When I was a tiny baby a witch put a curse on me to eat chips

one thing they don’t tell you in driving school is that it’s ok to miss your exit and get off on the next one and loop back, instead of coming nearly to a full stop in the middle of the freeway or careening across multiple lanes of traffic quickly to try to make it

There are so many click-bait, fear-filled headlines about lead and other metals in tampons.
Remember, scaring women about vaginal health is highly profitable.
I evaluated the study in question, and there is no cause for alarm. 1/

It is the perfect encapsulation of modern science publishing to frame someone reading a copy of a paper you published as theft.

What's happening in the lab?

A timelapse movie where you will see the nucleus enters into the root hair cell as spherical and squeezed itself while traveling through the tight space.

@leonardojo Or maybe I didn't go because QE? Doesn't seem like my PI letting me skip an opportunity to speak ESPECIALLY ahead of the QE (rightfully so). 😆

@leonardojo Did I oversleep for the photo? My entire lab is there. 😅

Food is all trade-offs, all the time.

Just about everything has upsides and downsides.

Except raw milk, which is all downside.

Wake up, honey: new phylogeny of flowering plants just dropped!

Over 9K species, 58% of genera, and all 416 families inferred using Angiosperms353! Out now in Nature - congrats to the @KewScience team and SO MANY collaborators!

@ChenxinLi2 Oh wow, it's back to my cohort levels (there were 6 of us).

@ChenxinLi2 Seed germination (sorry ferns).

[Destiny J. Davis @DestinyJDavis]

@leonardojo Always something weird with protoplasts. Always.

[Destiny J. Davis @DestinyJDavis]

"Protoplasts" from dust seeds that I'm highly suspicious of at 400x. Anyone have any idea what these could be? Too big to be bacteria, but looks like bacteria. #tissueculture #plantscience
