While writing this, I learned that planarians have been described as “almost immortal under the edge of the knife” – an ode to their remarkable regenerative abilities, and also an extremely metal quote for a tiny worm with googly eyes
What doesn’t kill you makes you younger: damage-induced tissue regeneration resets the clock for elderly flatworms. 👩🎤🎵 Really entertaining preLight prepared by @SophiaFriesen2 covering work from the @GuoLonghua lab @UMich. #preprint Check it out 👇

As my first foray into scicomm, the BSR made a HUGE positive impact on my career trajectory - consider donating (or sharing!!) to support early-career communicators and get some incredible science stories in print!
The @BerkeleySciRev is crowdfunding! It would mean so much to us if you donated to support our grad student-run publications! Learn more👇

This is a super cool opportunity to try out audio #scicomm, and those of you on the science side of things may have more thoughts about policy than you know... want to talk COVID legislation? GMO crops? Climate justice? [your passion here]? Here's your shot.

Loquat season is here again!! Highly recommend looking out for these - people plant them everywhere as landscaping trees and they are DELICIOUS (on par with a really good nectarine imo)
