Cell biology is producing mountains of microscopy data, usually a given paper got that data for some purpose, but what if you could find relevant data that you could use to answer your own questions? in her new preprint, @marymirvis.bsky.social develops Systematic Review methods to do just that

New(ish) preprint! 📰What whole-cell patterns emerge from the arrangement, morphologies, and interactions of organelles in the 3D space of the cell? What would we see if we could gather ALL the whole-cell reconstruction data that's out there in one place? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Scientists are now organizing events, called Stand Up for Science, on 7 March in Washington, D.C., and state capitals.

So far, they have attracted more than 100 volunteers from some 30 states who are hoping to rally support for research as a public good. scim.ag/4328LAD

‘I really wanted something to happen.’ The students behind the Stand Up for Science protests

New group hopes to turn out researchers for 7 March demonstrations against Trump administration policies

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Teen Vogue know what’s up

Teen Vogue @teenvogue.com · Jan 21

As the transgender community continues to fight for civil rights in the U.S., one of the most common arguments against progress is that transgender people are a recent phenomenon.

But it’s a fight that’s been happening here for decades and around the world for centuries. ⤵️

People Have Had Non-Binary Genders for Thousands of Years

It's nothing new.

Oh. Trump has been in office one day and is making a terrifying statement on how he is going to run things. Especially on science and gender rights. Urgh. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

What Trump’s flurry of executive orders means for science

The new president signed decrees designed to shift the US government’s stance on climate and public health.

There’s a stain on the stairs at my work. I’ve been there for years and it’s always been there. It always makes me think of Freddy Mercury!!
