This is the first time I see the subject of my studies - #telomeres. Thanks to my colleague and friend Sara Sandin’s team, telomeres were captured by cryo-EM in human cells as little spheres of chromatin lying just under the nuclear membrane. Science is wonderful! academic.oup.com/nar/article/5

'Blood-sucking mosquitoes have their uses. An innovative approach analysing their last blood meals can reveal evidence of infection in the people or animals that the flying insects feasted on.

Scientists say that the method, presented at an infectious-disease conference in Malaysia last week, could be used to study people’s and animals’ past exposure to a range of pathogens, while avoiding the ethical and practical issues of testing them directly.'

The myth of Elon Musk as a genius building a better future for everyone is falling apart — and it’s about time!

As I wrote in Time a few months ago, we need to realize he hasn’t just taken a bad turn in the past few months. He’s always been selling us a lie, and nothing shows that better than his fake transport projects that distracted from real solutions.

His downfall can’t come soon enough.

✨Have you ever seen a bird fly without its head moving?

The Eurasian Kestrel has a natural ability to stabilize its head, allowing it to stay focused on its prey as it moves. 🪶

Look at this slow-motion close-up of a kestrel hovering.

"Nature has been publishing curiosity-driven research for more than 150 years, and readers will not need convincing of the work’s value. But we implore colleagues in the wider science ecosystem — the policymakers and those in science-funding agencies who expect to see direct benefits of research investments — to resist the temptation to push for quick returns.

All roads lead to Rome. Meet the earliest known European map with a scale: This woodcut "south up" map by Erhard Etzlaub offers a route to Rome - located on the top of the map - through early modern German speaking Europe. The map was printed as a single-sheet item, and was made in Nuremberg for the Holy Year 1500.

Etzlaub wanted his "Rom-Weg" map to be bought, so he offered colored versions too, like the one you see, because these were more expensive.
