Cell biology is producing mountains of microscopy data, usually a given paper got that data for some purpose, but what if you could find relevant data that you could use to answer your own questions? in her new preprint, @marymirvis.bsky.social develops Systematic Review methods to do just that

Congratulations Aidan and Petra, you guys are amazing!!!

Scientists are now organizing events, called Stand Up for Science, on 7 March in Washington, D.C., and state capitals. So far, they have attracted more than 100 volunteers from some 30 states who are hoping to rally support for research as a public good. scim.ag/4328LAD

I just looked at my student loan statement. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT!! So much interest, that thing is never going away. #UK #student

💡 On today's post of #MeetOurLabMembers is Marina @marinakglr.bsky.social, a final-year #PhD student funded by @wellcometrust.bsky.social. Her #research is a multidisciplinary study investigating the transmission and the risk of the Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever #CCHF Virus in #Uganda 🌟

💡 Moses @arimoz3.bsky.social is a PhD student at the #LambertonLab. An #epidemiologist with a background in #parasitology, he's passionate about #populationhealth equity & equality. He has extensive experience in implementation and operational research targeting #NTD control and elimination 🌟

If you missed the webinar for @isntd.bsky.social it is now possible to see the interesting talk on #test and #treat strategies for #schistosomiasis control and #elimination featuring our colleague @lydiatrippler.bsky.social @lamberton-lab.bsky.social www.infontd.org/practical-ma... 🧪

Well done @lydiatrippler.bsky.social

We were in Rwanda at the International Conference on #NTD #Research in #Africa to share and learn more about the ever-growing knowledge on NTDs. #InCORNTD is always a great time meeting with friends and collaborators in the #schistosomiasis 🪱 research space 🧪

This is me!! Check out our lab page!

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Teen Vogue know what’s up

Oh. Trump has been in office one day and is making a terrifying statement on how he is going to run things. Especially on science and gender rights. Urgh. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

There’s a stain on the stairs at my work. I’ve been there for years and it’s always been there. It always makes me think of Freddy Mercury!!

It’s been a long and rewarding year at the Lamberton Lab, and we’re excited to wind down for the holidays 💃🏽💃🕺🏽🕺 ! Wishing everyone a #MerryChristmas 🎄 and a #HappyNewYear 🥳!

Great new paper published in Parasites and Vectors. Looking at distribution of snail vector of #schistosomiasis pre and post snail control treatment. 🧪

Ummmm…

In the past month alone, over 12M people joined Bluesky, with daily active users growing 10x. We received more reports in two days than in all of last year, and have integrated new systems and quadrupled our moderation team to try and keep up. Sometimes, we have to work quickly to correct errors.

This is a really interesting article about the complexities involved in developing a diagnotic test in a global health setting. They highlight that the perceived value and purpose may vary with different stakeholders and settings pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Another great sounding PhD in Edinburgh!! 🧪

Oooh great looking PhD in Edinburgh! 🧪

Oh what a great supervisory team this would be AND a great project!

This is a really interesting read about the gender bias in academia retention - specifically post-PhD. Apparently women are more likely than men to leave as they feel pushed out or disrespected. And this gender gap gets worse with seniority. 🧪

My friend Susan will be doing a super interesting talk at #BES2024. If you are going to the conference go check it out. 🧪

Oooooh what a great line up of speakers for this event on sustaining #schistosomiasis elimination. 🧪

Very cool! 🧪

Prospective PhD students... Please check out this exciting opportunity in Prof. Matt Berriman's lab in Glasgow to investigate how #schistosome eggs interact with tissues of their host to cause #granulomas, co-supervised by yours truly 😊 🪱 🧪 #ImmunoSky www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate...

Okay Bluesky people- there is now an account here for the British Society for Parasitology (BSP) at @bspparasitology.bsky.social!! BSP also has a Facebook group, LinkedIn (private group), X (for the moment), and a webpage at bsp.uk.net/Home! We have so many updates to come- #BSP2025 is coming! 🦠

@bsky.app is there a way to bookmark or save posts for reading later?

I just signed up for this surveillance tool for flu and Covid research.

I love this!

Consent means actively agreeing to be sexual with someone. It ✅ must be freely given ✅ must be explicit in words or actions ✅ must be specific to each act ✅ can be withdrawn at any time Respect boundaries. Support survivors. #EndViolence against women and girls

This sounds like an awesome PhD!

“The academic structure … makes planning for a family feel like an impossible luxury” 🧪

Still a way to go but excellent step in the right direction.
