That's a wrap on Field Trips! We had such a great time showing you around. ⁠ ⁠ Special thanks to @brandeisuniversity.bsky.social, @broadinstitute.org, and @bostonchildrens.bsky.social with @sofishtication.bsky.social & @tangledbankhhmi.bsky.social

The final stop on our Field Trips Tour is Dr. Beth Stevens’s lab at Boston Children’s Hospital. Fun fact: the Stevens Lab is bigger than some entire university departments, and is spread across Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard, and MIT! youtu.be/ZVt3t5zmvT8?...

With a lab so big, Dr. Stevens’s team must be working on something huge! That’s why we’re bringing you to the Stevens Lab to check it out! with @sofishtication.bsky.social and @tangledbankhhmi.bsky.social

First stop on our Field Trip tour is Dr. Feng Zhang's lab at the Broad Institute. You may already be familiar with Dr. Zhang’s work if you’ve ever heard of CRISPR… but how do you follow up a hit like that? That’s a story big enough to tell in person. youtu.be/_UimlaolxiA?...

Join us at Brandeis University to visit Dr. Hannah Yevick’s Lab, where the focus is on billions of individual cells that fused together to become one super cell spanning 13 square meters! That’s the kind of thing you want to see for yourself.

When Hannah Yevick learned that the placenta contained a cell whose surface spanned 13 square meters, the biophysicist was fascinated. For this episode of @scishow.bsky.social Field Trips, we traveled to Yevick's lab to learn about the largest cell in the human body. youtube.com/watch?v=RuN5HxSew7w

Introducing: SciShow Field Trips! A brand-new series created by Complexly in partnership with @tangledbankhhmi.bsky.social. All week, we're taking you OUT of the studio and INTO real working labs around Boston. Hosted by @sofishtication.bsky.social, at youtube.com/scishow

Come see me tap about my research CV with my advisor at this virtual live even on January 28th!

Did you know the largest fish in the ocean eat the smallest things? Join us for more insights into ocean predators at #OceanEncounters on Jan. 28 with WHOI biologists Camrin Braun & @sofishtication.bsky.social 👉 Register for this virtual live event (w/ ASL interpretation): go.whoi.edu/predators

There’s a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses for murdering Renee Good. This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it. A thread on how to do that 🧵

Choose your shark 🦈

Dear people who design bathroom stalls, 1- please design the stalls with the doors swinging OUT rather than in 2- if you’re going to swing the doors in, the stall should at least be big enough for me ti enter the stall and close the door without my legs touching the toilet. That’s nasty. Thanks.

Nephew LOVES doing scicomm videos with me! Merry Christmas Eve, friends!

What do you think hurts more, a shock from these guys or a shock from a Costco shopping cart??

These guys would be perfect as the star on top of your Christmas tree! Assuming your house was lit by black lights lol. Happy day 52 of fishmas everyone!
