Triple whammy for this #fluorescencefriday: neurons, slime molds, pollen grains. #Microscopy work never gets old! When science is healthy, beauty and utility come together seamlessly.

question for anglophone fish friers: why does the expression "we've got bigger fish to fry" imply that it's somehow better to fry big fish before frying small fish? is there some kitchen logic behind it?

the true #cybernetic system, in the originary sense of Wiener, is not the tech bro trying to digitize his consciousness—it's me, the postdoc washing the plastic bowls while my dishwasher does the corelle plates

i ordered T25 flasks from Fisher, but got a shipment of T12.5s instead - now my cells know what it was like living in new york for grad school

I love it when an old skill from a bygone chapter of life happens to find its way into another. In science, nothing is wasted!
A little late, but as they say, it's 5 pm somewhere. #fluorescencefriday

I am 50-50 on Nolan's films because I judge movies largely on their scripts and I am quite convinced dude does not know how human beings actually talk
Bluesky is my safe space, so here it goes: The Oppenheimer script was bad and the movie was saved by its visuals. The women are so poorly drawn (Nolan is infamous for this) and the dialogue is thumping and heavy-handed. His films have a reputation of being intellectual but they feel shallow to me!

no, the concept of Efficiency is NOT a ploy by Big Engineering to hide the fact that sending warmth to the universe can be done in myriad and infinitely beautiful ways

Opening the Bluesky existence with a scientific banger from D’Arcy Thompson’s classic, On Growth and Form (1917):
“The soles of our boots wear thin, but the soles of out feet grow thick, the more we walk upon them[.]"
