Always love a good Monty Python reference! #wpc2026 #ministryofsillywalks #exerciseandPD

Great talk from Ursula Sandau in the neurology session on sexual dimorphism, #microRNA, and Reelin in #Alzheimer's disease. @doctorjewel.bsky.social @isev.org #ISEV2026 #extracellularvesicles

Appreciate Kathryn Whitehead's introduction mentioning family as her first "startup" and bringing her 9yo daughter with her to the conference. 🙌 Let's normalize what life as a working mom in science looks like! #isev2026 @isev.org #extracellularvesicles #rna #lipidnanoparticles

Made it to #ISEV2026 ! @isev.org #extracellularvesicles

Over the weekend ICE abducted an NIH contractor when he showed up to a courthouse for his green card hearing. He is documented. His wife is a citizen. He is also member of the skeleton crew of animal care staff that works through a shutdown, to ensure the health and wellbeing of research animals.

Listen to more classical music. For every like, I shall recommend a good recording. (I'm going to regret this, aren't I?)

Lovely talk from Ursula Sandau. Love to see sex differences explored in #AlzheimersDisease research, and thorough follow-up of miR target analysis. @doctorjewel.bsky.social #ADPD2025 #extracellularvesicles #extracellularRNA

Nice talk by Erez Eitan at Neurodex on neuron derived EVs from plasma. #ADPD2025 #extracellularRNA #extracellularvesicles

Excited to be at #ADPD2025 in Vienna, which is my first conference over here on Bluesky.

I just wanted to know where I messed up my YAML file and now I am maintaining a new package. github.com/nh13/ruamel_...

Lovely! A little bit earlier was Margaret Dayhoff’s Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure. It has all the sequences printed together 😉 and some lovely structures, the definition of mutation data matrices and sequence databases. 1st edition was 1965

40 years ago all of Genbank was published in print form by NAR. The same format today would require over 4 light seconds of shelf space. To a year of progress in 2025.

Huge performance update in today’s dorado v0.9.1 release on Ampere 8.6/8.7 & Ada Lovelace 8.9 nvidia GPUs with up to 2x increase in throughput with hac calling and 3x sup! 🚀 Plus a whole bunch of updates for dorado polish and the odd misc bug fix. github.com/nanoporetech...

🎄 New Dorado release (v0.9.0) – and it's big! 🚀 Dorado polish command (experimental) for improving draft assemblies – faster & more accurate than Medaka ⚡ Faster modified base calling models 🔧 Usability & accuracy improvements: PolyA, Barcoding, 6mA calling github.com/nanoporetech...

A study in Nature reports that the distinctive pattern of scales on the face and jaws of crocodiles is formed by a precise mechanical process of skin folding. https://go.nature.com/4ffbM3l 🧪

"Publishers selling papers to train AIs" was perhaps not the direction I was hoping to see the already questionable scientific publishing scheme take 🧪 🌍 #AcademicSky #WomenInSTEM www.nature.com/articles/d41...
