🤜 #Scotland First Minister said his government now recognizes the #State of #Palestine, has stopped public payments to #armsfirms selling to #Israel, and urged the UK to suspend all #arms export licences to Israel. ❌🗡️💣 Stop #selling #weapons to Israel! www.gov.scot

No, summer is not gone yet🌺

🌺 It not the North Shore in Oahu, nor is it Nazaré in Portugal. Nope, it’s Lacanau in France, where the waves are just as nice 😎 #nicewaves #surfing #gironde #StormErin

My Happy Friday post 🌺. Storm Erin - induced waves at “my” ocean 2 days ago 🥰 Last days of vacation but it feels so good 🌊 #Landes #Tarnos #Beach #Waves #HouleCyclonique #LifeIsGood

🌺 My Happy Sunday Post Taking a break from science and politics to share my favorite local #cuties with you all! 🥰 #HighlandCows #FurryCoo #Scotland #IsleOfMull

🧪From 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲: Over three million #citations, an #h-index approaching 1,700 and many 2025 papers that have been cited over 1,000 times. Can this be #legitimate ??? 👿😳🤬 #PaperMills #Fraud #Fake #Publications #GoogleScholars (Google removed the page but archived at buff.ly/0yVjvpu)

My happy Sunday post! 😍 #Scotland #LoveScotland #Donkeys #EquineSky

🔔🧪 Call for Papers – #Mechanobiology of the #ExtracellularMatrix 🧬🛠️ Excited to serve as Guest Editor — together with Jacopo di Russo and Jennifer Young — of a new 𝐧𝐩𝐣 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐬 Collection on “Mechanobiology of the ECM”. Deadline: 14 May 2026! www.nature.com/collections/...

🔔🧪This PNAS article shows that #fraud is more #common than we think: Paper #mills products are fabricated, #fake papers sold for a #fee to authors! Unfortunately, #universities are omitted, and I'm unsure if all actively discourage fraud, especially to boost #rankings 🤔 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🌺 My happy Sunday post! #Puffins #IsleOfMay

I liked this article about how #protests are planned in #Scotland, but opponents of #Trump's golf courses fear they may bolster his ego 🥺 #ScotlandIsAlreadyGreat #StopTrump #AntiMAGA www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

🌺 Happy Sunday! Snapshot from the Farne Islands puffin webcam 🥰 #Puffins #FarneIslands

🧪Reposting from @lammerdinglab.bsky.social

🔔🧪I liked the article below, which summarises the #publications #quality loss #crisis we academics have been facing... Mistakes, AI fakes, and countless retractions illustrate how our "publish or perish" system is on the brink of #collapse. #PublishOrPerish www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

🔔🧪 Super interesting and very promising: A common #allergy drug aids the immune system in battling triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). When combined with an #immunotherapy drug, it reduced tumors in 5 out of 10 advanced TNBC patients. #BreastCancer #NovelTherapies www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🧪Such an amazing time at the #Vogel Alumni #Mechanobiology Symposium and Swiss Alpine Retreat! It was fantastic to reunite with both old and new faces in such a spectacular environment. Thank you, Viola! 🥰

🔔🧪 Super interesting… and promising! Stephen Wallace and his team at University of Edinburgh produced #paracetamol using genetically modified #E.coli bacteria from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the main component of #plastic bottles. 🦠💊 #RecyclingPlastic 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🌺 My Happy Sunday Post A fleeting moment of #peace in a world where our leaders choose brute force over dialogue and negotiation. #Puffins #LoveScotland

🔔🧪Amazing: Early #cancer detection enhances recovery chances and researchers at John Hopkins found that #blood #biomarkers can identify tumours over *3 years* before diagnosis, based on tiny genetic fragments shed by tumours. #EarlyCancerDetection #BloodBiomarkers aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscov...

🌺 My Happy Sunday Post A fishing trip that didn’t flop 😍 #IsleOfMay #Puffins #LoveScotland

My Happy Sunday Post 🌺 #UniversityOfGlasgow #Rhododendrons #LoveScotland

🔔🧪 Very good news! #Enhanced #screening for dense breasts can detect three times more #invasive #cancers. A study found 85 additional cancers in over 9,000 women using faster MRI and #contrast-enhanced #mammograms 🌺 #BreastCancer #EarlyDiagnosis #DenseBreastTissue www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

🌺 My Happy Sunday Post #IsleOfMull #Puffins #LoveScotland

🔔🧪It is unclear why #ColonCancer cases have doubled in those under 55 in the past two decades. A recent study from UCSD links this rise to #colibactin, a #toxin from certain #E.Coli strains. 👇Interesting 2-minute listen on npr www.npr.org/sections/sho...

🔔🧪Is earlier better for #cancer #vaccines? Vaccines may work better if given to #HighRisk individuals before #diagnosis. A trial is testing an mRNA vaccine for #PancreaticCancer in patients with intact spleens, as surgery weakens immune response. 👇Interesting read www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Wooly traffic disruption on the A87 on the Isle of Skye 🐑☺️🥰 #Skye #LoveScotland

🧪 I'm glad to hear that! Thank you once again, @marcocantini.bsky.social, for involving me in this project. It seems that #viscoelastic #hydrogels are quite the trend in #mechanobiology! 😊

Great to see that our work on #viscoelastic #hydrogels for #cartilage #TissueEngineering was one of the most-read papers in Advanced Healthcare Materials @mattjwalker.bsky.social @delphe.bsky.social @manlio-tassieri.bsky.social Check it out here doi.org/10.1002/adhm... 🧪

🔔🧪The Guardian reports that #Chinese researchers will #access half a million #UK #patients records (through the UK #Biobank), despite concerns from Western intelligence about the authoritarian regime gathering health data 🤔 www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

🔔🧪 A 30-year study in Nature Medicine identifies the #foods you should prioritize for #healthy mental and physical #aging and those that may harm your health. (Important: exercise, smoking, and BMI were accounted for! 😇) #health #food #diet www.news-medical.net/news/2025032...

"Taken together, we can conclude that women — already dramatically underrepresented at the highest levels of physics — are further underrepresented in last authorship in prestigious journals." Excellent effort by Prof. Alannah Hallas.

My Happy Sunday post 🌺. Back home for a few cherished days. No more work or politics… I run to the beach to greet “my” ocean, listen to the waves’ soft motion. It smells good, it feels good 😌 Reloading my soul. Life is good 🥰 #Landes #Tarnos #Beach #Waves #Equinox #LifeIsGood

🔔🧪Trump exports its #bullying: Today US Embassy asks #French #firms prove they don’t have #DEI programs violating federal laws, or risk being #barred from US #contracts! 🤔How long will Bernard Arnault (LVMH) and Co. resist, if at all? 💸 #Resist #SaveDEI www.theparliamentmagazine.eu/news/article...
