Update: Rojalin came to my office this AM with new data and said: "Rubbing Danny's nose worked!"

Me: Add "Rub Danny's nose" as an essential step in the revised protocol. 🧪

Little known @stjuderesearch.bsky.social secret: Rubbing the nose on the sculpture of St. Jude founder Danny Thomas brings good luck for your experiments! 🧪 🍀 Postdoc Rojalin Pradhan is giving it a try 😉

Here are some “leaf” or phyllid cells from moss Physcomitrium patens gametophore. Cells are expressing a green fluorescence marker that labels the vacuolar membrane. Chloroplasts' autofluorescence is in magenta.
Can you spot dividing chloroplasts?
#microscopymonday #moss #plantcells

The image shows several elongated rhomboid-shaped cells, filled with ovoid chrooroplasts in magenta, as well as a network of bubble-like vacuoles.

Happy Halloween month edition of #MicroscopyMonday! Am I the only one who thinks this cell looks like Slimer from Ghostbusters? This is a confocal image of a SHH-expressing fibroblast with long cytonemes reaching toward neighboring cells 🔬 by @stjuderesearch.bsky.social grad student Christina Wang 🧪

The left shows a fibroblast with long extensions (cytonemes) reaching toward neighboring cells. The right shows the ghost Slimer from Ghospbusters. The cell has a shape similar to Slimer.

I love this and vote that going forward, all bookcases should have animals carved into the wood. Who seconds this vote? 🙋🏼‍♀️

A P/W lab student who had his F31-DIV terminated just got a very fundable score on the (same) F31 he submitted again as a new application in April.

Its almost as if his science and aptitude had nothing to do with "DEI" 🤔

Hope this inspires others with unfairly terminated awards to try again!

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

New reporting: many apparently fired at CDC in 'error'. This is a failure by design given that the admin does not care about fulfilling agency missions. This is the kind of error that should have political consequences.

Unserious people cause real-world harm.

As a county bird recorder I can honestly say that the best and easiest way for you to make your birding count, is to upload them to either eBird or BirdTrack. Doing so contributes directly to #ornithology and bird #conservation at both local and national levels.

In 2002, an online database was set up allowing birdwatchers to record their species observations. It is now a vast resource, shaping scientific research.
