The Extinct & Endangered book is out today. A collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History, the project raises awareness of insect decline and biodiversity loss. #insectdecline #biodiversityloss #biodiversity #insects #extinction #climatechange #habitatloss

Looking for a used or cheap gel-imager. I know there are probably hundreds of these things laying around in labs unused…maybe someone is willing to part with one that’s just taking up space?

What do you do when you can’t find primers that are specific for your target DNA. I’ve got 5 similar genes and only want to amplify a 1000bp fragment of 1 of the genes. Primer-blast didn’t do it no matter how I tweaked the parameters. Help!

If you crispr some bugs and don’t see the behavioral phenotype you’re after, you should still PCR and run a gel in case it’s mosaic? Yes/NO!?

Our research on using AlphaFold2 to predict how peptides from disordered regions bind proteins has now been published with @SpringerNature in @NatureComms I am very happy to share the updated paper with you 😀 https://t.co/Pw9ny7gH3E
📢New preprint (together with Hélène Bret and Raphael Guerois) exploring how often AlphaFold2 can identify the correct binding site and interface for peptides from disordered regions, depending on the size of the input fragment and on the provided multiple sequence alignment.

The smallest flying insects, of the genus Megaphragma, are smaller than a single-celled amoeba. An adult wasp has 4,600 neurons, compared to a house fly with 340,000. Their neurons also don't have a nucleus, which enabled their brains to shrink by 50%.
