Dear friends with access to microscopes,
If you would ever permit me to share your microscopy videos, I can’t promise I’ll pronounce things properly but I absolutely will find the perfect song that captures the biology (wait for it). 🧪

One of my favourite recent examples of community science:
Park volunteer Deb Manley discovered an entirely new genus & species of plant after uploading it to @inaturalist.bsky.social & realizing no one knew what it was!
It was the first such discovery in a US national park in nearly 50 years! 🧪

2 days of brain development in a few seconds ⚡️
Magnified 40x, blue- & red-coloured axons extend out in search of new connections. Captured in a chick embryo, but a similar process takes place in our brains 🧠
