Hi AcademicSky - I'm looking for good research papers for an undergraduate cell biology course that incorporate fluorescence-based cell staining methods (immunofluorescence, DNA/RNA FISH, vital staining, etc.). Any favorites?

I recorded a cacophony of night herons on Tuesday near Santa Barbara and it came up with 🦗🦗

Shout out to the College of Science at Cal State, East Bay (especially Mimi Wall, Andy Dobbin and Dean Singley), the Dept. of Biology, InVivo Biosystems, NEB, Sunybiotech, Union Biometrica and Cell and Tissue Biology at UCSF for their generous support. The tradition continues! #BAWM2024

The BAWM - Bay Area Worm Meeting was a resounding success!! Undergrads, grads postdocs and faculty ftom all over the Bay Area learned about the latest in C. elegans and Ramanei biology. It was a community effort spearheaded by Dr Maria Elena Gallegos Prof Cal State East Bay. 🧪

I'm asking (gestures at the world).

I have a related question: I want a way to make a realistic physical scale model of double-helical DNA, ideally out of something that would have realistic stiffness, bendability, and other properties, scaled to the size of the model. Is this possible?

Time for Lizard Chips?!😋
