Hah! I had them once in Japan and didn't mind the taste, but Sea Urchins as food is almost unheard of where I'm from. We threw the guys out at the end so maybe some hungry student fished them out of the

I really like this entry. Definitely easy to understand why considering tiny black holes is way more nuanced than it might seem.

Glad you like the series. The Placenta post can be found at and the chick embryo lab post can be found at

Good to see another issue of distilled! Now if I can just find some time to contribute :(

Great Post. These plants don't grow around my parts (Northeast US), but I've seen them when traveling and always love watching them respond to touch!

Nice to see this series continue. Are you going to focus on ways to treat/prevent allergies at any point?

Looks like distilled is picking up .... Steam!!! (cue canned laughter). Now we're so close to 100 we can't stop.

Things with the baby are great! Thanks for asking!

Cool stuff. You can really appreciate how complex trees are when you consider differences between leaves and how many ways you can measure leaf variances.

Might only be two posts featured, but at least Distilled is back! Nice work @lemouth!

Great to hear from you @lemouth. Things have been going pretty slow for a while so any potential bump in the SteemSTEM community is exciting. I've got a post I've been slowly working on so I'll try to

Awesome photos. These really give a great sense of the scale of these scopes. Are all scopes cooled with liquid nitrogen or does it depend on the camera?

Didn't see your original post 10 months ago so great to see this now. Rooting out falsified research like this is always satisfying.

Didn't know toxiplasmosis was such a big deal in immunosuppressed patients. It's role in manipulating the behavior of infected rats was always fascinating to me though.

You weren’t kidding about the disturbing images. It’s crazy to think that patient was diagnosed 4 years ago and let something this bad go untreated.

Nice work here showing how a simple bioinformatic analysis can provide a lot of information. I'm looking at your list of 42 hits and you may be able to discount some entirely (HSF1 may be a heat shock

Nice article and good job defining terms at the end that might not be clear to new readers. You definitely covered a lot with this broad topic.

It's awesome that you can share photos like these. Your posts really help us understand the detective work that health professionals go through in diagnosing patients and the xrays are key to your

Awesome photos! Those eye stalks are creepy.

Telomere shortening is a fascinating part of biology. They almost function as a ticking clock with each cell replication cycle representing a tick. Obviously it isn't that simple, if so, telmoerase would
