New album is out now on vinyl in your local fine record shop like @SonicBoomMusic! great work on this window display 👏

A vertebrate and an invertebrate. 500+ millions of years of evolutionary distance.

the existence of "experts" is a myth the fact that certain skills are "deep" is a meme. you can learn anything in one or two weeks. the only thing that exists is depth

Our latest paper @NatureMicrobiol: converting waste into delicious food using fungi. We studied a traditional Indonesian food and discovered a mold domesticated for waste-to-food conversion. Amazing international collab involving scientists, chefs. tinyurl.com/36rzkr57

AI can be used to make convincing looking fake data. There is no way we can distinguish real from fake anymore. It is safe to assume that genAI has already resulted in many fake papers. Scientific publishing is not prepared for this.

Our short report on a remarkable feature of #ctenophores out now: Reverse development in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis. We show that Mnemiopsis is capable of reversal from mature lobate to early cydippid🤩. @MSarsCentre @UiB @biorxivpreprint #rejuvenation biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

im supportive of everyone having a hobby but there is no cool way to smoke a cigar. it always looks really dumb I'm sorry

Very excited to share that our work identifying a new factor that works with MICOS to establish mitochondrial cristae architecture is now out @CurrentBiology! cell.com/current-biology/ful…

What's more convincing? p = 0.04 in a sample of 10 or p = 0.04 in a sample of 1,000,000? 🧵

Time to ditch @BioRender? I had no idea they were claiming copyright to the figures we make with it, even after we pay for use of the service.

Alright everybody, what will undoubtedly forever be the lab's strangest discovery is now out in Nature. It's a protein that evolved to self-assemble into a Sierpinski fractal. nature.com/articles/s41586-0… 1/n

Happy and super excited to share our discovery of a protein fractal! We unravel the surprisingly simple emergence of these marvellous structures and show it might have even been an accident of evolution. Read the full story here nature.com/articles/s41586-0… Or just stick around 🧵

Are #choanoflagellates, #filastereans, #ichthyosporeans & #corallochytreans truly the best models for exploring animal origins? While these lineages have been so far pivotal to address the origin of animals (and they surely will continue to be!!), eDNA has revealed that there are at least 8 additional, unknown, lineages closely related to animals. Yes. 8! Could these mysterious relatives offer further, or even deeper, insights into animal evolution? Each known lineage has already provided crucial insights—imagine what these hidden ones could reveal about the transition to #multicellularity! We embark on a journey to bring these unknown lineages to light. The quest begins now!

🧵 (1/6) Two years ago, when I only started digging into the current state of aging research, I was much more optimistic about our progress. I read articles like Laura Deming's Longevity FAQ, which lists "95 things that make mice live longer", and thought: "Well, at least we have something that works for mice, right?" Boy, I was naive! Well, below is a list of findings that made me think we have almost nothing that reliably works on mice. The Longevity FAQ post: ldeming.com/longevityfaq#95t….
