By studying a class of rare meteorites, scientists reveal new info about our Solar System’s early history & planetary formation. Believed to be part of the 1st generation of planetary embryos, the parent asteroid could’ve delivered important materials like water to early Earth.

A new study from astrobiologists finds that the diversity of RNA viruses on our planet is at least 5 times larger than previously recorded.

Viruses are abundant on Earth & may have played an important role in the origin & evolution of life as we know it: https://t.co/IZLJkynKz6

We finally upgraded our lab website: https://t.co/rQiN39qgWk. A wordpress template from 2005, edited in Dreamweaver, was starting to get really tiresome! Hopefully now that it is easier, we can actually keep the website up to date

Professor: “ if we figure out how to control nuclear fusion for energy, the middle east becomes irrelevant”
Me, the middle eastern TA: 😳😳

funny how academic institutions always tell us that “PhD students are paid a decently livable wage” when most of my colleagues are donating plasma, door dashing and even taking toilet paper form their labs because they can’t afford buying it in bulk.

How much do you know about the trailblazing scientist Barbara McClintock?

McClintock's pioneering research was rejected by the scientific community but she didn't give up. Watch our video to learn more about this remarkable laureate who was born on this day 120 years ago.
