It was hard getting in this morning, harder getting dressed afterwards with frozen hands. Minus 1 outside, 5 degrees in. It’s going to be hard for a while now. It’s hard to explain how enjoyable a river swim in January is, but it really is

One of the most dazzling birds in North America is the Indigo Bunting. Blue coloring in birds is structural rather than pigment. The structure of the feathers themselves are what is reflecting blue light. #BlueMonday

Crysmoon - Creatures have adapted to survive and make use of the energies emanating from the crystals in this subterranean region. An ecosystem pretty alien to what's on Earth, though some convergent evolution seems to have occurred. #indiedev #gamedev #gaming #worldbuilding #screenshotsaturday

I’m grateful to have grown up with Mr. Rogers’s Neighborhood, Schoolhouse Rock, Reading Rainbow. They shaped my worldview and perspective in a positive way that gave me hope for humanity and civility as a collective community and country. To see that shattered by MAGA and Trump is heartbreaking 😞

While our bodies seem static, our cells are constantly changing shape or on the move during tissue homeostasis or wound repair & even more dramatically during embryonic development, during events like gastrulation. Defining how cellular machines mediate these events is a key task for our field 1/n

The drug brinzolamide has diuretic effects and is prohibited in sport by WADA as a potential masking agent. Scientists developed and validated an electrochemical sensor to detect brinzolamide in urine, and the new sensor is highly sensitive and specific. #antidoping 🧪 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

There are always a few faculty/teachers who discourage some #students from pursuing STEM. I've been told I couldn't land some jobs because "I am a woman". Don't let anyone discourage you from pursuing #stem. Anyone can positively contribute if they work hard, learn, and gain experience. 🧪👩‍🔬🥽🍎#edusky
