The US (and Canada) has a lot to learn about rail infrastructure, a lot of catching up to do - maintenance, growth and modernization. This is scary stuff...

Hard to believe it’s almost 2 decades since I was served, and later consumed, this molecularly precise model of a gram negative bacterium. The model captures 3 features of the cell: - high protein density, but low molecule number - carbohydrate surface - cheese in periplasm

Up next, Ben Hatton PhD student Desmond van den Berg brings us a talk about antimicrobial surface design to reduce fomite contamination and transmission, an important source of hospital-acquired infections. #IDMicro2023

Excited to share the first microarray microneedle patches (MAPs) designed at Stanford University and printed on Carbon’s first high resolution ā€œS2 Printerā€ that was recently installed in the DeSimone Research Group! This printer has a projected Pixel Size of 5.4 microns and a Build Area of 15.3 mm

This red line might as well be from another planet. We are living the last days of Earth and human civilisation as we had come to know them. A tiny bit of ice left in the Arctic is currently keeping temps from rocketing. Once it goes, things will be simply surreal #ClimateCrisis

It's weird how wanting to maintain the conditions in which humanity has thrived is considered an ideology, yet pursuing the impossible goal of infinite economic growth, at any cost, is not Well, weird is one word

Japanese scientists find microplastics are present in clouds Researchers in Japan have confirmed that microplastics are present in clouds, where they are likely affecting the climate in ways that are not yet fully understood. The team identified nine different types of polymers
