In South Korea, supermarkets often offer bananas at varying levels of ripeness so customers can eat them over several days and reduce food waste.

@rainmaker1973-m.bsky.socialReposted by @ardemp.bskyverified.social@ardemp.bskyverified.socialWas thrilled to hear this news! A light-sensitive protein from green algae became one of the most important tools in neuroscience. Congratulations to Karl, Peter, and Georg. @deisseroth.bsky.social: glad the artist captured the unshaved look! Enjoy the moment.
@ardemp.bskyverified.socialWhat a game 1!
@ardemp.bskyverified.socialThanks for your support, @repscottpeters.bsky.social

@scripps.eduReposted by @ardemp.bskyverified.socialCongrats to Hannah Tam, one of six 2026 International Birnstiel Award laureates! A postdoctoral fellow in Ardem Patapoutian's lab, Tam’s doctoral research at Harvard University found in preclinical models that skin regeneration after birth is not lost but blocked.

@ardemp.bskyverified.socialNIH's Aug 2026 proposal would scrap exact scores and percentiles for three broad bins (top = top 25%). With funding rates at 5% or lower, too much then rides on administrative discretion. It devalues peer review and is a deterrent to engage. Tell NIH before Oct 13.

@ardemp.bskyverified.socialExcited to co-host this conference with @marissascavuzzo.bsky.social and Steve Liberles focused on the peripheral nervous system -- No Brainer! Check out the amazing list of speakers and apply for one of the spots for this small, interactive meeting on the beautiful Janelia Campus at HHMI.
@ardemp.bskyverified.socialNew preprint alert! The uterus expands ~500-fold in pregnancy, yet we know little about how pressures are sensed. Led by @yunxiao-dr.bsky.social, we show PIEZOs are required for contractions and birth in mice, with dual roles of PIEZO1 in muscle and PIEZO2 in neurons

@ardemp.bskyverified.socialI joined 75+ @nobelprize.bsky.social laureates urging US Senators to oppose RFK Jr.'s confirmation as DHHS Secretary. If you’re in a state with GOP senators, PLEASE reach out to them! I’d deeply appreciate it if you amplified this post! 🙏
