We welcomed scientists from around the world to Bath this week for the annual Skin@Bath Symposium, who brought together global experts to discuss cutting-edge research in skin research, including therapies for skin-related disorders, such as skin cancers and arthritic psoriasis. #WeAreInternational

Great to be at the Skin@Bath Symposium learning about all things skin! Thrilled to have presented our work in the squamous cancers session, expertly chaired by @walkolab.bsky.social from @qmulfmd.bsky.social First time at this meeting, so v nice to meet new colleagues @birdbathcharity.bsky.social

It is becoming increasingly confusing to work out where to publish if you want to comply with your funders OA policy (or with your own principles). This tool is very helpful journalcheckertool.org

Fantastic to see the insides (and outside) of the brand new Dalton building @manmetuni.bsky.social - amazing space housing the Faculty of Science and Engineering. @iamabyron.bsky.social gave a Department of Life Sciences Research Seminar with a great view of the city!

Get down to the engineering building to see some NanoSIMS #UoM-TBM

Visited the Tiny But Mighty biotech image exhibition @official-uom.bsky.social today. A collection of tiny things that have big impact on biology, engineering and health! Wonderful images from colleagues @uomscieng.bsky.social @fbmh-uom.bsky.social @cruk-mi.bsky.social @mcf-uom.bsky.social #sciart

A nice Bluesky intro. Plus, hard to resist not having a go! scholargoggler.com

👋 #introduction: We are a new cell systems biology team @fbmh-uom.bsky.social #UoM. We study #CellAdhesion #networks in health and disease, especially #cancer. Fascinated by how adhesion proteins help #cells function in so many ways!
