My labmate did her qualifying exam while pregnant and with kidney stones. Academia regularly puts that kind of pressure to keep going no matter the cost.

I scrolled through this whole thread looking for any show that gets lab science anything like right (not physics, chem or bio) and there’s NOTHING.
Show writers, there’s some real promise and drama here. Hire me and I’ll tell you all about The Mysterious Noise, The Empty Bottle, The Asshole Labmate

Bacteria exhibit astonishing genetic diversity, but where do new genes come from?
My best friend Arya Kaul (/labmate in the @baym lab) investigates how advantageous deletions can spawn new genes - "deletion-born fusions." 🧵:

My labmate at work does this - her only source of entertainment is AI generated 10 minute long soap operas. It's all just incoherent slop
Get into a Lyft
The driver is clearly listening to an AI audiobook
Driver proceeds to explain it's an audiobook adaptation of a 20 year running manga
Google it when I get back, it's entirely AI generated slop and isn't based on anything

Flavouring behaviour is incredibly rare in animals, and there is almost no data on it!

Oh hey, my terf labmate has signed it. That'll be a fun new conversation-starter
Amazing to see the list of academics who have signed the pro-Cofnas letter, in that every time you think, hmm, I bet that arsehole signed the pro-Cofnas letter, it turns out they actually did

Nice piece form my former @uwmadison.bsky.social @monicagturner.bsky.social labmate Allison Stegner highlighting the waste of taxpayer resources when publicly funded research goes unfinished
Dr. M. Allison Stegner — granddaughter of writer Wallace Stegner — is an ecologist who worked for the U.S. Geological Survey in Moab, until the Trump/Musk layoffs. Here's what she wrote about what happened.
Voices: I lost my job because of Trump’s mass layoffs. What are Utah’s political leaders doing to stand up for people like me?
“Now, rather than paying income taxes in Utah and continuing to work sustaining the health of the federal lands that fuel Utah’s economy, I am applying for unemployment in Utah,” writes Dr. M. Allison Stegner in an op-ed. “How does that benefit taxpayers?”
