Black History Month: Jeremiah Jones was 58 years old when he enlisted with the Canadian Expeditionary Force in 1916. For his heroic actions during the Battle of Vimy Ridge, he was awarded the Canadian Forces Medallion for Distinguished Service in 2010 — 60 years after his death.

How can structures at the vertex of 3 cells have effects at the tissue level?

Join me, @laura-rustarazo.bsky.social, to explore how tricellular junctions (TCJs) act as local tension sensors and regulators of global tissue organization. 🧵⤵️ doi.org/10.1126/scie...

The visual proteome is becoming a “THING” thanks to the open access work of a lot of dedicated researchers! I hope they embrace EFTEM/ESI one day to add atomic content as another colour palette 🎨

A take on "The Upside Down" with "The Up-FLIED Down", in the red Stranger Things font, with a photo of a red upside down fiery scene. With a red-eyed fruit fly Demogorgon (Demosphila???) ... I'll stop now.

I slay me. Drosophila puns for days. Getting ready for Evolution Winter 2026. Should be doing ACTUAL work for it, not punny pop culture slides. Would you call it a Demofly? Or, Drosophilogorgon?

congrats- stunning!
