Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Today we celebrate all our #womeninscience who are creating new materials for a better world #womeninstem #girlsinstem #academicsky

Let's learn some surprising things about hummingbird tongues. First, as you can see, their tongues are forked & feathery, highly specialized for lapping up their liquid diet of nectar. But it gets weirder up close!

✨ Microscopy Mystery Monday #13 – Answer! ✨ Tiny water droplets naturally form perfect spheres. If droplets look too perfectly round and evenly sized, you’re often looking at physics doing its thing. Stay tuned for the next MMM! 🔬🕵️ #AcademicSky

✨ Microscopy Mystery Monday #11 – Answer! ✨ The tiny hairs on Frauenmantel leaves, together with a wrinkled micro-surface, trap air and make the leaf extremely water-repellent — that’s why droplets sit on top instead of soaking in!

Hot off the press! Our latest paper led by @fernpizza.bsky.social, understanding how plasmids evolve inside cells. These small, self-replicating DNA circles live inside bacteria and carry antibiotic resistance genes, but also compete with one another to replicate. 1/ www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Intracellular competition shapes plasmid population dynamics

From populations of multicellular organisms to selfish genetic elements, conflicts between levels of biological organization are central to evolution. Plasmids are extrachromosomal, self-replicating g...
