Maybe include a coauthor that can pay, then you can say in the contribution section “paid for OA fee”?
I clicked to see if AOL,com was still a thing 😝 aol.com/elon-musk-picks-texa…

10/ With adaptive optical lattice light sheet microscopy (AO-LLSM), we’ve opened a stunningly beautiful and humblingly complex world of 4D subcellular processes viewed with high definition in living transparent multicellular organisms such as zebrafish.

It blows my mind that this can even exist. But one day, 1MB being this compact was unbelievable, and one day 2TB will be like nothing 🤯
I was acknowledged for helping test this system with my students. Is there anywhere that can or should go on my CV/Biosketch?
This "frugal CRISPR kit" costs about $2.
It includes a cell-free extract (no living cells), plasmids encoding colorful proteins, and Cas9 + guide RNAs.
Students express colorful proteins in the extract & then use CRISPR to cut the protein-coding genes, leading to loss of color.

It took more than a DECADE... but finally it’s published!!! It started as a CRAZY idea but after tons of hard work we built it: We hijacked the endogenous secretion systems of Toxoplasma gondii, a brain parasite, to deliver active proteins to neurons 👇

Need to beat the heat?
Webb has snapped a direct image of Epsilon Indi Ab: the coldest and most Jupiter-like exoplanet to be imaged so far. To make the discovery, Webb blocked out starlight (shown by the star symbol) with a mask called a coronagraph: go.nasa.gov/3SmQzvE
ALT This image shows the exoplanet Epsilon Indi Ab. The image is mostly black, with blue scale-like features apparent in the central region of the image. At the center of the image, there is a black circle, and in the center, a symbol representing a star. This black circle blocks the light from the host star. To the lower left of the circle is a fuzzy bright orange circle, which is the exoplanet.
A very nice gift for ky summer students! TY @PatriceBain1 for writing this handy guide!
Probably my favorite part.
Seriously, this is a short read and easy to reference when trying to implement for practicing certain things or reminders. My only reservation is that it says “parents guide” because I wish I had this when I was a young student. 🧑🎓 :-)
