My question is more of a comment,
You forgot to cite my Nature paper from 2022.
Professorial Position in Observational Astrophysics or Cosmology at Maynooth University!
It's been a couple of weeks since I announced a job opportunity in the form of Professorial Position in Observational Astrophysics or Cosmology at Maynooth University. After a short bureaucratic delay the announcement has just appeared on the AAS Jobs Register here, which gives me an excuse to post about the poistion again. The deadline is 31st March 2025.
The Internet is mostly shit these days, but every once in a great while I stumble across an incredible, passion-project website.
This one is hand-animated weird art and it is worth your time as a fun decompressing thing in between your doomscrolling sessions.
I don't even know what hashtags this deserves, so it's not getting any. Boost to your friends!

This is pretty incredible. In the bowels of the UT Insect Collection we’ve found some Chagas bugs collected and identified by Carlos Chagas himself!
Happy #FossilFriday, check out this beautifully preserved crinoid! These animals have inhabited the oceans for 480 million years, and they're relatives of sea urchins and sea stars. This specimen is long fossilized, but looks like it just died and fell into the seabed's embrace. (1/3)

"I don't understand trans people!"
I don't understand Dutch. This doesn't give me license to deny the existence of Amsterdam.
PhD in Cell Biology
I am a Research Scientist and lab manager for the Tootle lab in the Biology department at the University of Iowa. We use Drosophila oogenesis to understand the mechanisms regulating prostaglandin production and function. My particular interest is the developmental roles of lipid droplets and their connection to prostaglandins.
I love biology and teaching people about what is happening in cells. I also am really interested in microscopy.
I also like cats, horses and horseback riding, fish keeping (I have two aquariums), video games-particularly the Half-Life franchise and Half Life mods, and I have recently gotten into VR (NOT META!) so if you want to chat about any of these topics that would be great!
