In an image its submitter calls “Saturation Fascination,” research scientist Crystal Wilson highlights work on metastatic cancer and ways to fight it. Mouse models used to test genetic metabolic vulnerabilities in cancer tumors helped reveal that ATM and Keap1 in tumors were targetable via the CRISPR gene-editing tool. While imaging the mice, Wilson accidentally saturated the image, later remarking: “It very much spoke to me. Science is hard and you don’t always get the data you want, but sometimes the mistakes are just as beautiful and valuable.”
