Did you know? #Pollen is so distinctive that it can be used as forensic evidence. Learn more from @jondrori https://t.co/aDMKbjhPAI

It's #spring, comrades! And that means pollen. Tons and tons of pollen.
🔬 Lilly pollen

🚨Update from the Department of Nanoscale Exploration🚨
Due to low ratings on the expedition thus far, the Committee has decided to reformat the broadcast.
Captain Banks may be a goofball and slow learner, but we of the Committee are not.
Key learnings thus far that will influence the new direction:
1) Twitter is not suited for a narrative format.
2) Compelling visuals are more valuable than narrative.
3) Capt Banks should tap into his strengths, which include micro photography and nanoscale simulation.
It's a very NANOCOSMIC day, folks: #DNADay2018!
And not to steal DNA's thunder, but today is also KING of the NANOCOSMOS K. Eric Drexler's birthday! 🎈🎈🎈
Drexler's science writing has inspired generations of NANOCOSMONAUTS like myself. 🔬
Happy bday Drexler & happy #DNADay!

Alright, just assembled my handy dandy CARBON NANOTUBE! I'll use this as a scaffold to climb down into the NANOCOSMOS!
No vapor winds can stop the NANOCOSMONAUT!
Looks like we overshot our calculations, Nelson. The pressure release just shot me 10 microns into the air! Gonna feel that one tomorrow....
Time for the backup plan. Nelson, send me some CARBON RINGS, and set my scale to 1 NANOMETER!

Alrighty, Nelson, it's time! Put your cell phone down!
On the count of three, drop the humidity. That should crank up the hydrostatic differential, cracking open this GATEWAY TO THE NANOCOSMOS! 🤩
One... two.... THR-
