UKRI-MRC 'change' no real definitive plan on how to move forward, no timeline, but lets throw our stakeholders under the bus to then retrieve what we think is "appropriate research" from the remains. www.ukri.org/blog/mrc-fun...

Has Tinnitus Week led to a flurry of new tinnitus related appointments? As part of my PhD, I’m exploring how tinnitus & hyperacusis are assessed & managed in primary care. If you’re a GP, I’d really value your input via a 10 min survey app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/nottingham... Thank you!

How refreshing to read this from the leader of a nation. I wish our PM would echo the comments. I suspect @zackpolanski.bsky.social will. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/o...

Please share! My group at @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social is offering a post-doctoral position (4 years). We look for a structural biologist with experience in Cryo-EM/Cryo-ET to investigate the mechanisms of host invasion by pathogenic fungi. Deadline February 28th! uni-tuebingen.de/universitaet...

trying to read a paper in Wiley's advanced healthcare materials & the blinking GIF adverts are driving me nuts!

This is finally out in J Neuroscience! A micropatterned presynapse-on-glass approach to resolve the nanoscale architecture and function of presynapses www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...

Really excited to share our new paper in @nature.com! We uncovered how a physical instability of the cytoplasm coupled with the cell cycle drives cytoplasmic partitioning in early embryos #zebrafish #drosophila.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Looking for sources for a @nature.com story about how researchers are coping in the midst of current events: If you're a PhD or other academic who's struggling to focus with everything that's happening in the world and would like to be interviewed for this story, please get in touch ASAP!

Are you for real @ukri.org? putting a hold on funding is disastrous decision (especially including young investigators) & that "government knows best what science will fly" is a failure in waiting.

Really pleased with our new 'Hot Paper' published @angewandtechemie.bsky.social. Chemistry in charge of biology! Simple low-molecular-weight gelators with minor modifications in molecular structure direct the growth of stem cells in different ways. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Here’s a problem for Greenland, Denmark, NATO and the USA: 10 years ago US bases were thought of as bringing wealth and security. With Trump II they are perceived as potentially hostile.

I took the liberty of making a video about this case:

"Liebe Unis, ihr müsst nicht heute alles implementieren, nur weil irgendwo KI draufsteht."

If the UK media now do not apply equal harsh measures to Nigel Farage than they did to Angela Raynor, then they are complicit in a) a Mysoginist narrative where men are forgiven and women 'should have known better' and b) are actively saying they are okay with Farage in charge.

🎙️The conference “Forces at Play: Emerging Themes in Mechanobiology – In Memoriam of Professor Michael P. Sheetz” took place over the last three days at the @ijmonod.bsky.social

“Yet even with all this bluster and rancor, it was the rage at a small African nation and the unabashed racism that was truly extraordinary. After speaking for over an hour, Trump took questions from the White House press corps. None of them pressed him on the comments about Somalia or its people”

Hello immunofluorescence hive brain 🔬🧠 Which (covalent) antibody labeling kits work well? We want to co-stain (confocal + FACS) proteins where we have Abs from the same species => Ab labeling 💡. Ideally using a kit that some of you can vouch for... (?) Any input would be very helpful - thanks!

Worth noting - "Both Lipsky and Lincicome [respected US trade policy folk] said that they think it’s unlikely, with the Supreme Court case and other factors, that the tariffs actually kick in Feb. 1." One big reason Europe chooses not to over-react. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

In some large-scale research communities, data roles remain heavily male. In instrument-adjacent data science, just 1 woman in 9, well below the 20–30 % average in data science. What can be done to improve representation and inclusion? #AcademiSky #WomenInScience #WiDS #WomenInDataScience #RSE

He accepted a prize 🥇 that wasn’t his & that anymore “great” would have refused & returned What a twat!

I am sure this will be a great presentation by David @zwickergroup.bsky.social He has an excellent (theoretical) biophysics overview of our field! 21 January, 3 PM CET

Only in Shenzhen: Science Nature coffee bar. If you’ve published in @science.org or @nature.com, they give you coffee for free. 100% real!

podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t... Interesting wide ranging interview and discussion. My take home was 1) in our internet dominated societies an “alternative truth” is only a click away And 2) How can we find common ground again?

Deadline 15tg of January!

I am looking for two postdocs to join our lab - One (bio)image analyst - One cell biologist interested to work on lymphatics! The positions will open soon, be in touch!

very disappointing. There is a code of conduct for Royal Society fellows - it's not a value judgement to say that Musk has contravened it! see relevant bits of code and the Royal Society stated values below.

I want to bully people into making science comics! I just applied to give a comic workshop at @big-stem-network.bsky.social :3 This is one of my favorite workshops, people always surprise me (and themselves) with their creations. Everyone is a storyteller, I am here to remind people of it.

Excited to share Alison's @alisonkickuth.bsky.social paper from the lab out in @nature.com this week! We uncovered how a mechanical ratchet mechanism drives cytokinesis in early #zebrafish embryos.

Was genau ist jetzt der europäische Plan für Grönland?

Aus der Reihe "Was macht eigentlich die FDP so?" heute: Wolfgang Kubicki findet HateAid doof und stellt sich Schulter an Schulter mit dem Trump-Regime gegen die EU und ihre Gesetze zum Schutz der Netznutzer*innen vor Hass und Hetze. 😶

Actually if someone has a nice atmospheric shot of flooded modern city ruins / a subway especially that would also serve.

Nice and good morning & a Merry Christmas you all
