When we count the amount of airborne pollen(and other stuff) in the air, we need to make sure our equipment is running ship shape. Here, I'm checking that the flow rate of our pollen trap is running at 10L/min. About the same amount that you will breathe in 1min too! #scicomm. 👍

“Every cell in a woman’s body produces Xist. But for several decades, we’ve used a male cell line as the standard of reference. (…) So, all of a female patient’s anti-Xist-complex antibodies —a huge source of women’s autoimmune susceptibility —go unseen.» med.stanford.edu/news/all-ne…

Dear @AlboMP @BowenChris & @Tanya_Plibersek, Earth is in deep trouble. The signs are terrifyingly clear, they have been for quite some time. Urgent warnings from climate scientists have been ignored. What are you going to do? What will your legacy be? abc.net.au/news/2023-07-27/j…

When you continue to platform climate change denialists, bigots, and just general fools and wreckers, and you pass it off as informative, light entertainment, *you* are absolutely a major part of the dire problem we now find ourselves in.

(1/4) Did you know that there are bacteria in human tumors? Well, this is old news now 😊. Our new study, featured on the cover of @CellCellPress, shows that human tumors contain fungi as well and that tumor fungi matter! (Cover by @munafomarzia) cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…
