This is the BlyeSky account of the Night Science Institute - night-science.org - which champions a cultural shift in science by training researchers to embrace the creative Night Science process as an essential complement to rigorous hypothesis testing.
Excited to talk today at 10am EST/3pm CET in the Night Science Seminar Series: "How optimal protein production led to understanding bacterial genome organization" –emphasizing the creative process along a tree of projects:

Join us today for the first session of our #BookClub on the 1st three chapters of the Knowledge Machine where Dr. Strevens sets the scene for his Iron Rule. Are scientists purely rational? How does science really work? Bring your curiosity! Info and calendar link: night-science.org/home/learn/b...
Check out @cassyni.bsky.social seminar Mechanisms of cellular plasticity presented by @itaiyanai.bsky.social
Great talk about how cells evade chemo with stepwise reprogramming of their transcriptional repertoire -fascinating, and profound implications for therapy!

'Both competition and cooperation' – that is an underlying principle of how Google designed its "AI co-scientist" platform to generate ideas and think like a scientist. We talk with the leaders of this project on the latest episode of the Night Science Podcast. @nightsciencepod.bsky.social

Very cool to see the ideas in Night Science resonate with people! #science #creativity #research
Some say you either have "it" or you don't, and that creativity cannot be learned, but that really misses the point. Creativity is lost in the wrong environment. We need to recognize the "night science" aspect of our work and that we need to nurture it in our training. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
#NightScience merch has dropped! We have tees, a hat, a mug, some stickers - show your Night Science pride and support the Institutes mission at the same time! Don't be the last one in your lab ... 😊

Can #creativity be learnt? A Nature Careers feature on Night Science featuring our Founders @itaiyanai.bsky.social and @martinlercher.bsky.social investigates this issue at the heart of #NightScience

"Itai Yanai, a systems biologist at New York University [..] and a conference co-organizer, explained his research to a co-opted 16-year-old. As he did so, volunteers from the audience posed onstage as ‘genes’, imitating being turned on and off by waving their arms when tapped." Thank you Josie!
Small donations to the AACR added up to something big for early-career researcher Madelyn Espinosa-Cotton, PhD. During #SarcomaAwarenessMonth, learn how an #AACRGrants enabled her to study a rare and aggressive type of sarcoma. buff.ly/6WJk6UC
A cool article in Nature about Night Science at Woodstock Bio2 with @itaiyanai.bsky.social - check it out! Focused on #collaboration and #creativity in #science!

Ever heard a #scientist telling a #story like a Moth story slam? Well - look no further than the Making Waves event by @transom.bsky.social that took place a few weeks ago. It was incredibly fun and now you can watch or listen to the stories here: transom.org/2025/making-...
