What a heroic effort to find subtle differences that contribute to some pretty dramatic effects on microtubule dynamics! (A good reminder that with 1,600 subunits per μm of microtubule, subtle differences can add up quickly—and cooperatively!)

Hörempfehlung! Sehr aufschlussreiches Interview mit @christianeflorin.bsky.social “Fakten” und “Faktentreue” werden zunehmend negativ geframed, Überprüfung von Fakten als “Zensur” gelabelt. Fachwissen wird verächtlich gemacht. Eine erfolgreiche Strategie der neuen Rechten.
