed OMB rule would allow political appointees to override scientific peer review when making federal research funding decisions. For ECRS, this isn’t abstract. It affects training, jobs, and future discoveries. Read more ⬇️ sciencepolitics.org/2026/06/05/w... From us @snapcoalition.org

Your RNA-seq differential expression results might be cleaner than you think. Or messier. The problem is you probably can't tell from the analysis alone. 🧵 Paper: academic.oup.com/bib/article/... #Bioinformatics #RNAseq #BatchEffects #DifferentialExpression #DeepLearning #ComputationalBiology

Doing a linear stretch on these images shows how dramatic the "edits" were, revealing the deception in clear terms. This should be a complete scandal for Thermo Fisher and more people in the biosciences should be talking about it.

Excellent album - the red vinyl arrived yesterday. Very glad they released new stuff 😃👍👍 Cranking the volume to 11.

TL;DR: We've identified more than 100 cases of apparent manipulation in Thermo Fisher Scientific's antibody verification data. @sholtodavid.bsky.social @johanduchene.bsky.social reeserichardson.blog/2026/05/28/h...

Well this is horrific.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

What does an analytic number theorist sound like when drowning? log log log log log... 🤣🤣🤣

About 60% of sharks are viviparous, meaning they use placental gestation like humans. Which means: SHARKS CAN HAVE BELLY BUTTONS. These small scars generally heal/disappear in a few months after live birth, making them a useful indicator of newborns in viviparous shark species. (📷:NOAA)

OWOWOW!

NEW: A serious staffing shortage — of the Trump admin's own making — is delaying the agency's ability to send billions to universities around the country, leaving labs reeling in the meantime. “I thought we were at rock bottom”, a senior NIH official said. “We are below rock bottom now.”

Why can't we explain enhancer action despite 2 decades of chromosome conformation technologies? 😬 Our new study spearheaded by Leonid Mirny's group points to a flaw in our assumptions, and to a solution from physical principles By @timothyfoldes.bsky.social 💻& @karissalhansen.bsky.social 🧪 🧵👇
