Before chromosomes can be segregated during cell division, they have to cover themselves with a protein that acts similar to soap to prevent them from clumping together. Read more about…
What happens when you drop food on the floor? According to the myth of the "five-second rule", bacteria will wait patiently so you have time to pick it up. This…
When devotion begets emotion - the life of a PhD student. This portrait series of my fellow researchers illustrates the intense emotions scientists face in everyday life in the lab.…
