PSC research is challenging, but progress is happening faster than ever. There are now more clinical trials testing potential treatments than ever. Every study brings us closer to better care and, one day, a cure. 👉 buff.ly/33bSrx4 #LetsBeatPSC #PSCResearch

Unbelievable! How can this crap still be published?

On my way to the @daphnejacksontr.bsky.social Fellows meeting in York today. Looking forward to being surrounded by #researchreturners and our supporters. Check out the Daphne Jackson Starter Pack go.bsky.app/H7CNqBF

Follow up poo question from a #PooTrivia quizzer: what happened if wombats got constipated please.  Do they produce much smaller, square cubes?  Does they poo stop being cubes and become sperical or longer?  Is this not an issue for wombats, due to their diet?

Some pics from our annual lab autumn walk! We went to the lovely Blenheim palace to get some steps in & enjoy the autumn leaves🍁🚶‍♀️🌳

We had a fab time running The Gut Florists stall at Green Man Festival! From talking all things microbiome, painting gut microbes, making bacterial pom-poms, or doing microbe word searches, we had something for everyone & loved chatting to you!🧫💐🦠🌼 @britsocimm.bsky.social @greenmanfest.bsky.social

More people than ever in the UK are waiting for a life-saving organ transplant. For those living with PSC, there’s no cure or effective treatment. Nearly half will need a liver transplant. Register your decision with @NHSOrganDonor today. www.organdonation.nhs.uk #WorldOrganDonationDay #LetsBeatPSC

Location in the digestive tract matters! 💩 microbiota ≠ duodenal microbiota As our understanding of the effect of the #microbiome in #PSC grows, it beomes more nuanced. #LetsBeatPSC #primarysclerosingcholangitis

A great oportunity for people with primary sclerosing cholangitis to participate in a faecal microbiome transplant study. #microbiome #FMT #LetsBeatPSC

Well this is getting a bit meta #irl

Today my #happydance moment was when I clicked "Find full text" on my entire @zotero.org library and it took about 9.73 seconds to bring me the full text PDFs of most of my bibliography. Just like that. #researchlife

1. Yesterday, 86 people were arrested in the UK under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action." They are the opposite of terrorists. They were protesting *against* terrorism. 🧵

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

Me too Séamas, me too.
