#Nanobiology imaging with molecular resolution. The kicker? This is a sample from a rain puddle imaged on a $60k #AFM in my basement at the time. The image: one of two flagella emanating from a protist cell. The striations on the flagellum are approximately 1 nm tall.

Postdoctoral students, graduate students and other junior scientists in large research groups are more likely to drop out of academia than are their peers in smaller groups, says a study of more than one million early-career researchers.
