Mechanisms of magnetosensing in pigeons - a surprise appearance of macrophages!

A gentle reminder that if your customers are scientists, your products and claims will be extensively (and rightfully) scrutinized.
As mentioned elsewhere, I've been dreaming of solving this problem for a looooooooong time. Nice to see that my dreams were also the dreams of a very talented team! Slightly different approach, same problem, similar logic. Loving this!
At @szndohrn.bsky.social, the floor tiles have stitching and segmentation artifacts :) Just finished teaching the marvels of spatial omics to the great group of PhD students of @zoocell.biologists.social.ap.brid.gy, together with @alvarocrevenna.bsky.social. What a week! 🔬🍕🍝🍷🧪
Two mechanisms, independent of daylight, may enable pigeons to navigate using Earth’s magnetic field

TL;DR: We've identified more than 100 cases of apparent manipulation in Thermo Fisher Scientific's antibody verification data.

Is the purpose of science and 🧪 training to churn out papers or to create a healthy knowledge community? In a @nature.com comment, @mjcrockett.bsky.social and I check in on how AI helps with the former while jeopardizing the latter 1/

Using light-activated CRISPR in zebrafish, we triggered synchronized DNA breaks and track the repair process.

Well ... DNA repair is very different in embryos compared to tissue culture cells. Embryos repair DNA breaks incredibly fast - within minutes!

of many projects Craig Venter led, of personal significance was the fly genome, a unique and i think unexpected collaboration of his company Celera Genomics and the BDGP, led by my pd advisor Gerry Rubin. the power of a shotgun sequenced metazoan, benchmarked to a physical map, transformed genomics.
We’ve documented more than 100 instances of apparent data manipulation in Thermo’s catalog

Surprised to discover that Thermo Fisher appears to show a fake western blot for the validation of one of their p53 antibodies. I've added a diagram to show the very similar bands. This does not appear to be one of the "published figures" but their own internal data.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly accelerating scientific output, but risks narrowing inquiry, weakening judgement and undermining how scientists are trained.
