The global food supply chain creates one-fourth of the total human-generated greenhouse gas emissions, with significant contributions from food loss and waste.

Using fungal fermentation, @NOFOKitchen is converting food waste into nutritious, tasty treats.

Fungi gave us the first true antibiotics; now, mycologist Nancy Keller @UWMadisonMMI is searching for other valuable natural products that may be lurking in fungal genomes.

Also, check out my past story for @DrugDiscovNews on how unusual findings from the corners of plant and worm research lead to a paradigm shift in our understanding of gene regulation!

When I spoke with Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun back in 2022 about their discovery of microRNAs in C. elegans, Ruvkun noted that their findings were cast aside as an oddity in worms. “There was always a view that worms were quirky and weird,” he noted. 🧵

Textbooks often depict proteins as nicely folded three-dimensional structures, but many proteins are far from it.

Learn all about intrinsically disordered proteins in my latest feature for @TheScientistLLC !

[Kresten Lindorff-Larsen @LindorffLarsen]

Very nice article by @dmgerhard on

“The Dynamic Lives of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins”

with quotes from @G_T_Heller, @alexholehouse and myself about our shared love of and fascination with these proteins

I recently wrote about how neurons, with their tiny cell bodies and expansive volumes, maintain thousands of independent connections, many of which are far from the cell body. 🧠

Thanks to @erin_schuman @Kelsey_C_Martin @angalus_d for speaking to me about their research.

[MPI for Brain Research @MpiBrain]

Dive into the intricate world of neurons in this new article published in @TheScientistLLC and discover how decentralized translation shapes our memories. A must-read for all #Neuroscience and #MemoryResearch enthusiasts. 👉https://t.co/KV83hLJqev

How does the heart go from silent to beating?

@dmgerhard spoke to @SeanMegason @harvardmed and @BillZJia @Harvard about their @Nature study using an all-optical electrophysiology platform to capture and characterize this once in a lifetime event.

In addition to its use in research, the #Foldscope is an educational tool for all ages.
“When you get kids together, it’s stunning how much enthusiasm there is, and it just transforms the kids into questioning,” said @kvijayraghavan . “It is a magnet for curiosity.”

[Danielle Gerhard @dmgerhard]

For the @TheScientistLLC September issue I spoke with @ManuPra18599785 and Jim Cybulski @TeamFoldscope about the development, rollout, and continued impact of their pocket-sized paper microscope.

Research on #CARTcells, novel treatments for #CysticFibrosis, and risk genes for #Parkinsons disease take home this year's @brkthroughprize in life sciences.

I wrote about the discoveries for @TheScientistLLC, and spoke with a few of the winners about their research.
