Alter. 21627 Einreichungen auf ein Fellowship-Programm. Wer soll das alles begutachten? 😶🌫️ Wer jetzt nicht für mehr Grundförderung und weniger Drittmittel argumentiert, der ist doch nicht gescheit.

Nice campaign by the Norwegian Consumer Council about the declining lifespan of products. Enjoy!

Bioinformatics is not just about coding—it’s about clarity.
The clearer the question, the better the answer.
And that only comes from talking.

I put a new power supply into the old case (thanks, Philipp!) and installed a fresh copy of #Ubuntu 26.04.1. First, install #Steam and be happy. This hardware is about 12 years old and works for older games and office tasks, but not with Win11. Nothing more to say. #Linux @steampowered.com 👍😍🎮🐧🦝
Today, my desktop PC decided to die with a loud bang 🖥️😱 On the other hand, yeah, new computer hardware! 😍🛍️🛒🪛

An unplanned dentist trip meant our favorite coworker got roped into helping out in the lab today... so the whole office team ended up in the lab together for the first and maybe last time! 😂🦷🔬 #OfficeLife #TeamWork #LabDay

The first results of our experiment demonstrate the successful application of the Miles & Misra dilution method from 1938, showing how classic techniques remain effective. 🚀🔬 #ScientificDiscovery #Microbiology

Stepping out from behind the screen! As a #bioinformatician, I usually work exclusively at the PC. Today was my first solo run in the lab since 2022. I was definitely nervous, but excited to be part of this experimental series! 🧪💻 #Bioinformatics #LabLife

Spotted in the wild: a bioinformatician outside her natural habitat. 🖥️➡️🧪 Day 2 in the lab and more to come... No errors thrown yet, but I miss my terminal. Collaborating with my colleague to produce the data I'll later judge. Future me is already grateful. 😅 #Bioinformatics #LabLife

We are pleased to inform you that there are some cute little #baby scorpions. Just look at these tiny chelate pedipalps! 😍🦂

From feed to field: substrate-specific black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) frass profiles modulate soil microbiota and tomato performance - Plant and Soil
Background and aims Insect frass, a by-product of insect farming, consists of larval faeces, insect remains, and residual feed. It contains agronomically important nutrients and diverse microbiota, ma...

Want to know how snake venom changes with age? Our new paper on Macrovipera schweizeri shows: juvenile venom is SVMP-rich with higher protease and PLA₂ activity, adult venom is dominated by C-type lectins, yet both show comparable cytotoxicity in cell assays. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🐍📝

Doing a linear stretch on these images shows how dramatic the "edits" were, revealing the deception in clear terms.
This should be a complete scandal for Thermo Fisher and more people in the biosciences should be talking about it.

The Thermo Fisher situation keeps getting worse. We've now collected 450+ problematic images presented as verification data in TF's antibody catalog. This includes:
🖌️ Dozens more images with duplications or painting
🖨️ Hundreds of blots that all share the same background (behold slideshow below)

How much of Thermo Fisher’s antibody data has been manipulated?
We’ve documented more than 450 instances of apparent data manipulation in Thermo’s catalog
