Bruce Dickinson, 60 años, pelo corto y canoso, mirada firme, en una fotografía frontal para un ciclo de conferencias de la BBC. Lleva una camiseta negra con algo que parece un fantasma o una calavera.
En 1994 el cantante más polifacético del heavy metal hizo el concierto más peligroso de la historia del rock.
Suena a doble exageración, pero no lo es.
Preparaos para una historia increíble.
Hoy, en #LaHistorietaMusical, el concierto en Sarajevo de Bruce Dickinson.
Invirtamos en ciencia.

Palaeoart of a giant Prototaxites by Mary Parrish, from Hueber (2001).
1 / 23 Prototaxites is known from some very large fossils, including columns over 8m tall. These fossils date from the end of the Silurian to the Late Devonian (425–365 million years ago). This makes Prototaxites the largest organism on the Earth’s surface before the appearance of tall trees.

A commemorative logo on a solid blue background featuring a large white number "4" next to a circular sunburst or firework graphic composed of yellow, light blue, and dark blue rays, which represents the "0" in "40." The word "YEARS" is curved along the bottom right edge of the sunburst, and the word "together" is written in large, bold, white lowercase letters across the bottom.

Absolutely tickled pink to see Starship Alexandria as one of the winners! Thank you so much to those who voted for the show. I am having so much fun making it with @aptshadow.bsky.social ! A lovely surprise in the last days of a very tough year x
1. In Hamburg there is a "fully autonomous train" that for some reason has a human operator to press the ON switch first thing in the morning and the OFF switch at the end of the night. In a recent talk about AI in science, I asked the audience to consider whether they want to be like that operator.

Here, we identified and functionally validated a novel master regulator of intracellular symbioses!

Excited to share our study out in @natcellbio.nature.com! Led by @mikelangelipid.bsky.social, we identify the first #LipidDroplet lipid quality control pathway: LD-localized FSP1 protects stored lipids from oxidative damage and prevents LD-initiated #ferroptosis.

Dear funding agencies,
I know we all want to discover the wonder drug that will cure the horrible diseases, but to do that, we need to invest in basic, unsexy, foundational research on how the systems work. Funding can’t all be drug development.
Sincerely,
Looking for basic research grants.

Pleased to announce that our book on the evolution of biological agency is now available, thanks to @templetonfdn.bsky.social It condenses +2 years of discussions between a philosopher and a biochemist, including our conversations in the Jardí Botànic @uv.es

Amazing work by the Santiago lab @unil.bsky.social. The malectin-LRR receptor kinase IGP1 senses cello-oligomers to alert the plant immune system & enhance disease resistance. Very nice discovery & mechanism.

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪
Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students.
I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:
