Maria Skłodowska-Curie (1867-1934) was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person to win two Nobel Prizes, and is still the only person to this day who has her awards in two different fields.

On July 4, 1934, she passed away from aplastic anemia, or the lack of production of red blood cells, directly caused by her long-term exposure to radiation. Today we remember her for her contributions to humanity.

Dziękuję, Maria!

One of the surreal things about the environmental apocalypse is that we see it coming. In fact, it is already here. The polar ice is melting. Water levels are rising. Weather patterns are changing. Droughts and storms are intensifying. Crops are failing. Yet even as reports like [the IPCC's] keep coming out, sounding the alarm over and over like the ringing of a bell, our response is slow, almost sporadic, as affluent nations seek to meet the crisis while maintaining their standard of living. In the meantime, poorer nations continue to destroy their own ecology in an attempt to reach those inflated standards. A truly united, consistent and sustainable response eludes us. We seem stuck in the headlights of an oncoming disaster without knowing how to move. Perhaps the Dreamer can show us an answer. Not in more scientific reports but in a spiritual shift of the heart. In the covenant at the core of the Washani creed, Smohalla employed very graphic language to describe Mother Earth. He equated the relationship between earth and humans being with the reality of any mother who has given birth and raised children. He described activities such as mining or farming as a violation of her body. In this way, Smohalla like many other Native American prophets sought to anthropomorphize the earth as a living being with whom we have a very intimate relationship. He used dramatic language precisely because his opponents, the American business and military interests, used just the reverse: they sought to negotiate on the basis of inanimate objects, natural resources, and financial quantifiablity. There was no room in their worldview for a personal relationship with the land or the rivers. They were just things. Things to be plowed up, cut down, or dug out. The utilitarian vision of the environment was as far as they could, or were willing, to see.

protein evolution!

for my PhD project, im trying to add to our understanding of why understand why mutations in one gene, Peregrin, causes medullablastoma, leukemia, bipolar disorder, metabolic disorders, schizophrenia, and other disorders. Here is a little morphing movie I made of the protein shifting from the drosophila homolog to the homo homolog. structural biology is interesting!!

I’ve seen a few ~aesthetic~ photos of rock stacks in rivers recently and this is just a reminder that you are destroying habitat when you move rocks around in rivers and streams.

In addition to dragonfly nymphs, rocky river beds are home to lots of other larval invertebrates like damselflies, mayflies, water beetles, caddisflies, stoneflies, and a bunch of dipterans. Not to mention lots of fish and amphibians!

Plus large scale rock stacking can change the flow of a stream and lead to increased erosion.

Anyway dragonfly for admiration:

Happy pride month to those who stay closeted out of fear of rejection from friends and family.

Happy pride month to those who have tried to come out but had people flat out deny their queerness and not respect their identity.

Meteorite-common amino acid induces formation of nanocavities in clay mineral, hinting at life's origins

Researchers at the universities of Amsterdam and Utrecht have observed the formation of nanocavities in montmorillonite clay under exposure

Researchers at the universities of Amsterdam and Utrecht have observed the formation of nanocavities in montmorillonite clay under exposure to gamma-aminobutyric acid, a molecule commonly found on meteorites. This hitherto unrecognized phenomenon could be relevant to the origin of life on Earth, by introducing 3D confined nano-environments in clay that might have facilitated life's first chemistry. The findings have been reported in Communications Earth & Environment.
