Hey science peeps! Can anyone recommend a human cell line that are large cells? I’m looking to image the cells with the biggest lysosomes I can find. Wondering if there is anything bigger than what I see with HEK293’s. Please RT.

🦈Over the past 2 years, we have accomplished so much more than we could’ve imagined. Hundreds of members in dozens of countries with lot of hands-on, fully funded opportunities for our members and women/gender minorities of color in so many different locations.

Text explains that the cofounders of MISS are proud of the work they’ve done in the last 2 years and they are excited to expand further. There are 6 photos: MISS and field school crew measuring a shark, MISS cofounders being goofy, MISS workshop participants on Garvin, MISS workshop participant tagging a shark, MISS workshop participants with their backs to the camera and the logo on the shirts visible, and Garvin floating on the water.

Twitter, please help. My patient is a little boy whose life’s dream is to play the new #Pokemon #ScarletViolet game. He has incurable cancer and likely won’t live to see the game released in November. Does anyone have connections with @Nintendo @Pokemon @thevowel? 1/

Our long awaited project is finally done! Myself and 23 other Black women PhDs and PhD candidates have published a memoir to share our experiences in a PhD program. First year me would’ve loved to have this book and I can’t believe I’m an author in it😊
