Discussing the Use of Language in STEM Fields
A New article I wrote got published! Please give it a read and a like if you can! And check out the Particle Publication if you want more cool articles!
Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate DNA fragments (or other macromolecules, such as RNA and proteins) based on their size and charge. Electrophoresis involves running a current through a gel containing the molecules of interest. Based on their size and charge, the molecules will travel through the gel in different directions or at different speeds, allowing them to be separated from one another. All DNA molecules have the same amount of charge per mass. Because of this, gel electrophoresis of DNA fragments separates them based on size only. Using electrophoresis, we can see how many different DNA fragments are present in a sample and how large they are relative to one another. We can also determine the absolute size of a piece of DNA by examining it next to a standard "yardstick" made up of DNA fragments of known sizes. Separation of molecules in electrophoresis is based on charge (the thing that gets pulled) and the effective cross-section of the molecule in whatever state it finds itself – folded, unfolded, bound to other molecules, etc. A collection of DNA fragments separate by length because they are all the same type of molecule. In general, the only meaningful difference between the various fragments should be their length. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For instance, some DNA molecules are circular (like bacterial plasmids), while others are linear. Circular DNA molecules may run differently than linear ones through a gel. Plasmids, for example, can exist in a form called "supercoiled," in which they actually move faster through a gel. - -credit @b.m.d.e, follow for interesting videos. #dynamic_science #thescientificreporters #scicomm #biology #biochemistry #physics #mathematics #maths #chemistryteachers #water #melon #watermelon #biochemistry#sciencecommunication #scicommindia #scicomms #phd #phdlife #phdstudents #biochem #bioquimica #medicalscience #biomedicalscience #cellbiology #cellularbiology https://www.instagram.com/p/B7QFtD-p_Iv/?igshid=1eqmlstz6rlbp
A Story of Birds, Graphs, and the Scientific Process
So remember that time I was doing bird feeder research? Well I finally finished that project and learned a lot about the birds I was studying and the scientific process as well! I learned enough that it warranted a publishing a short article about the project on The Particle (A Science Communication Publication on Medium). For anyone who is interested in science, birds, and the scientific method, I’d love for you to read and leave a comment!
There’s something satisfying about seeing a project come together. Whether it’s been something in the works for years, or an idea I had…
New Article Published!
It’s been awhile and Im working on a hundred different things now, but my article on my Data Visualization project was finally published!

It’s today! If you’ve got questions about the three-week residency I did this spring in the Pacific Ocean aboard Research Vessel Falkor (source of this post, far and away the most popular thing I have ever put on Tumblr), I’ll be taking them at 4pmPDT this afternoon. You can tweet at @SchmidtOcean with queries, reply to this post before 3:30PDT, or tune in live to watch the event at the link above.
What do you want to know about life on the open waves?

Heads up: this Friday I’ll be on a livestream Q+A talking about my time at sea with R/V Falkor and the comic I completed during three weeks in the Pacific Ocean.
If you’ve got questions about the nitty gritty of being an adventure cartoonist, mapping the ocean floor, working in the field, or using comics to bring science to a new generation of students, tune in!
Friday, June 23rd, 4pm PST. See you there!
Three weeks in the Pacific on an oceanographic research vessel, distilled in comic form.
Ooh hey I updated the Mappin’ the Floor page with all-new, FULL COLOR version of the comic! @joeyweiser added so much pop to this piece with his cheerful coloring skills, and I couldn’t be happier.
Go learn a thing or three about bathymetry, y’all.
