#OTD 90 years ago Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman discovered the Raman effect. The Raman effect is the change in wavelength that occurs when a light beam is deflected by molecules. The phenomenon is named for the Indian physicist, who led experiments on the scattering of light
"No single animal has contributed as much to the field of genetics as the ordinary and ubiquitous Drosophila melanogaster." theatln.tc/2FEIiMT The Atlantic's @sarahzhang remembers her own fly pushing days when reading @smohrfly's new book "First in Fly"
"the random sample of mitochondria present in the mother’s egg cells determine the genetic makeup of mitochondria in her offspring—just like founder’s effect in classical population genetics" bit.ly/2t9JGEK #GENETICS
"Mitochondria are not bean-shaped structures chilling in the cytoplasm but instead form beautiful, dynamic, tubular networks." Laura Lackner @NorthwesternU discusses her work on mitochondrial tethering in this #peopleandideas jcb.rupress.org/content/early/…
