Very sad news, John Gurdon has died.
A developmental biologist's developmental biologist, Nobel prize winner
His work is the foundation of much of today's dev & stem cell bio.
An inspiration to many, including me. Always asking questions & wanting the answers

The way no one ever asks students for a letter of recommendation about their PIs… Maybe we need a ‘Yelp!’ for evaluating labs — or some other system that doesn’t put students at risk. Feedback only flows downstream; it’s asymmetrical and can be a career-changer. 🧵1/3 #academiccareer #academiclife

Resist the urge to mow your lawn this spring! Surely wildflowers, long, lush green grasses and lots of insects are far more pleasing than short, green turf? #nomowmay #nomowanytime

There is more evidence behind the claim "JD Vance killed the pope" than there is behind the claim that any of the people renditioned to the slave camp in El Salvador are gang members.

Orchid Bee, Colombia #BlueMonday
Males (like this) collect volatile chemicals, from orchids and other sources, to create complex scents to impress females. They collect chemicals with their front legs, transfer them to the middle legs, then finally into storage pockets in the enlarged rear legs.
