And before anyone mentions āanterior pelvic tiltā or ālumbar hyperlordosisā thatās the rabbit hole that brought about this realization lol
Also⦠I have heard that locking your knees and standing for too long can make you faint. I kinda just now put it together that I shouldnāt be standing like thatšš
Today I learned that Iāve been standing wrong my entire life. I stand with my knees locked. Yāall donāt do that?!?!
My 2 year old niece just put 2 nilla wafers together and said āitās a macaron!ā This little bougie girlā¦š
The April Fool is me bc April came up so fast it jumped scared tf outta meš
Energetic graphic that reads: BREAKING! 4/1/26! RFK Jr IS OUT! Next to it is a retro cartoon of a man kicking a man with RFK Jr.'s face, in the behind
Yeah, we wish, but itās just #AprilFools.
So letās keep up the fight: We want RFK Jr. OUT.

Love being a grad studentš«¶š½
They all look the sameš
Miss you too! Hope youāre doing well :)
Thrilled to see my marine biologist #SciComm friend @sofishtication.bsky.social on a slide at #AAASmtg! She used to be at UnivWA and I miss her.
Weāre horseposting post your horses
Not my horse but one of my all-time faves by Sarah Andersen of Sarahās Scribbles and you deserve its cute lil face
Weāre at 10% of the way funded! Thank you to everyone who supported us so far š„°

Some dudes getting their drinks at Dunkin
Dude 1: *loudly and clearly mocking* wow that pink drink you ordered looks yummy!

That's a wrap on Field Trips! We had such a great time showing you around. ā

The final stop on our Field Trips Tour is Dr. Beth Stevensās lab at Boston Childrenās Hospital.
Fun fact: the Stevens Lab is bigger than some entire university departments, and is spread across Boston Childrenās Hospital, Harvard, and MIT!

Jaida and Dr. Stevens pose for a photo in the lab!
Dr. Stevens captivates the lab while talking about glia.
A member of Stevens's team is showing off some research images to our team.
A member of the lab preps a sample in a dish in the lab.
With a lab so big, Dr. Stevensās team must be working on something huge!
Thatās why weāre bringing you to the Stevens Lab to check it out!

Jaida Elcock and Dr. Feng Zheng pose for a photo during their interview.
Jaida Elcock dressed in lab gear giving an expression that says "can you believe this is happening?"
Dr. Zheng and Jaida engrossed in conversation about the specifics of the lab work.
Dr. Zheng showing off how some of the lab equipment works.
First stop on our Field Trip tour is Dr. Feng Zhang's lab at the Broad Institute.
You may already be familiar with Dr. Zhangās work if youāve ever heard of CRISPR⦠but how do you follow up a hit like that?
Thatās a story big enough to tell in person.

Jaida and Dr. Hannah Yevick during their sit-down interview.
A lab assistant shows Jaida some work in the lab.
Dr. Yevick prepping Jaida for what she will see under the microscope
a side view of a microscope with a petri dish sample on it.
Join us at Brandeis University to visit Dr. Hannah Yevickās Lab, where the focus is on billions of individual cells that fused together to become one super cell spanning 13 square meters!
Thatās the kind of thing you want to see for yourself.
When Hannah Yevick learned that the placenta contained a cell whose surface spanned 13 square meters, the biophysicist was fascinated. For this episode of @scishow.bsky.social Field Trips, we traveled to Yevick's lab to learn about the largest cell in the human body.

Thereās a GoFundMe for Jonathan Rossās legal expenses for murdering Renee Good.
This violates GoFundMeās Terms of Service. Everyone must report it.
A thread on how to do that š§µ
Choose your shark š¦
lol it sure is!!
Dear people who design bathroom stalls,
1- please design the stalls with the doors swinging OUT rather than in
2- if youāre going to swing the doors in, the stall should at least be big enough for me ti enter the stall and close the door without my legs touching the toilet. Thatās nasty.
Thanks.
Nephew LOVES doing scicomm videos with me! Merry Christmas Eve, friends!
