Quinn Langdon's climate modeling looks like it was on the nose!

@RyanTScott @pastramimachine I would like all biological simulation programs to be referred to as improbability drives from now on.

This... is... wonderful!

Small but mighty! This is a video of a killer T cell of the immune system destroying a monstrous ovarian cancer cell. I recently captured this data on a spinning disc confocal microscope.

Cool! This is what I'm reading after JC tomorrow @bioBarber

People will try to label you as though it’s the most natural thing: ‘are you an immunologist, a microbiologist, or a computational biologist?’

Don’t fall for that. A label may limit your opportunities to do basic research, and find new things regardless of human-made divisions.

@kdc509 That. Is. Amazing.

A lab haiku for today:
No protein bands here
I thought I did a western
Really a noir

Pickle follow up
"do I just pick the pickle?"
"I'm worried about the pickle load" (me too. It sounds heavy)

It took me a couple of minutes to figure out why my spouse was telling his college over zoom to "get pickle dot pie"

@cj_battey Whatever you do it will be important to go through all the 5 stages of the algorithm, from Denial to Acceptance as fast as possible. And then to go get some long reads or find diagnostic SNPs.

My lab at Pitt is hiring a full time research technician, starting summer 2022! Perfect for those with some prior research experience and interests in microbiology and/or evolution.
Please RT and help connect us with interested candidates!

Could not stop laughing at this

Don’t do this.

At our new Biology Building at the ⁦@univienna⁩ we have a wonderful family room for use by staff and visitors with young children. Full of books, toys, games, puzzles and places to sleep, a desk for working and even slippers to put on.

Congratulations to Caitlin Kowalski (@caitlinkowa), a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of @bioBarber who is the first UO researcher to get a Whitney fellowship, which goes to to promising young researchers in biomedical science. https://t.co/bCwJtlj0Ev

"Techniques...are very old with most of the basic protocols being from the 1980s or 1990s."
I don't need your subtle burn on millennials right now methods paper.

I'd love to know the answer too. I greatly enjoy being regaled by tales of yore. Like how back in the day one had to thermal cycle reactions by physically moving them to different water baths. I was told a timer and a six pack were essential equipment.
