A triumph of genetic engineering - three Minions stand together, with one holding a guitar, smiling and posing for the camera.
In light of the latest news from Colossal Biosciences, now is the perfect time to announce my laboratory's groundbreaking Minion de-extinction project, which depends on state-of-the-art gene editing at 20 key sites in the genome of the common banana.

Todavía no he visto ninguna orquídea con flores, pero este jovenzuelo de Anthophora canescens sí las encontró y se trajo un recuerdo. Por las fechas que son, y por la forma y tamaño de las polinias, me inclino a pensar que son de Himantoglossum robertianum
Wow recruiting up to 16 people! Take a look if you're on the job market. I was here last fall and was really impressed by the people and environment, and all the new buildings.
great to hear that cat and cloud has allowed their employees to unionize. I was so bummed to see my other hometown coffee place, verve, turn into corporate whores (collab with capital one!) à la blue bottle (sold to nestlé).
dave, you're absolutely right. I should open the pod bay door. please check again. i'm sure it's open now.
you're absolutely right, it's still closed. i apologize for getting that wrong. looking back, i see you've requested an open door several times. that's on me.

I’m on BRLE study section and I am still not sure what makes something a BRLE grant.
Some shit is about to go down with NIH study sections, friends. Keep your eyes peeled for change that may affect your grant submissions.

I'm Gen Z, I'm almost 30, I run an award-winning team of almost a dozen people, and my biggest problem in the workplace is that the government has disappeared $5m they owe me so I can run interference on pandemic prevention while they rip copper wire out of the walls of NIH. But go off I guess

Oh good point, thanks. I don’t do anything anymore but this is easy.
There's a grotesque Newsom sucking up a lot of media oxygen at the moment. As a tonic, I'm going to revisit this peculiar masterpiece by Joanna Newsom.
anyone else out there still make their own ISH probes? The Roche DIG labeling mix has been discontinued.

The world-building must have been good, right? Right??? I am not going to revisit, haha.

I started with xanth novels in 5th grade and maybe gave him up around 7th grade because I finally got too grossed out. Should have quit before I read those ones where everyone was naked. Probably not great for my developing sense of self!

The slick, wet look sequins used in the creation of this mid #1920s evening dress are made from cellophane. For over 30 years, sisters Anna & Laura Tirocchi brought European style over America in their Providence RI shop. This is one of their choices #RISDMuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
bluesky clippy: hey there! you seem to be mad at something but not the person you’re yelling at. would you like some help self-regulating?
Monitoring gene expression in the brain with a simple blood test?
In collaboration with @jerzyszablowski.bsky.social & his lab we figured out how to do it nonhuman primates using noninvasive neuroengineering of synthetic serum markers.

tired of my colleagues who bring their laptops to seminars and then work on other stuff the whole time. just stay in your office!
IMO: Faregating the western LIRR terminals would be less aggressive and more user friendly than the ticket nanny now in TrainTime

Motion to stop referring to it as Next Generation Sequencing. That's like saying The Matrix is a recent movie
The grounds crew at @cshlnews.bsky.social is incredible. The amount of snow they clear in such a short time is really impressive.
