I found this immune cell (🔴) prying open the junction between the ectoderm cells from underneath. You can see its protrusions probing (yellow arrow) and threading through between the other cells before the whole cell body is squeezed through in 1 sweeping motion. So cool! #FluorescenceFriday

Although the world outside still feels grey and wintry, under the microscope the retina reveals a vibrant landscape of color.

Up close and personal with a branching neurite in a DIV2 hippocampal neuron expressing FTractin-GFP. This was imaged every 6 seconds over 10 minutes on the trusty @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social LSM880. Happy #FluorescenceFriday

for #fluorescencefriday we have the dance of blood vessels by @mind-western.bsky.social @shahrzadbahrampour.bsky.social @nadiahaghbinphd.bsky.social and Vladislav Novikov

Confocal micrograph of a mouse embryonic fibroblast with membrane labeled in blue, nuclei in yellow and cellular cytoplasm in red.

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Here is a mouse fibroblast with multiple thin membrane extensions reaching out toward its neighbors. The long (>10 um) extensions are a type of signaling filopodia called #cytonemes that transport signals like SHH, WNT, Notch, and GFs! 🔬 by Senior Scientist Hong Lin. 🧪 👩‍🔬

Mass Protests Urged Following Failed War Powers Act Vote in the Senate to Stop War in Iran "The American people will remember who voted to continue an illegal, unnecessary war," said one progressive advocate.

"On Wednesday, a War Powers Resolution vote in the U.S. Senate failed to garner enough votes to end the Trump administration's war on Iran."

"[M]ass demonstration for this weekend, in multiple U.S. cities, demanding an end to the war on Iran."

Summary of the Toxic Substances Control Act | US EPA The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires reporting, record-keeping and testing requirements, and restrictions relating to chemical substances and/or mixtures.

🧪 Here we go, the U.S. federal government shutdown (failure of Congress to engage it's collective wisdom and solve the myriad of problems facing our society) is likely to bring the TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act) program to a standstill.

What are we reading this week? #booksky

Exciting new black hole results today! 🔭🧪

Myself presenting a poster on 'Sea ice reconstruction and mapping for low and high CO2 climates'. This work is part of the EU Horizon project P2F, that aims to make optimal use of past climatic information to better understand Earth's response to forcings.

Polar beers event at the UK Arctic Science Conference, with a talk on creative science communication by Dr Amy MacFarlane.

Wylam Brewery, host venue, Newcastle.

The UK Arctic Science Conference.

Always fun to join another UK Arctic Science Conference, this time at @northumbriauni.bsky.social, presenting initial stages of palaeo sea ice reconstruction, synthesis and mapping, within the @horizoneu.bsky.social project Past2Future - towards fully palaeo-informed climate projections.

I am curious what relationships and organizations will be able to help build bridges the way ARCUS (Arctic Research Consortium of United States) did. Those of you out there aware of their work and legacy, join the call. #Arctic #NSF 🧪🧪

Applications open for this online Arctic Data Center training till Oct. 31. #Arctic #participatoryscience 🧪

Relevant #Arctic science and climate news; digitally available to anyone. 🧪

We're seeking volunteers for a community science project that aims to learn more about the marine organisms living along the Monmouth County coast through eDNA sampling. Participation is easy, requires no training, and only takes a few minutes. 🧪

An edited iNaturalist project page for ctenophore day 10/04/2025. In the about it says Celebrate ctenophore day by going out and finding ctenophores on October 4th, 2025! Can we get to 1004+ new ctenophore observations to celebrate? Are you ready for the Cteno Day Bioblitz? Join today! inaturalist.org.projects/ctenophore-day-2025

It’s almost Ctenophore Day! I set up a BioBlitz on @inaturalist.bsky.social to celebrate. Spread the word, and let’s see how many people we can get out looking for ctenos!
