Our (hopefully interesting) @currentbiology.bsky.social article is still not appearing/index on Google Scholar, after several months and several emails sent. As you can imagine, this is VERY DISRUPTIVE to my life, so wondering whether anyone else has experienced similar horrors and has tips?

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

100% this! In my lab, grad students take an entire course on microscopy so that they know how to operate multiple kinds, clean and calibrate them and theory. It’s been a great way to ensure confidence in students and ongoing operation of my Zeiss Axioplan. #neuroskyence
