was watching the 1994 version of Lassie, rated PG. Family movie right? So I was pretty surprised when right in the middle of the film someone just drops the f-slur

As an undergrad I did some reporter assays for miR-8. 15 years later I get an e-mail from my old advisor, Jennifer Kennell, saying a collaborator, Patrica Wittkopp, would like them for a publication. Just proves nothing we do in lab is ever without merit. academic.oup.com/genetics/adv...

TIL that the term Funny Animal Comics refers to the fact the comics were featured in newspaper comic Funny Pages, not that the animals were meant to be particularly funny or comical themselves
Out now! In collaboration with Hiroshi Nishimasu's lab, we uncover how a dual reverse transcriptase immune system builds double-stranded DNA from both RNA and protein templates. www.cell.com/cell/abstrac... Previous thread for the preprint: bsky.app/profile/ster...
Coordinated RNA- and protein-templated synthesis of double-stranded DNA by a dual reverse transcriptase immune system
Bacterial reverse transcriptases defend against viruses, yet how their DNA products stop infection remains unknown. Bacteriophage inhibition of a host recombination enzyme activates the DRT3 defense s...

@danacorn.bsky.social Q: Why didn't Ozy get in trouble for meditating in science class? A: When the teacher asked for the units of electric resistance, he chanted Ohm
@danacorn.bsky.social Assuming Ozy and Milo put on a middle school production of Charlottes Web, does this cast list seem accurate: Ozy-Charlotte, Milo-Wilbur, Felecia-Fern, Avery-Templeton

There is probably decent mileage to be gotten from a greek myth inspired parody of Sk8r Boi called Satyr Boy
@danacorn.bsky.social So is it Timulty, with his non-judgmental innocence and the high esteem (as all younger siblings have) for his big brother, who eventually "saves" Avery from himself and causes him to realize what he is looking but can't find?
Here's the article that was so important that no one read that the police were called in. Just saying.

After a month, I've finally finished my journey of voraciously reading all of Ozy and Millie by @danacorn.bsky.social. One of the best comic strips I've ever read, right up there with Calvin and Hobbes
@danacorn.bsky.social Can you tell me if this is accurate? On Corporate Pride Sponsors: Milo: "corporations are evil, smash" Ozy "Understands Milo's cynicism but appreciates what the trend means overall" Avery "brands acknowledging I'm cool for being me? This is the greatest thing ever"

1/9 New preprint from the Sternberg Lab in collaboration with the Nishimasu Lab! We uncover how the DRT3 antiphage immune system pairs two reverse transcriptases, one RNA-templated and one protein-templated, to build a double-stranded DNA effector. doi.org/10.64898/202...
@danacorn.bsky.social Finally started reading O&M from the beginning. Love it, but its painfully relevant despite being from the late 90s
I came here in 1975. I'm a Nobel Prize-winning scientist born in Germany during WWII, came here in 1975 thinking there was no way fascism could take hold in this country. I was wrong. I don't not want to be book-ended by two fascist regimes. We will stand up and set things right.
Kristian G. Andersen@kgandersen.bsky.social · 5mo agoChoice words from Dr. Szostak here. And while I am no Nobel Prize-winning scientist, I identify with the same quandary as an immigrant, moving here in 2009 and (proudly) becoming a citizen in 2023. I, too, don't recognize that country anymore 😢🇺🇸🧳🛫. newsletter.ofthebrave.org/p/im-a-nobel...
The idea that ballet isn't popular is kinda silly. Demon Slayer: Infinite Castle crushed at the box off because it was a tour de force of choreographed fluid movement of human bodies to music. That is the core of ballet right there
