Honored to have a photo on the cover of Current Biology!
The cover of a scentific journal "Current Biology, a Cell Press Journal" from December 2025, showing a yellowish weevil with an insanely long snout standing atop a brown, spiky, open chestnut seed pod, on a pure white background.

Can I just do a new policy? When Multi-Factor-Authentication logs me out in the middle of my work, that means I'm done for the day.

Frog eye, frog eye. Can I have a confocal microscope to play on for 12 hrs a day again please? 👉👈🥺 🐸
An image of a whole frog eye that has been labelled with a photoreceptor marker (cyan) and a nuclear marker (orange). The retinal is the striped tissue and the lens is the large round tissue with the orange interior. You can also see the optic nerve at the top middle of the picture (12:00).

ROS heal the cricket leg

This Research Highlight showcases the work from Misa Okumura-Hirono, Tetsuya Bando and colleagues
journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...
Wound healing, cell proliferation and gene expression in third instar nymphs at 2 dpa. (A) Image of a two-spotted cricket Gryllus bimaculatus third-instar nymph and diagram of the leg, showing the site of amputation. The leg of the cricket is divided into six parts: coxa, trochanter, femur, tibia, tarsus and claw. To induce leg regeneration, we amputated the tibia. (B) H-E-stained sections of PBS-lipo- and Clo-lipo-treated regenerating legs at 2 dpa. Plasmatocytes were visualised by India ink incorporation. cu, cuticle; epi, epidermis; mu, muscle; so, subgenual organ; tr, trachea; we, wound epidermis. Images are representative of ten samples. (C) Fluorescence microscopy images of the EdU incorporation assay in PBS-lipo- and Clo-lipo-treated regenerating legs at 2 dpa. EdU-incorporating S-phase nuclei are shown in magenta and all nuclei (stained with Hoechst 33342) are shown in blue. Scale bars: 200 µm (B,C). (D) The ratios of proliferating cell nuclei of PBS-lipo- and Clo-lipo-treated regenerating legs are shown in box plots. ***P<0.001 (unpaired, two-tailed Student's t-test between PBS-lipo- and Clo-lipo-treated regenerating legs). n=4. (E) Schematic of Gryllus Duox and Nox5 proteins. Double-headed arrows and red lines indicate regions for dsRNA and qPCR amplicons, respectively. (F) Relative expression levels of Duox and Nox5 transcripts in PBS-lipo- and Clo-lipo-treated regenerating legs at 2 dpa, as revealed by qPCR. The y-axis indicates normalised expression after PBS-lipo-treatment and relative expression levels after Clo-lipo-treatment. ***P<0.001 (unpaired, two-tailed Student's t-test between PBS-lipo- and Clo-lipo-treated regenerating legs); n.s., not significant. n=8.

Attempt number seven at uploading this video of intermediate filaments in an enormous COS7 cell. I have a feeling the BlueSky compression will not do it any favors.
