Last week we presented our Deep Dive on using magnetic tweezers 🧲 🤏 to learn about the mechanisms of antiviral nucleotide analogs 🧬 . See that episode on YT here: youtube.com/watch?v=ExHbI77c…

So the last poll lead to a Tie ! So we have a run off vote between a paper looking at how SARS-CoV-2 antivirals work from a "single molecule perspective" using magnets, and a paper on using a "human lung airway lung on a chip" to show influenza evolution.
80%Magnets & Antivirals
20%Influenza on a chip

Hi all just as a reminder we're not running our show this week as we're attending @globalbiosummit. But as always tweet us any interesting new papers you find during the week and we'll consider covering them in our news episodes.

Microscopy made to order. Very good summary of radical efforts in open source software and hardware to democratise microscopy, by @eisensteinium

check out our preprint about SPIRO, Smart Plate Imaging Robot: doi.org/10.1101/2021.03.15.4…
Automated time-lapse imaging is now possible inside standard plant growth cabinets.
The robot costs less than 200 Euro and can be built by a common variety biologist (we tested it!)

Free Radicals signed onto this letter from @stoplapdspying, @LACANetwork, and @BLMLA that denounces LA City Council’s LAPD-complicit report on LAPD’s violence last summer - the report proposes a new surveillance and info-gathering bureau for LAPD 👎👎
BREAKING: Along with @LACANetwork @BLMLA and 39 other community groups, we just sent City Council a letter about the new City Council report on LAPD's violence last summer. The report is a bold attempt to win LAPD more resources and spy powers. drive.google.com/file/d/1MCQ…
