Quick thinking having a tablecloth handy. I didn’t even notice the twitching from that dead robot.

If you've played a new Elder Scrolls game anytime since 2002, you've seen Christiane Meister's work: The senior character artist spent 27 years at Bethesda, contributing to games from Morrowind to Skyrim. As of this week's round of Xbox layoffs, however, her tenure is over. #pcgamer #pcgaming

So, I’m a bench scientist and I’ve been handling spatial transcriptomics for about five years now. These last two years our lab has expanded my instruments and only recently, like last week, have I finally decided on a naming convention. Figured I’d show them off.

I have dubbed this instrument Lil’ Jon. It’s a little slower than the other two.This instrument is my OG instrument. I was going to name it ODB but imma just name it Wu-Tang after all of the clan. It’s a solid instrument that is certainly for the children! 💜🥰This instrument keeps breaking down and causing problems. I named it P. Diddy because it is my problem child.

A travesty. Springer Nature offloads SciAm—the most storied science magazine in the US—onto a content mill consortium, LabX, during an almost certainly successful union vote. LabX now says it will lay off 15 people, over 1/3rd of the unit and 60% of the bargaining committee. Pure union busting.

Happy Juneteenth, Massachusetts! Today is all about honoring Black joy, Black resilience, and Black resistance. As the first Black woman elected statewide, I am inspired by our ancestors every day as I work in community to build a truly equitable future.

I caught some more fish today. Brought my hubby with me and he said that apparently I cast Summon Nature and it was Super Effective! Not pictured was my heron friend who I like to feed and today we had a pair of geese hang with us too. Oh and a frog fled my immediate area when he saw me!

A largemouth bass! Yay! I caught a bass!A big ole bluegill being held by me. I am wearing my blue fishing gloves.Another large bluegill.Another snapping turtle friend who came to visit me.
