I will be like these cows when my foot surgery is done and healed!

In Sweden, crowds line up just to watch cows go outside for the first time since winter.. 😊

Eight Sandhill Cranes take flight at first light after roosting overnight on the Platte River in Nebraska. A nearly full moon backs the birds, as the sky just begins to take on a pink hue.

I am buzzing with excitement just back from another trip to see this spectacle! There is something profound about the great Sandhill Crane migration at the Platte River. Each morning is like tuning in live to nature’s crescendo—soft purrs in low light transform into a booming, prehistoric orchestra.

A rare seven-planet ‘parade’ will light up the sky. Here’s how to see it. The planetary alignment will be visible Friday night, but not all of them can be seen by the naked eye.

If you bring a telescope and get away from city lights Friday evening, there’s a chance you’ll see seven planets parading through the sky.

Thanks Juan - it's so nice seeing all the work we've done over the years come to this. Fei and Hang are amazing scientists. See you in a week or two!

Systems-level design principles of metabolic rewiring in an animal - Nature Systems-level Worm Perturb-Seq of metabolic genes reveals design principles of transcriptional metabolic rewiring, many of which can be explained by a compensation–repression model.

Should biology put complexity first? The dictum “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler” poses a problem for biology. How simply can it be told without doing damage to its complex nature? The answer might be foun...

A must read for any (systems) biologist!

Worm Perturb-Seq: massively parallel whole-animal RNAi and RNA-seq The transcriptome provides a highly informative molecular phenotype to connect genotype to phenotype and is most frequently measured by RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). Therefore, an ultimate goal is to pert...
