3 pictures marked A, B, and C. The first two are of CT machines with multiple shoes poking out. The last is resulting CT scan results. The caption explains: Fig. 1 --QUAC technique. A. Four pediatric patients position in CT gantry aperture. B. Two adult patients positioned for simultaneous examination and (C) resulting image (bottom, liver cysts; top, ruptured spleen [unrelated to patient positioning within gantry])

I finally had to reverse image search this for my own curiosity.

An April Fools' joke from 1984. The full picture used in the article was even funnier.

Compact Calm1 promoter enables AAV mediated neuron-targeted expression in human iPSC-derived brain organoids - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - Compact Calm1 promoter enables AAV mediated neuron-targeted expression in human iPSC-derived brain organoids

New paper out 🔥!

Small promoter, big potential🧬 We show that the ultra-compact Calm1 promoter efficiently targets human neurons in brain organoids and is a promising alternative to hSyn for AAV gene delivery.

Huge thanks to everyone who contributed to this work!

Our beautiful, purebred Irish Setter bitch Fine gave birth to 13 healthy and lively puppies today, December 29, 2025.
All seven females and six males are doing very well, and there is already plenty of activity in the whelping box.

Life is better with a setter

This is good news because it is an environmentally friendly way to protect potatoes without lots of pesticides that kill every insect in the field, and therefore it helps protect wild birds.

Mammalian apex predators like tigers with solitary lifestyle are more prone to cancer death. Sharks, non-mammalian apex predators, are thought to have low rate of cancer (they have remarkable genome stability and slow rate of evolution). Why are they so different? 🐅🦈🤔
