🧪 Happy #conference Day Everyone and Welcome to #biologists100! I’ll be reporting on fantastic science for @the-node.bsky.social so if you see me with a microphone, please come say hi!

I’m excited to attend the @biologists.bsky.social Biologists@100 next week. With @prelights.bsky.social, I’m collating a preList of all preprints at the conference. If you’re coming with a #preprint of your own, make sure I don’t miss it here: forms.gle/JYiTFj8iSUcT... #biologists100

I absolutely love this beginners guide to scientific conferences by @jens-cells.bsky.social. It's not only useful for beginners either- there is lots of great advice even for those of us who have been attending conferences since the last millenium. thenode.biologists.com/the-beginner...

Not long until #biologists100! We made a short video with @prelights.bsky.social & @focalplane.bsky.social to guide you through the practicalities of the conference: 🎥 thenode.biologists.com/a-practical-... And if this is your first time attending a conference, check out Jen's useful guide 👇

🧪Attending your first scientific #conference? Thinking about what to pack, or just looking to make sure you prepared all the essentials? Have a look at The Beginner’s Guide to Scientific Conferences I got to publish for @the-node.bsky.social, out now! ☺️☺️ thenode.biologists.com/the-beginner...

Attending #biologists100 in Liverpool? We’ve put together a pre-conference recording together with @the-node.bsky.social and @prelights.bsky.social. And @jens-cells.bsky.social has published a general conference guide on the Node to help you prep! focalplane.biologists.com/2025/03/17/b...

A very hard decision 🙈 but choosing a favourite will help them feature at #biologists100!!

Cells “speed date” to find their perfect neighbors when forming tissues. This marks a pivotal step in creating functional organs, like in this early heart development illustrated in a fly larvae. Learn more: www.cell.com/biophysj/ful... @timesaunders.bsky.social @biophysj.bsky.social

With less than 2 weeks to go to #biologists100, I’ve been thinking about what to pack - and how to bring my poster! What are the must-have items you never attend without? Are you Team Poster Tube or Team Canvas? Help first-timers prepare! #AcademicTravel#SciComm #[email protected]

Ever heard of scientific 'Photo Gallery' articles? 📷🧪 I hadn't either—until the Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America asked me to make one! Love this concept of visual storytelling. Let’s gooo! ✨ #SciArt esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Happy #InternationalWomensDay!! It was my first time celebrating by marching for women’s rights and safety, and the most memorable by far!

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! To celebrate, we're sharing photos of some of the talented and dedicated women who work across IRR as researchers, technicians, students and professional service staff. We're very proud to work alongside you all!

Join us at Biologists @ 100 in Liverpool in 2025 to discuss fantastic science, meet friends old and new and be part of our sustainability journey. Hear from Holly Shiels (Organising Committee Chair) about our plans. #biologists100 youtu.be/yQ_VY86zVtg

✊ #ScienceIsPeople 🧪 People all over the world The University of Bordeaux joins the Stand up For Science movement, which warns of the US offensive against research institutions, and invites its scientific communities to express their support on the occasion of the 07/03 movement #StandUpForScience

New year, new goals! 🤩 what’s the best way for a recent graduate to transition to scientific journalism in 2025? (Not asking for a friend)

🧪Getting ready for #biologists100; what’s the best way to prepare? 🤔 Conference Survival Guide Needed! 📝 If you could give ONE piece of advice to a first-time attendee, what would it be? Let’s help the newcomers thrive! ✨ #SciComm #ConferenceTips #AcademicLife #AcademicSky @the-node.bsky.social

Really excited to be part of a new team of Science Reporters for the upcoming Biologist@100 conference hosted by @biologists.bsky.social celebrating 100 years of supporting science! So nice to meet the whole team today!🤩👩🏾‍🔬 #scicomms
