@iamshef.bsky.socialI saw today someone wrapping a samosa with a naan and eating it with yogurt - it felt so wrong. Mannn come on, how are you doing this ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐ฅบ
@iamshef.bsky.socialAhhh There there
@iamshef.bsky.socialHurt your head from something?
@lauragrima.bsky.socialReposted by @iamshef.bsky.socialHighlighting a couple of lovely behavior-focused preprints from some of the newer rodent neuro labs at Janelia: mice hunting crickets in the @emilyjanedennis.bsky.social lab (tinyurl.com/5fenwwh8) and exploring structured, complex environments in the @jvoigts.bsky.social lab (tinyurl.com/4ewsvvhw)
@iamshef.bsky.socialI kind of have to clarify, someone misunderstood this post. I was talking about how I do not support use of AI for image processing to make scientific images look prettier (in regard to the Nikon competition) because visualizing science is such joy and science is beautiful as it is.
@iamshef.bsky.socialThere's something beautiful about sitting at the confocal and visualizing different cell types, different tissues, different ideas .... It's such pure joy. Science is beautiful as it is. I hope we are able to protect this experience - esp in light of recent events of AI usage for image processing.
@harmitmalik.bsky.socialReposted by @iamshef.bsky.socialMost animal species pack sperm DNA with protamines instead of histones. Protamines are essential for male fertility. They are among the fastest-evolving genes in animals. That makes little sense. We think we know why, in a new paper led by @ching-hochang.bsky.social. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
@mirlab.bsky.socialReposted by @iamshef.bsky.social1/ Our paper, โEnhancer binding kinetics explain transcription factor hub formation,โ is now published! Here we set out to understand why transcription factors form bright clusters or โhubsโ in the nucleus, and whether those hubs actually control gene activity.

@hannamariahakkinen.bsky.socialReposted by @iamshef.bsky.socialHow do long-lived multipotent stem cells cope with mechanical stress in vivo?
We found that neural crest cells are protected from mechanical stress during migration in confined tissue environment.

@tamanash.bsky.socialReposted by @iamshef.bsky.socialThe Raman lab is open for business! Pravrutha is an amazing scientist and a wonderful mentor, so for folks who are interested in chromatin evolution and want to work across multiple model systems, this is a canโt miss opportunity.
