To diversify science, some labs open summer doors wide to reach out to under-represented groups.

Love’s the only engine of survival. —Leonard Cohen

Tardigrades are everywhere. They’re tiny — usually under a millimeter long — and they’re mostly transparent, so they’re easy to miss. But you probably walk by them every day. We’ve been grooming them as emerging models for studying how body forms evolve and how biological materials can survive extreme conditions.

A blend of science, food and fun can empower well-being and new connections.

How to gauge academic culture and celebrate being an LGBT+ scientist.

MicroED for structure determination without a model and with heavy metal guitar riffs.

From a physicist who explores biology’s unknowns, greater precision by linking two methods.

Scientists in Ukraine share their current reality and post-war plans.

Building a sustainable open source toolbox to track social behavior and how to get in the zone.

Hiking his way to a well-engineered translational future for tissue-based imaging.

A bioengineer and world traveler with a systems approach to gene silencing.

A tool to make microbial network-oriented deep dives easier, and caring about equality.

Sharing, teaching and singing to bring people together on microscopy standards.

Sydney’s beauty, candy-store lollies and a community view of glycoproteomics software.

The exception proves the rule.

Scuba diving and jazz bring together chemistry, neuroscience and life inland.

She connects equity, samurai swords, imaging and an automated way to count and track mitochondria.

A neuroscientist who jams, plays and builds a way to capture animal movement.

I do not think you can start with anything precise. You have to achieve such precision as you can, as you go along. —Bertrand Russell
