I keep hearing "This isn't #biologicallyrelevant because these are HeLa cells or CaCo cells", how about instead you start asking what does this say about #cancer cells and/or/vs non-immortalized cells. That data isn't garbage, this is so frustrating. #BigPicture, people! think bigger.

I would settle for a "Fabric of the Cosmos" style series with the (spoken as in The Ohio State University) Sean M. (Master of the universe) Carroll.

If your lab needs a logo hmu! (No charge) Check out cliffelab.com for the new lab #logo and i even put an #Easteregg in the homepage. I will also generate a logo deck for different scenarios and a favicon to show up on internet tabs and favorite menus.
Cliffe Labcliffelab.comAnd just like that the dreams of grad students obliterated... While the true visionaries step forward and look for the next step...at the keyboard and at the bench. Herpesviruses are related to phages. Maybe PherpAHerpe doesn.t sound so good... Meh, all is fair in war for science. #biosky
Rob EdwardsStarting with the DNA sequence of a #phage genome, #PholdAPhage will create a 3D reconstruction of the complete phage, almost like you did cryoEM on it! Check out Renee's awesome software github.com/reneegreen81... to assemble unknown phage particles one protein at a time
I vote for the normalization of the term "in vitreo" for cryoEM structures to sooth the brains of cell biologists that insist the cryoEM structure is not the native structure. (It is as close as we can get). This should both satisfy their thirst and aggravate them bc it looks like "in vitro"
20 years of papers saying a protein is in some SUB-compartment in a cell. Reading... reading... some fluorescent microscopy... a couple gels... ABSOLUTELY NO high resolution nor high confidence metrics putting that protein INSIDE that compartment. I think its on the outside. #biosky #science
Vegetative electron microscopy is what we did in the early 2000s when you had to manually pick targets and image on film for multiple days.
STCmicrobebloghas anyone else ever run into that annoying glitch when trying to copy two-column text from a PDF? the twisted history of "vegetative electron microsccopy" is nicely dissected in the below 🧵 by @jamesbicycle.bsky.social
Still in the honeymoon phase of joining a new lab, but I honestly have not been this excited to present at lab meeting since second year of grad school. Digging through the literature and finding a huge hole that has been hidden because of a 10 year old analysis that was interpreted.... questionably
Science is not about your personal opinions or personal experiences for that matter. It's about defining a space in which to talk about the universe. If you fight the science, science will still help you, you just won't understand how and that is okay with us. We move forward for you in spite of you
I preferred my walkman casette bc it skipped less than my walkman CD. And although the N64 had a better processor, it did not have Laura Croft's hips -> PS

Working on the hare or the hair? (alas it's fur, I know)
Lisa Wellwood ArtistDoing a bit of work on the hare again today but it’s a bit too hot in my little room to draw for long. #art #drawing #hares
