Looking to replace our autoclave that has unfortunately passed away - any recommendations for an affordable choice (15-18L)

@ATinyGreenCell Plate reader!!!! I’m invested in knowing the outcome of this one

@ATinyGreenCell Now can you find me a -80 that doesn’t make the sound of a wind tunnel? 🤣

@simonmaechling Hiiiii! Couldnt agree more

[Sebastian S. Cocioba🪄🌷 @ATinyGreenCell]

In a world so deeply obsessed with ruthless competition and conquest, I'd love to live in counterpoint by promoting collaborative joy. Let's explore the living world and tell stories around the campfire together. Can't wait to do more community science with y'all. 💚

@zhongwei_zou 😍😍 I wish we had one of these at my company!

@Edel_PLopez The best lab view on the internet

@klsywd Same!

[Alexandra Margets @_acmargets]

It’s been so great working at Innatrix on RNAi biologicals that target critical genes in SCN. Have a read about our technology!

@FlyEyeLab Not the worst work break

[Alexandra Margets @_acmargets]

Meet Innatrix’ summer intern, Ben Ryan! He is a forensic biology undergrad who discovered his love for plant biology (which makes sense since plants are awesome)

With our latest SCN trial taken down this week, Ben is busy counting cysts.

Excited to be Ben’s mentor this summer!

Important work on nematode diet regulation.

Very excited to see my first first author paper published in @PNASNews . We found the first effector regulator in plant-parasitic nematodes! Congratulations to all authors and co first author @ClemPellegrin. https://t.co/QXvViTlJ64

@AnikaDamm @PNASNews @ClemPellegrin What an awesome first first author paper! Congratulations!!!

A day of cyst counting in the books

[Alexandra Margets @_acmargets]

Harvesting cysts from my very first greenhouse trial today. Am I a nematologist yet?

[Sebastian S. Cocioba🪄🌷 @ATinyGreenCell]

Physically doing science, not just being talked down to about it, would change a lot of people's minds. Part of the reason why folks are skeptical of scientific institutions is the moat between general public participation and the various fields of research.

Presenting Nemacounter: a new user-friendly tool for nematologists to aid in phenotypic assessment. Check out the Open Access publication in #ScientificReports, from lead author Joffrey Mejias and the Baum lab.
