By the way, we're hiring at Biohub. Come hang out with us if you want to work on frontier AI or biology. We have thousands of GPUs, petabytes of data (biology is increasingly an engineering problem!) and billions of cells to image!

Exciting time!🔬🔬🔬 My lab has started the week-long hands-on Quantitative Microscopy Workshop from today. We have 10-15 graduate students from 5-6 labs of UBC Botany @UBCBotany are participating the workshop this summer. Each of my grad students are leading at least one session on your expertise area.

१/३ हे आलेख हवाई (USA) येथील मौना लोआ वेधशाळेत मोजल्या गेलेल्या कार्बन डायऑक्साइडची मासिक सरासरी दर्शवतात. मौना लोआ येथील कार्बन डायऑक्साइडची (CO2) ही आकडेवारी वातावरणातील CO2 च्या प्रत्यक्ष मोजमापांचा सर्वात दीर्घकालीन विक्रम (नोंद) ठरते.

२/३ या मोजमापांची सुरुवात मार्च १९५८ मध्ये 'स्क्रिप्स इन्स्टिट्यूशन ऑफ ओशनोग्राफी'च्या सी. डेव्हिड कीलिंग यांनी, 'नॅशनल ओशनिक अँड ॲटमॉस्फेरिक ॲडमिनिस्ट्रेशन'च्या (NOAA) एका केंद्रावर केली होती [कीलिंग, १९७६].

३/३ NOAA ने मे १९७४ मध्ये स्वतःची CO2 मोजमापे सुरू केली; आणि तेव्हापासून ही मोजमापे स्क्रिप्सने केलेल्या मोजमापांच्या समांतरपणे सुरू आहेत [थोनिंग, १९८९].

In praise of new model organisms
What started as weird, unknown organisms became tools for the field. Establishing new models; creating community. #multicellularity #ichthyosporeans #protists @IBE_Barcelona @the_prbb @icreacommunity @CSIC @CSICdivulga @CSICCat

This mesmerizing timelapse captures the nonstop motion inside an animal cell. Moving red/orange streaks are the growing ends of microtubules, tiny “highways” that move proteins & other molecules within the cell. 📸: Andy Moore, HHMI’s Janelia Research Campus

Bacteria move around using a molecular machine called the flagellar motor that rotates faster than the flywheel of a race car engine and switches directions in an instant. After 50 yrs, scientists have finally figured out how it works. “My lifelong quest is now fulfilled.” Link⤵️
