16.01.2022 Happy Halloween! These spooky, ghost-like structures are actually astrocytes, a type of glia, grown in culture. Glia are non-neuronal (i.e. not nerve) brain cel...ls. The strange, nest-like appearance is because the nuclei have been left unstained. Learn more about glia at: https://qbi.uq.edu.au/brain-b//brain-physiology/types-glia #UQturnsbacktime

01.01.2022 "If identical twins exam scores are more alike than non-identical twins, it is an indication genetic factors are driving that success. Using Complete University Guide rankings to determine institution quality, the scientists found the quality of university that students opted for was influenced by genes, even after accounting for A-level achievement."
