Klimt’s “Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer” is astounding up close, at @NeueGalerieNY. But I can’t stop seeing cells migrating in the ventricular zone looking at her dress!

Hi, I'm new to mastodon. I'm a scientist at Atomwise (SF), working in AI drug discovery. I was a former professor at Kansas State Univ and Univ Hawaii.

I’m afraid I’m not a fan of real life fireworks, so here’s my kind of pretty sparkly things to wish you all a fulfilling 2023. Xx Licmophora sp. diatoms.

'Within months, hundreds of ACT UPers were surrounding his building at the N.I.H., and I was the first one arrested, after climbing onto its portico. Cops wrestled me down, bound my hands behind me with a zip tie, then hauled me through the building to a police van. The burly cop pulling my shoulder was dumbfounded when a familiar short man in a white lab coat walking toward us down the hallway yelled, “Peter, are you all right?” Laughing, I replied, “I’m fine. Just doing my job. How about you, Tony?”

"A better understanding of the strong interplay between the various parameters at play in a single glass of bubbly has been the subject of study for about two decades. After a short overview of the history of champagne and sparkling wines, this tutorial review presents the key steps involved in the traditional method leading to the production of premium sparkling wines that are supersaturated with dissolved CO2 after refermenting the blends of still base wines in sealed bottles."

We are here now too. What to do next? Please follow https://mstdn.science/@CytokineSociety. The ICIS is the premier organization promoting the field of cytokine biology across many different research disciplines at a time when cytokine biology, cytokine biomarkers and cytokine therapeutics are revolutionizing modern medicine, providing novel treatments for a wide variety of diseases ranging from lethal inflammatory, autoimmune and allergic diseases, to viral infections and cancer.

Japanese folklore tells of seven lucky gods who travel in the magical ship 'Takarabune' each new year. They sail from heaven visiting humans to distribute gifts of good luck and happiness to those who have strived to live good lives.

This is why Count Rugen was so demanding
“Yet in one key respect, Kennan’s diaries proved unrevealing. Like many people, Kennan journaled less when he was busy, and there is virtually nothing of consequence from 1946 or 1947, when he wrote the two documents on which his influence rested and when he began to reconsider fundamental assumptions about the nature of the Soviet challenge and the preferred American response. For the entirety of 1947, arguably the pivotal year of both the early Cold War and Kennan’s career, there is but a single entry: a one-page rhyme.”

After a pause due to the holiday and moving disruption, I’ve updated the list of Earth Science folks on Mastodon - anyone who has submitted their details in the past couple of weeks should now show up.
https://all-geo.org/mastodon-earthsci/
We’re up to 320+ names - I’m wondering if I need to add some organisation/filtering to make it manageable.
If you’d like to add yourself (and haven’t already) go to:
'Viruses also affect ecosystem processes, however, by lysing microbes and causing the release of nutrients (i.e., the viral shunt) and through the indirect consequences of host mortality (1, 2). Both of these research domains place viruses as the top “predator” in their food chains, but like most predators, viruses also can serve as food.'
@ewanbirney we had an interesting conversation on the biological role of the fusion/fission cycle in #mitochondria with Orian Shirihai this summer on the #EMBOPodcast
It's about the Twig et al @embojournal paper that Nguyen & Voeltz cite in the opening of this @eLife piece:
"Cells maintain a characteristic mitochondrial architecture important for cellular metabolism and function. Mitochondria maintain their overall architecture and morphology by undergoing cycles of fission and fusion (Friedman et al., 2010; Twig et al., 2008; Youle and van der Bliek, 2012)."

This is a great paper. A reminder - eukaryotes (cells with a nucleus) are a partnership between some likely motile predator cell and radical new "toxin exploiting" bacteria that not only could tolerate this new harsh chemical, molecular oxygen, in earth's atmophere, but use it.
