None of this year's science Nobel Prizes have gone to women.
The number of these prizes to go to women remains at 27 out of more than 600.

In a study of microplastics in ocean-floor sediments off the coast of Puerto Rico, Kam-biu Liu @LSU_CCE and others found:
🧃 microplastics in layers dating back to 1950
🧃 heavier microplastics in more recent layers
🧃 Hurricanes leave more deposits

Where did #Pluto get those clustered pits that look suspiciously like gas pockmarks?
@LSU researchers from @LSUplanetary have some possible answers! 💨

Why is #sleep so important to #memory consolidation? What impact does sleep loss have on your brain and your memories? Dr. Juhee Haam in the @LSU College of Science answers these questions and more in our latest Research Insight!

ALT How sleep boosts memory: Hippocampus replays waking activity in bursts. Entorhinal cortex moves memories into long-term. Slow waves make the neocortex more receptive to information.

This is your brain on... fiber! 🍎
Researchers at @LSUHealthNO are studying how dietary fibers can promote healthy gut microbes that lower brain inflammation in Alzheimer's disease and restore healthy functioning of microglia (brain cells).
What would YOUR microglia look like?
ALT Three images of microglia: the first is large and well branched, from a healthy brain. The next is small and has lost its branches, in a brain with dementia. The next has restored branching, from a brain with dementia but where the host (a mouse) ate a high fiber diet.

So awesome to have Dr Paige Jarreau @FromTheLabBench here at UNR to talk with students this week about #SciComm! Looking forward to a faculty talk tomorrow and “Art of Science Communication” workshop for creating science comics on Thurs. More info via @HitchScienceUNR!
Dr. Paige Jarreau, @FromTheLabBench, explained in today's @RSJNevada workshop that science writers should collaborate because "Teamwork makes the dream work." Partner with artists, designers, tech creators, filmmakers, and other creatives. 🧪🎨
Here are some workshop highlights!
