here’s a list of nobel prize winners who experimented on themselves. literally some of the greatest medical breakthroughs were due to self experimentation —something that’s too taboo to be published now.

Brain-wide neuron tracing reveals that the mysterious mouse claustrum is highly connected to the rest of the brain. In this extreme example, several neurons wrap their axons entirely around the cortex, forming a crown-like structure. 👑 More: alleninstitute.org/news/scishots-… #SciShots

Super happy to see this heroic effort by @DimitriFabreges and Bernat Corominas out! Via a quantitative atlas of the developmental trajectories of dozens of embryos, we can see how robust shapes and fates arise from highly stochastic cellular processes! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/n

This Nature article shows that most Nobel Prize winners are part of one big, incestuous academic network. Out of 736 Nobel Prize winners in science and economics, 702 are "part of the same academic family." Only 32 researchers out of this network have won the Nobel Prize.

People claimed the human brain was special relative to other primates in the size of the temporal lobes, involved in functions such as language. Newer data once again shows that no, the human brain is just a scaled up primate brain onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aj…

A reminder that proteins are highly dynamic molecules. ◼ We have made progress in measuring & predicting static protein structures, but the dynamics that animate life remain challenging to measure & model.
