The final stop on our Field Trips Tour is Dr. Beth Stevens’s lab at Boston Children’s Hospital.
Fun fact: the Stevens Lab is bigger than some entire university departments, and is spread across Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard, and MIT!

With a lab so big, Dr. Stevens’s team must be working on something huge!
That’s why we’re bringing you to the Stevens Lab to check it out!

First stop on our Field Trip tour is Dr. Feng Zhang's lab at the Broad Institute.
You may already be familiar with Dr. Zhang’s work if you’ve ever heard of CRISPR… but how do you follow up a hit like that?
That’s a story big enough to tell in person.

Join us at Brandeis University to visit Dr. Hannah Yevick’s Lab, where the focus is on billions of individual cells that fused together to become one super cell spanning 13 square meters!
That’s the kind of thing you want to see for yourself.

When Hannah Yevick learned that the placenta contained a cell whose surface spanned 13 square meters, the biophysicist was fascinated. For this episode of @scishow.bsky.social Field Trips, we traveled to Yevick's lab to learn about the largest cell in the human body.

Dear people who design bathroom stalls,
1- please design the stalls with the doors swinging OUT rather than in
2- if you’re going to swing the doors in, the stall should at least be big enough for me ti enter the stall and close the door without my legs touching the toilet. That’s nasty.
Thanks.

Just read this on Insta and am gobsmacked at how the AI propagandists are telling us TO OUR FACE that they want to:
1) replace all artists and thinkers
2) read our every emotion
3) influence our every move
And us being pissed is just “the first stage of grief”
KEEP UP THE PUSH BACK FOLKS!
