Look at these gorgeous, dynamic, orange mitochondria surrounding the blue nucleus.
A view of life from beneath a cell monolayer in a parti dish. Whatever angle you look at it, life is always dynamic and pretty special.

We’re looking to attract the world’s best and brightest researchers and graduate students!
Canada is home to world-class institutions and offers clear pathways for international students to pursue master’s and doctoral degrees.
From January to June 2026, graduate students accounted for 21% of new study permits issued, compared to 12% during the same period last year.
Why pursue a graduate degree in Canada?
• Simpler processing for most graduate degree students
• Faster timeline - 2 weeks for doctoral student applications
• Opportunities to work in Canada after you graduate

Le nom du lac Ontario tire son origine du mot wendat « Ontari’io », qui signifie « le lac est beau, le lac est grand ».
Ce nom remonte à plus de 400 ans, bien avant la Confédération canadienne et la Déclaration d’indépendance des États-Unis d’Amérique.
Nous savons que les États-Unis sont en train de changer. Leurs relations commerciales, leur politique étrangère, leurs monuments nationaux, leurs hydronymes.
Les Canadiennes et les Canadiens savent aussi qu’il faut appeler les choses par leur nom, et ce lac se nomme Lac Ontario – aujourd’hui et pour toujours.

Os anti-vacinas adoram falar que as vacinas da COVID causam problemas cardíacos.
E sim, uma delas realmente causa:
Vacinas mRNA, como a da Pfizer, aumentam o risco de uma miocardite.
Mas tem um "detalhe" nessa história que os anti-vacinas nunca te contaram

A study of 4.5 million people suggests that ex-smokers who take up vaping are more at risk of dying from lung cancer than people who quit without the use of e-cigarettes newscientist.com/article/252…
