👽 While it looks alien, this cluster of spore-bearing sporangia called sorus can be found on the underside of a fern frond, in this case, a tiny polypody fern, Polypodium virginianum. Captured and stained by Janelian Igor Siwanowicz.

Lots of scientists are amazing artists. But this thread isn't about them. It's about the rest of us, who are just trying to get through our methods figure so we can get back to showing you graphs.

These CNC machine products are impressive.
The products of Beijing Jingdiao Group are so precisely engineered that you can’t find a fitting gap.

A paper in Nature describes an untethered, self-powered, soft robot developed for deep-sea exploration. In trials, the robot was found to operate successfully in the depths of the Mariana Trench, and could swim freely up to 3,224 metres below the surface. https://t.co/IGugobd5xV

A new method allows researchers to analyse the dynamics of immunological synapses while avoiding the limitations of fluorescence microscopy. The approach combines deep learning algorithms and a 3D imaging technique called optical diffraction tomography https://t.co/nUZzyOJ2Uz

A study in mice identified a specialized type of bone-cell progenitor in the bone marrow, which supports the generation of immune cells in response to movement. https://t.co/HpMv8TWhk1

One of history’s most influential thought experiments involves a radioactive zombie cat, letters to Albert Einstein, and multiple Nobel Prizes...

It's time for a thread on Schrödinger’s Cat👇👇👇

We asked Konstantina Kilteni what happens in the brain when we are tickled and why we can’t give ourselves the same giggles when we try tickling ourselves. @kkilteni_neuro

An honour to be part of this great panel with many talented scientists discussing diversity issues in "What are the main barriers to succeed in brain sciences in Latin América?"
Dont miss it! ☺️👇🏽

We've done over one thousand interviews since @five_books first started in 2009. But which books get mentioned again and again? Here's our list of most recommended books: https://t.co/svN6ZoTkzF

Tomorrow, I will be releasing a new version of the #ImageJ ActionBar plugin in which bars can stick to the ImageJ main window, together with a convenient "channels bar" to easily change display mode and channel visibility. See how it works below.

Don’t miss this meeting! I am really excited to discuss the neurobiological mechanisms underlying social behaviors in females in our symposium entitled “From sex to rage: understanding the female brain”, together with @TheNeumannLab, @LimaLab3 , @veenemalab and @SilvaNeuroendo
