Writing is an essential skill for scientists, and learning how to write effectively starts with good fundamentals and lots of practice.

Scientists discuss their latest findings on cell secretory states, synapse formation, and neurodegenerative disease.

Remote research via cloud labs makes it possible for scientists to conduct complex experiments from a distance.

Live cell imaging is a powerful microscopy technique employed by scientists to monitor molecular processes and cellular behavior in real time.

Designed to mimic the brain itself, artificial neural networks use mathematical equations to identify and predict patterns in datasets and images.

Scientists elevate other scientists, and we want to help! Recommend a researcher whose achievements inspire you. We’ll share the story.

Scientists optimize PCR to ensure successful amplification and analysis.

Simple, quick, and modular reactions allow researchers to create useful molecular structures from a wide range of substrates.

By monitoring disease biomarkers within wastewater, researchers gain insight into disease prevalence within communities.

High throughput screening (HTS) relies on liquid handling devices, robotics, plate readers, and data processing software to automatically test a large number of biological, genetic, chemical, or pharmacological samples. 

Precision medicine helps clinicians tailor individual treatments, addressing genetic mutations, tumor microenvironment variations, and therapeutic resistance.

Scientists are beginning to recognize the importance of being able to effectively communicate their findings.

Researchers create and improve CRISPR-Cas mediated gene editing technologies based on prokaryotic CRISPR systems and eukaryotic DNA repair mechanisms.

A new writing contest provides life scientists with a platform to try their hands at science journalism, tell their science stories, develop their communication skills, and publish their work.

The relationship between aging and cancer is complex, with several shared underlying mechanisms. 

Found circulating in peripheral blood, scientists use cell-free DNA (cfDNA) to assess genetic abnormalities, infections, cancer, transplant rejection, and cardiovascular disease.

Learn about quantitative PCR (qPCR), including its fundamentals, common applications, modes of detection, and key quantification methods.

In this webinar, Joshua Campbell will talk about the fundamentals of scRNA-seq analysis and how to handle various challenges.
