Irving Geis, born Oct 18, 1908, was a gifted artist who helped illuminate structural biology with his iconic images of DNA, hemoglobin, and other important macromolecules Explore his digital archive, created with permission from HHMI, at PDB-101
We did a lot of educational hematology visual storytelling last year which was pretty cool: visual-science.com/projects/14-...
Today is this kind of day: www.instagram.com/reel/DcYArFR... With the addition of "we asked Gemini how it would improve your design". FML.
Very promising company, it was really nice working with them.
Each year, we highlight companies that received sizeable early-stage funding in the previous year. Trogenix's platform for generating ‘synthetic super-enhancers’ could drive highly cell-specific gene therapy-based treatment of solid tumors such as glioblastoma www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Recent Science Magazine covers look great. I googled the artist behind them yesterday, and their works, are truly amazing: riokahayama.com
Nice to see how much well-deserved attention daraxonrasib receives at ASCO. I remember it as a small 3D model file called RMC-6236.
Oncologists and researchers at the ASCO 2026 conference give a standing ovation after the experimental drug daraxonrasib nearly doubles survival in a metastatic pancreatic cancer trial! #AGoodPlace Source: www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsi...

It's the first video evidence of polar bears hunting and eating reindeer—something that had long been assumed, but never clearly seen. Learn more: https://scim.ag/4s0hU6P #ScienceMagArchives

A fired public-health official, a mosquito breeder and a baby with a smile seen around the world. These are just a few of the people who shaped science this year and were chosen for Nature’s 10. 🧪
This is so cool. Sperm whales are probably the most amaizing animals on Earth.
I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)
Have to admit, even brilliant Western actors are not very good in expressing what is called a "resting slavic face".
"Performance-wise, Jude Law is a surprisingly effective Putin, getting the President’s pout to perfection, and giving him a slightly abrasive Estuary English accent." 🤔 deadline.com/2025/08/wiza...
What a great reference for 3D modeling.
I might be a bit obsessed with blood vessels in the brain 🤓! Aren't they pretty? And check the red blood cells inside the small ones! Is it okay if I keep advertising our call for papers using more images of blood vessels in the brain? 😜🔬 #dementia #WomenInStem With @natureportfolio.nature.com
While I agree that the pups aren't true dire wolves, I still find this to be exciting and interesting news. I enjoyed working with the Colossal team on the short animations, which they featured on their website and in the video about the project.
Does Colossal Biosciences dire wolf creation justify its $10B+ valuation?

I cried when I first listened to Khlyvnyuk singing this song. A man of amazing talent and courage. I was a fan of his band Boombox some 15 years ago. The Kiffness is ok, but I wouldn’t put it as the song released by him. He just rode the wave of the moment. The tragic and horrible moment.
This absolute banger of a song was now released more than 3 years ago by The Kiffness. youtu.be/lu8m5FA2nL8?...
Today I learned that a newly discovered snake species was named after my friend and former university classmate, Nick Poyarkov. Welcome, Lycodon poyarkovi sp. nov. novataxa.blogspot.com/2025/01/lyco...
