Super proud of this one - sometimes in museums we get to do the right thing & correct a historical wrong.
Honoured to have played a part in returning Preben Holger Larsen's remains to Denmark, and I hope sharing our methods helps other museums follow difficult research threads.

Flossie Wong-Staal (1946 – 2020) was a Chinese-American virologist and molecular biologist.
She was the first scientist to clone HIV and determine the function of its genes, which was a major step in proving that HIV is the cause of AIDS.

As you can imagine, we at SciAm are extremely excited about the upcoming Vera Rubin Telescope. What's it going to do? "something revolutionary, rare and relatively old-fashioned: it will just look out at the universe and see what there is to see." (by @rboyle31.bsky.social) 🧪
This Revolutionary New Telescope Will Observe the Whole Sky Every Three Days
The game-changing Vera Rubin Observatory will collect more astronomical data in its first year than all other telescopes combined
