I am truly so impressed by the work @analog-ashley.bsky.social is doing with @thetransmitter to write this "how to teach this paper" column, not just interesting facts but also thoughtful commentary about teaching the PROCESS and history of science 🥰
After testing thousands of different molecule combinations, @liddelowsa.bsky.social cracked the code: Three cytokines are to blame.
Here’s how to break down this 2017 molecular biology paper for your students.

I really like transmitter and Simon’s in general. I’m somewhat of a fan/follower. Do they have any mentorship stewardship programs?

First collaboration of the year is out in TheTransmitter - an animated impression of how variety in hormone levels affect the brain - interesting read and another great step towards better understanding of the female brain.

2024 brought a great collaboration with Rebecca for TheTransmitter full of neurology themed topics: Here the paint smeared portrait speaks to Alzheimer's research in a female brain, both the progression of the illness and our yet fuzzy understanding of it.
