Humans stand out among primates for their ability to learn language. Check out @sarah_mcfann's review of @ThiagoTVarella & @LifeOfBehavior's work to learn how vocal learning may be tied to our species’ ability to coordinate infant care among adults: bit.ly/3A0PUpb (1/5)

Microorganisms have amazing ways to survive in hostile environments–“slime” bacteria, for example, aggregate into 3D masses called fruiting bodies when food is scarce. How? Read our review by @QiweiYu2 covering work by @KSCopenhagen & @RicardAlert: bit.ly/3m9VBLZ (1/5)

While liberally planting trees to combat climate change is all the rage-it's not always the right answer! Contrary to popular belief, planting trees can increase warming effects in some global regions where ground albedo is high/tree coverage inhibits radiative reflection [1/4]

.@hotarcheetos Archit Verma, PhD successfully defended his thesis "Bayesian modeling of single cell data" last week. His work on models to study single cell data is phenomenal! We will miss him so much, but hope he will join us for future group retreats! Best of luck, Archit!
Nothing seems appropriate to say for this moment. A small step and a ray of hope, but just the beginning.

Real question: I've heard a lot of anecdotal stories of women experiencing abnormal hormonal cycles after the COVID vaccine, such as early ovulation or early periods. Is this something women should be reporting as a possible side effect?
Actual footage of our the @pu_insights Slack last week about @NSFGRFP :
@crystaylylee (who is already an NSF GRF): "Congratulations Addie on @NSFGRFP!"
@AddieMinerva: "Congratulations Siena on @NSFGRFP!"
Me: "Congratulations Sara on @NSFGRFP!"
😂😂😂
Insights is ECSTATIC to share that 3 of our editors received an @NSFGRFP! We're so excited that you were recognized for your scholastic achievement & academic potential, and can't wait to see where your research career takes you! 👏@AddieMinerva👏@scientistsiena👏Sara Camilli👏
Still in shock!!! So honored to have been selected as an @NSFGRFP 2021 fellow 🥰
Incredibly thankful to my @PrincetonHive family, @BeEngelhardt, and everyone who has supported me on this PhD journey!!👩🔬🔬
I'm tired. #StopAsianHate

Check out @pu_insights' feature in @pawprinceton to learn about how @crystaylylee, @scientistsiena, Sara Camilli, and I teamed up to share @Princeton research through #accessible, student-written reviews!
For a year now, the students of @pu_insights have been publishing reviews of the University’s latest scientific papers, aiming to make the studies more accessible for researchers from other academic departments.
