Ever wanted to watch a live plant drama? From glowing chromosomes to cell division drama, it's #PlantScience meets sci-fi! A fascinating study led by Valuchova et al. used advanced light sheet fluorescence microscopy to capture meiosis in real time. @SonaValuchova

"Productivity, I’ve come to see, is not measured only by research papers and grants. It is also sustained by presence, rest, and the relationships that give meaning to the work." #ScienceWorkingLife

Deserved acknowledgement that, without Franklin’s data, “the formulation of our structure would have been most unlikely, if not impossible”. - Crick and Watson
Getting Rosalind Franklin’s story right is crucial, because she has become a role model for women going into science https://t.co/wR8fBl5cNJ

And almost 3 decades later, in 2011, I prescribed immunotherapy for the very first time in my career and watched a patient’s melanoma melt away The gap between advances in basic science and progress in the clinic can be long but, without research, we won’t move forward at all!
#OTD in 1982 laureate James Allison published a paper in the Journal of Immunology identifying the protein structure of the T cell receptor, a previously mysterious ignition switch for immune response. His research led to a new way to treat cancer by using our own immune

Most researchers have nothing on Larry Richardson. Racking up more than 130 citations in 4 years, he seemed like a scientific superstar in the making. Except the studies were gibberish—and Larry is a cat. This “exercise in absurdity” is an eye-opening look at byzantine world of

The paperback of #TheGeneticBookOfTheDead is out today. Our bodies and genomes are living archives preserving clues to the ancient worlds in which they evolved. Every animal, plant, fungus, bacterium, you and me—each of us is a book, waiting to be read. https://t.co/AbO6fBein2

Is the cell a computer? Here's what Michael Elowitz ( @ElowitzLab ) had to say in a prior interview: "The computer analogy is a double-edged sword. The analogy is useful in the sense that a cell is a programmable device that can do many different things. And the closest thing

How do plants know when to flower? 🌻 Salk scientists just discovered a genetic mechanism for how plants coordinate their flowering with optimal light and temperature conditions. The genetic module effectively works as a 'coincidence detector,' linking the presence of blue light

What does a city mean after 8 years of living, learning, and changing in it? For me, Brno has been more than streets, it’s been a second home. Here’s my poem, written for the city. #Life #MyJourney #LifeStories #poem

An interesting conversation. Worth listening if you want to learn more about being human. “Many more than just one, gave rise to humans”. History of evolution of humans is messy and our DNA contains bits and parts of multiple ancestors.
New podcast ep. w/ Agustín Fuentes (@Anthrofuentes), prof. of anthropology @Princeton and author of "The Creative Spark". We debunk evolution myths & explore what makes us human - cooperation, creativity, & cultural constructs like race & gender. Links: https://t.co/jkafFA8O7I
