💥 Great fun writing this #review with @alejotorrescano.bsky.social – reflecting on the emergence of #pancreatic #lineages in the #embryo through the lens of #plasticity - Just out online ➡️ rdcu.be/fiw3c @wellcometrust.bsky.social @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social @kingslsm.bsky.social

A two-shelled snail that turns green because it's absorbing chloroplasts from the algae that it feeds on. 'Life,' as the famous scientist said, '... uh... finds a way.'

I don’t really have the words to describe the generational damage that is happening in UK universities - so much lost potential.

The Hoffman Lab at Yale is hiring! We’re currently recruiting for a Lab Manager and Post-Graduate Research Associate positions. If you're interested in understanding the function of neurodevelopmental disorder genes in the developing brain using #zebrafish, we'd love to hear from you! #researchjobs

Some useful public speaking tips from Freud here.

When Einstein developed general relativity the closest thing to a practical application that could even be imagined at the time was a slightly more precise description of where to look for the planet Mercury in the sky, and yet now we’d all be literally lost without it. Anyway: fund basic research.

To be fair, academics are mostly obsessed with flagellating their colleagues, not their actual selves.

Without arguing on the necessity of all this, the implementation is totally unprofessional. Complete lack of clarity, zero transparency. Are we to think that no winners will be announced till the end of 2027? And that we are doing all this to make the UK more competitive? Is it a joke?

We're hiring! The Hoffman lab at Yale is recruiting for Post-Doctoral Associate and Post-Graduate Associate positions available immediately. Join us! www.hoffmanlab.net/jobs #zebrafish #zebrafishjobs

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

Very concerning news. Weird that no major UK news outlet is reporting on this.

🤣

Clear vision of leadership, without rambling and shouting.

This gives you some idea of how little we know about the oceans. This species of sea star has been seen only once in over a century.

It's crazy that a German city goes in total panic (empty shelves in supermarkets, childcare facilities working at limited capacity, people not showing up at work) for a couple of centimeters of snow. www.n-tv.de/regionales/b...

When you finally manage to convince yourself to stop buying books till the pile of unread ones is at least half tall, the Princeton University Press decides to have a 70% sale.

'Doublethink' means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them. […]. ― George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four #BookSky

Bertrand Russell, at 89 years old, to Sir Oswald Mosley, a man most famous for founding, in 1932, the British Union of Fascists. I'm all for civil discourse. But everyone can and should draw a line at who they will talk to. Notice that Russell did not demean himself with incivility, either.

The Guardian is usually a decent news outlet, but time by time they come out with this sort of articles.

Reality catching up with Black Mirror.

I'm going to have nightmares tonight 😱

ohh South Park!🤣

Happy 107th Birthday, Brenda Milner! Her contributions to neuropsychology shaped the way we understand the human brain. From surviving two world wars and two pandemics, to paving the way for future generations of researchers, Milner’s legacy continues. @mcgill.ca @cusm-muhc.bsky.social

Congrats to @stednitz.bsky.social and Andrew Lesak on their @currentbiology.bsky.social paper! They use HMM to identify two interaction states in #zebrafish: one visual for long-range interactions and one lateral line for quick, close interactions. Free link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lCYh3QW8S...

So if you go anywhere near some fool who is wearing these gadgets, your image, behaviour and voice will be used by Meta to train their skanky AI. How on earth is this compatible with EU and UK privacy laws?? www.macrumors.com/2025/04/30/m...

Here is another reminder to be very careful when traveling to the other side of the pond 😱 www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/27/m...

I wonder when tech billionaires are going to stop naming their commercial products after famous academics who don't have a say on these decisions since they have been long dead.

“We are almost ready for the test flight. All we need is the license." ...in Germany that may take much longer than developing and building the rocket 😂

Wow! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

From the looks I'm getting lately, I think that this is how students in the lab see me going back to the bench for doing a couple of experiments 😂

Fed up with Meta? Avoiding Instagram or Facebook isn’t enough to stop Meta from harvesting and profiting from your private information. Here’s how to limit Meta’s ability to monetize your personal data.
