This Mother’s Day, let’s celebrate one of the many gifts we carry from our moms, our mitochondria!
These tiny powerhouses of the cell are passed down maternally only and stay with us for life, fueling everything we do.

"How’s it going, guys?"

New Biocomicals Cartoon!

“I don’t just raise the H-index… I am the H-index.”

In the world of academic publishing, the h-index often looms large, used (and misused) to gauge a researcher’s impact. This cartoon plays with that idea: the towering, overcited paper that overshadows everything else.

"🔬💰 Science Funding Freezer ❄️"
In #research labs, the -80°C freezer isn’t just for storage—it holds years of work, valuable samples, and sometimes… the fate of an entire project.

With #NIH #budget cuts looming, even the freezers are getting nervous. 🥶

"Frozen Grants"
In labs across the country, scientists wait... and wait.
Without #funding, groundbreaking discoveries are put on hold, brilliant ideas remain trapped in limbo, and #scientific #progress slows to a crawl.
