What's better than publishing a paper? Publishing it next to another paper from your former postdoc's lab. Congratulations, @mdlmata & Team! Full stories on how miRNAs get degraded at doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkae094 & doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkae115 @NAR_Open @FMIscience

The courage of this woman scientist standing up for herself and for what's right reminds me of what Jennifer Doudna said when asked, by a female student, for career advice: "Walk into every room like you OWN THE PLACE." BRAVA! to this person and all #WomenInSTEM for doing so.

Neuroscientists have been able to peer into the brain of a sleeping octopus for the first time and find remarkable similarities to the way that humans and other vertebrates sleep. Read the @Nature paper: go.nature.com/3NALaOc

A thread for skeptics, minimizers & those wondering why it's a big deal: EVERY SINGLE woman in medicine/science has either been sexually harassed or knows someone who has been. The vast majority of incidents go unreported. Few of the incidents reported lead to consequences 1/6
