I’m so happy to share a new @NanoLetters paper that started on Twitter! In 2020, @Rita_Strack shared a @naturemethods paper presenting “DNA FluoroCubes” – compact DNA nanocubes with six fluorescent dyes that exhibited incredible(!) photostability (1/10) pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

Ultra-photostable DNA FluoroCubes: Mechanism of Photostability and Compatibility with FRET and Dark...

Abstract. DNA-based FluoroCubes were recently developed as a solution to photobleaching, which is a ubiquitous limitation of fluorescence microscopy ( Niek

Enough is Enough With the Food Allergy 'Jokes'

With yet more Twitter food allergy jokes, Lianne Mandelbaum has had it. "The words become acceptable, stigmatizing and causing hurt," she writes.

I talked to 7 women, all Asian international students, who said Dybvig sexually harassed them. From flirty emails to unwanted kissing and touching, their stories span at least a decade. Many said it was an open secret among female Chinese students.

In a survey, the same share of men and women (11%) asked for a raise as a response to inflation but men were more likely than women to receive a raise (59% vs 52%). And the women earned less to begin with: 1/2 made <$50K vs 1/3 of men; @jljenniferliu cnbc.com/2022/12/13/men-were…

Men and women asked for raises this year at the same rate, but men were more likely to get them

A lot of Americans deal with inflation by asking for higher pay at their jobs. Not all groups were equally successful at upping their income.
