Did you know heart muscle cells can have multiple nuclei? (See the pic on my profile for an example!)
Within each nucleus, there can also be multiple sets of chromosomes (polyploidy). 🧬🧬🧬🧬

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.
