Williamson’s and Fennell’s paper that first demonstrated DAPI could be used for fluorescent staining of DNA was published 1974 it only has 460 citations to date. None of the authors on the paper is the person, Otto Dann, who first made DAPI. 1/2

Surprised to discover that Thermo Fisher appears to show a fake western blot for the validation of one of their p53 antibodies. I've added a diagram to show the very similar bands. This does not appear to be one of the "published figures", but their own internal data.
The best thing about AI is that I no longer have to wonder what my lab would look like as a level in the 90ies point-and-click computer game Myst. 🏛️🧪✨
Watch Dr. Emily Isko discuss her work on the brain circuit changes associated with the rapid evolution of song production in the Costa Rican singing mouse
Excited to share new preprint with NVIDIA on GPU-accelerated single-cell analysis 🚀
rapids-singlecell brings native GPU support to scverse/AnnData: hours → seconds (1M cells: ~52m → ~25s), scaling to 100M cells. Huge thanks to Severin Dicks 🙌

Congratulations to the 2026 laureates of the Brain Prize!
ERC grantee Patrik Ernfors (Karolinska Institutet) shares the award with David Ginty (Harvard Medical School) for discoveries on how we sense touch and pain.

@shelbynewsad There’s no technical barrier here - only an economic one. Recombinant proteins cost almost nothing to produce at scale, yet are sold at less than mg quantities. If one company sold key proteins in buckets, labs would use premixed master mixes and stop worrying about waste or loss
A few days left to register for the wonderful CSHL Circuits meeting in March. Always great mix of model species, tools, scales. https://t.co/vf1Wb7Ta7F
🎉 New year, new paper!
Alfred, my first PhD student, just published his very first paper - and it’s featured on the cover of the first issue of @OrgBiomolChem this year! 🥳

A thread 🧵 about what Alfred did and what the paper is all about 👇

What if we swap pyrrolidine for a triazole?
Boons et al. showed it makes a UV-excited, blue fluorophore ✨ But we find the photocage is essential: rmv it generates radicals💥
This makes pyrrolidine fusions the first functional photoclick moiety on dimethoxy-DBCO scaffold

The NMR spectra match the 3 peaks expected for the cis isomer, not trans - confirming that our DBCO adopts the crucial tub-like geometry needed for tetrazine reactivity. 🎯
