I just discovered it is migraine awareness week! My body obviously already knew and decided to treat me to yet another weekend migraine yesterday to celebrate! Migraines are definitely not just headaches.

Really enjoyed #genomescience2025 well done @4130chromo.bsky.social and everyone involved! Train journey home is considerably shorter than last year!

From sunny Newcastle - see you all tomorrow for 3 days of Genome Science UK #GenomeScience25 🌞 Safe travels 🫡 #Genomics 🧬🧬

Researchers with ADHD discuss its peaks and valleys and how they structure their work lives to succeed https://go.nature.com/43qHtnH

Genome Science UK - Newcastle 2025 See you all in July (9th - 11th) 🌞🧬🧬👍 #Genomics - Early bird registration closure 16th May - Abstract submission closure 23rd May - Registration closure 26th June www.genomescience.org.uk

The recent rhetoric and false information about autism from Kennedy and Trump have been upsetting and undermine the progress made to destigmatize autism. A registry is a really worrying progression.

If you want to show solidarity or support for autistic people on #WorldAutismDay, don’t “light it up blue,” wear #RedInstead. Why? The simplest reason is because that’s what #ActuallyAutistic people are asking you to do. learnfromautistics.com/wear-redinst... #neurodiversity #AutismAcceptanceDay

Excited to test this

Looking forward to this!

On the 3rd of April, I’m organizing a sponsored walk for autism acceptance, and I’d be really grateful for your support! ❤️ ➡️ Donate here: shorturl.at/rgU2w

Last day of work until 2025 and listening to A relatively famous victory by @ballboymusic.bsky.social on the train home. Feel like it is the most appropriate song to have as a soundtrack!

Autistic people w/intellectual disability assert that “navigating the world around them involved a need to actively manage the sensory environment, rather than passively receive sensory input.” Including visual schedules, ear defenders, etc. New research: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I was just thinking the same thing!

Really happy to have contributed to this collection along working @lindalako.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... www.nature.com/collections/...

This project will be in collaboration with Dr Helen Phillips (not yet on Bluesky!) and @rachelq-ncl.bsky.social. We also get lots of help/advice from @4130chromo.bsky.social !

Really looking forward to virtually attending this over the next few days: genetics.org.uk/events_categ... "The real point is control: transposons as controlling elements in evolution, development and disease" @geneticssocietyuk.bsky.social

I have a Fully funded @DiMeN_DTP PhD available currently! Exploring transposable elements in the human retina and their role in aging & neurodegeneration! www.findaphd.com/phds/project... 🔬 Fully computational project 🧬 Bioinformatics & single-cell focus Get in touch for an informal chat

I thought it might be good to introduce myself. So here goes! I started began working with single cell data in 2015 in the genomics core facility at Newcastle University lead by @4130chromo.bsky.social .

Great to see you here @lindalako.bsky.social !

A starter pack for single-cell/Spatial community! This is work-in-progress, Please let me know if you want to added in this evolving list go.bsky.app/RRBrEUx

...continuing from Xitter I think your starter pack link works with bsky.app/starter-pack... but not with the linked bsky.app/starter-pack... Happy to join of course
