In what may be one of Earth’s craziest forms of mimicry, researchers in 2023 reported a species of rove beetle that grows a termite puppet on its back to fool real termites into feeding it.

After decades of warnings, new data suggest the Atlantic’s vital circulation may withstand climate warming better than feared.

Smile! Tomorrow is the Northern Hemisphere’s summer solstice! 😎☀️
This “sunny smile” is made of coronal holes — darker, cooler regions on the Sun where solar material escapes to space at incredible speeds. 🕳️
More on coronal holes in this episode of NASA’s Illuminate.👇

Higher meat intake was associated with less cognitive decline and lower dementia risk in APOE e4 carriers, a group at higher risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
Those who ate ~2 servings of meat per day had a better 10-year cognitive trajectory and a 55% lower dementia risk compared to people eating less than a half a serving per day.
That pattern wasn't seen in the non-APOE e4 carriers and was NOT observed for processed meat. Unprocessed red meat alone was also linked to lower dementia risk in APOE e4 carriers.
My take is not “everyone should eat more meat.”
But a few servings per day of unprocessed meat (as observed in this study) is perfectly healthy for most people.
Mitochondria in a living cell, imaged today while I was training new lab members on our spinning-disk confocal microscope. Shown are the full cell and zoomed-in regions of interest. Total imaging time: 60 minutes. #CellBiology
We’ve long thought of epigenetic memory as an on/off switch — genes either fully activated or fully repressed. But a new study from MIT engineers reveals something far more nuanced: cells actually remember gene activity on a dimmer dial, not a binary switch.
It opens the door to discovering new cell types and understanding previously hidden biological behaviors. https://t.co/lmaO9P13hv

One proposed strategy to promote a youthful immune system and human healthspan is to rejuvenate our thymus gland. Can we learn from this exceptional (and peculiar looking) vertebrate that can do this? @SciImmunology

Just texting someone about spacetime diagrams of the Universe (conformal diagrams if you really care) and the autocorrect called the beginning of the Universe The Big Bag. Which amused me more than it should have.
Albert Einstein visited the Hopi people near the Grand Canyon in 1931, where he was honored with a feathered headdress and a peace pipe at Hopi House. The gesture recognized his pacifist ideals and is preserved in a well-known photograph.
