Beautiful video of inter-cellular signaling in a swarming response that I pulled from the other place, produced by @strickland-evelyn.bsky.social in collaboration with D. Irimia lab. The dye detects calcium flux that indicates a signal being received by each cell: you're seeing the 'alarm' go out.

This is important. Nature-based education and experience, from very young age to very old can’t fix all the ills of society, but it is a big step in the right direction. It connects us to the real world and helps us understand what is really important.

if you’re a grant-supported researcher* and your grant funding is “paused” there’s a good chance you’re out of a job and have to switch gears in various ways and a lot of people will be committed to other work even if that “paused” resumes however long from now…
