Women make up only 16% of corresponding authors who submit to Nature, a new Springer Nature analysis revealed. This is not enough - there are 30-40% #womeninSTEM We want to change it, through targeted editorial policies & outreach. But change will take everyone! 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

China’s first police corgi, Fu Zai, has won top workplace reviews as an unusual breed of sniffer dog. But his lack of self-control cost him his annual bonus after he was caught swiping a sausage from a child during a street patrol.

🧪This came out a couple of days ago and caught my eye. It’s New Scientist’s picks for the best Sci Fi books of all time. Pretty eclectic list! There are old favorites (e.g., George Orwell; Isaac Asimov, Margaret Atwood), along with other interesting picks. What do you all think of their choices?🔬🧬.

Melanoma is more than skin deep. Beyond the physical impact, it can take a serious emotional toll. You’re not alone—whether you’re newly diagnosed, in treatment, or navigating survivorship, support matters. Join the MRA community and connect with others: curemelanoma.org/community

Annual GRFP thread, more relevant than ever (# of awards down 50%). This thread is for students who didn't win the GRFP today. Who are wondering if they belong in science, or scrolling through posts that start "So excited to announce..." with a little spurt of bitterness they aren’t proud of. 1/9

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.
