Scientists find thousands of earthquakes in a perfectly straight line in Alaska, revealing a hidden 'microplate'
Tiny earthquakes that emerge in a strikingly linear pattern revealed the Yakutat microplate, which may be focusing volcano and earthquake activity.

The Yakutat microplate is crammed in Alaska's tectonic armpit. Using earthquakes to image it, a recent study showed that this microplate is larger than we thought.

MBIDP and MD/PhD students stopped by the lab for a lab skills scavenger hunt where they had to determine how much a microplate would weigh if it spelled UCLA. Several groups were both accurate pipettors and creative! #gobruins

Interesting--an event at the triple junction between the Cocos, Nazca, and Caribbean (Panama microplate) plates.
Not sure which fault/plate boundary this happened on. The Cocos plate subducts beneath the Caribbean here, while the boundary between the Cocos-Nazca and Nazca-Caribbean are strike-slip.

If anyone has a moment to spare, could you tell me the brand and/or catalog number of 24well microplate you use in your lab? I'm trying to design around a universal consensus of well position. Thanks!

Dear Blueskye-verse, I have a question:
We are about to buy a new 96-well microplate-reader that we want to use for measuring OD and fluorescence in long-term-cultivation experiments inside the platereader (to e.g. measure growth rate). Which instruments/ brand can you recommend?

I've found that the Zoom auto transcription really struggles with Alaska place names. Shumagin Gap (part of the AK subduction zone) became Shoe Megan Gap. Yakutat block (a microplate colliding with southern AK) became Yak Attack block. I liked the imagery of that one.
