with each breath, each step
another dawn comes closer
...and then another

time weathers us all
inures us to joy and grief
this we must resist
6/6

I’ve moved over to the the other place with brighter skies. Still @aetoumos over there. A nicer place, even with all the grimness we are experiencing now. Look for the haiku/sciku over there.

A final post, from last weekend…
1/n

unrestrained orders
courting stays of injustice
bench lined barricades

rubicon moments
littered across history
recycled conflicts

those bearing witness
press on, filing through darkness
dim beacons of truth

This is journalism that goes a-bov-ine beyond! If this is not worthy of a Punitzer Prize I don't know what is...

New paper from the lab = new #sciku!

old dye with new tricks
now with pendant fluorophore

When AzYariv-Cy5 is doped in with GlcYariv, it binds to AGPs using standard gel binding assays; using this mixture, we can visualize AGPs in maize leaves. AzYariv-Cy5 adds to the toolkit of dyes that can visualize components of the plant cell wall.
