Expansion microscopy gone too far: look at those big spines!
A photo of an ice cream machine with a sign reading, "Anything is possible with ice cream." Beneath that is a hand lettered sign reading, "No ice cream".
2026 basically
Scientists got bored after watching the Earth rotate for 24 hours.
So they called it a day
Scientist's way of saying 'I ❤️ you'
"I found this paper/preprint that made me think of your project."
"I checked the mice/cells/plates already."
"I just sent you the edits you requested."
"I have a slide/diagram that will work for that."
"I had that problem with [lab equipment], I have a fix."
Handwritten note saying: "But I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything."
Let's celebrate #DarwinDay by reminding ourselves that everyone has moments when they feel worse for wear.
Darwin wrote to Charles Lyell in 1861:
"But I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything."

En este #11F os invitamos 👀
A mirar la Antártida.
A repensar el liderazgo.
Y a entender por qué la igualdad en ciencia también es una cuestión ambiental.
Este año por 1ª vez una astronauta viajará a la órbita lunar, pero hace 7 la NASA ni tenía suficientes trajes espaciales para mujeres. Es un ejemplo de un sesgo histórico: las mujeres han estado excluidas de la ciencia. Lo analizamos en el Día Internacional de la Mujer y la Niña en la Ciencia #11F 👇

Transatlantic Behavioural Neuroscience School 2025 is over! Thanks to all our speakers, participants and TAs, and see you next year - in Poland!
And so Transatlantic Behavioural Neuroscience School 2025 has started today!
This is the worst time in human history to dismiss science. We’re on the cusps of some of the biggest discoveries ever known to human kind. If anything, we need more scientists, not less.
“Do not ask your children to strive for extraordinary lives. Such striving may seem admirable, but it is the way of foolishness. Help them instead to find the wonder and the marvel of an ordinary life. Show them the joy of tasting tomatoes, apples and pears. Show them how to cry when pets and people die. Show them the infinite pleasure in the touch of a hand. And make the ordinary come alive for them.” The extraordinary will take care of itself. William Martin,The Parent's Tao Te Ching

A screenshot of a poem. The poem reads: Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
From “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

HOW TO TRIUMPH LIKE A GIRL I like the lady horses best, how they make it all look easy, like running 40 miles per hour is as fun as taking a nap, or grass. I like their lady horse swagger, after winning. Ears up, girls, ears up! But mainly, let's be honest, I like that they're ladies. As if this big dangerous animal is also a part of me, that somewhere inside the delicate skin of my body, there pumps an 8-pound female horse heart,. giant with power, heavy with blood. Don't you want to believe it? Don't you want to lift my shirt and see the huge beating genius machine that thinks, no, it knows, it's going to come in first.
Happy International Women's Day from Ada Limon
"You have made me feel like I do not belong in science & I cannot forgive you for that."
BRAVO to this student. While I am so disappointed we are still navigating misoogyny in our educational and professional spaces, I am so grateful we have a generation who name it so clearly and capably.
Just sitting in my office, saying "that seems bad" out loud to myself every hour or so.
📌 MADONNA Y UN MENSAJE PARA ARGENTINA

On MLK, Jr. Day, let’s remember that it is supposed to be a day of service. Doesn’t have to be something monumental. Do one small thing today to help others. Imagine just how great it would be if everyone did just that for one day.
