Our next science comic, from the MacFarlane lab, is about macrophages, biopersistent fibres and how this is linked to mesothelioma. Each comic, created with @claudiaflandoli.bsky.social tells a story from the microworld and relates it to real world research. Find out more here: buff.ly/SWp8G4v

On the day we were awarded an #ERCAdG from the @erc.europa.eu, I want to highlight this non-science paper I wrote with ‪@deefitzgerald.bsky.social‬ on research culture: wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/9-341 Why? Because I'm often told we need to chose between excellence and kindness

The British Medical Association taking no prisoners here #TransRights

This is so real lmaoooo "She booked a solo trip to Iceland while you were composing your <<good morning>> text" 😂😂

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

Of the list of departments reported on, not a list that anyone wants to be at the top of @mrc-tu.bsky.social Hopefully real and lasting systemic changes can be made that allow scientists to do what they love in a supportive environment.

Check out this #mesothelioma comic developed by our partners at University of Cambridge. It's a great visual representation of our immune response to #asbestos fibres. Well worth a read! Very well done to all involved @emilyself.bsky.social @davidoloughlin.bsky.social @claudiaflandoli.bsky.social

Mac is on a mission! 🔍 This year @davidoloughlin.bsky.social and I worked with the brilliant @claudiaflandoli.bsky.social to create a comic based on our work on #Mesothelioma 🫁 🧬 ! You can read "Mac and Mission Fibre" and two other comics from our labs at shorturl.at/OkLJq

This year I wrote and illustrated three science comics for the MRC Toxicology Unit in Cambridge: they are available to read for free at www.mrc-tox.cam.ac.uk/public-engag... #SciArt 🐡

On Wednesday this week we hosted our first PREDICT-Meso Young Investigators’ Day in Glasgow. Blown away by the progress and quality of our PhD students & postdocs. The future of #mesothelioma research looks bright! @cruk-si.bsky.social @uofglasgow.bsky.social @djmurphylab2.bsky.social
