@artologica today’s mood for sure!
A sleepy #Squirrel of the Day for June 22, 2023 #squirrels #WildlifePhotography

I often wish there was a Mastodon instance for biologists that could be broad enough to include all the different types of biologists that I enjoy interacting with.

Biologists are friendly and interesting people and I'd love it if we had an easier way to find and connect with each other.

Academic hyperbole:

When did "cutting edge" become "bleeding edge”? Why is “state-of-the-art” no longer sufficient so that we must now be working “beyond state-of-the-art”. Don’t forget that we can no longer be "world leading”, we must be "world beating”. Makes me wonder what's next?

@clathrin “our research into [system X] will yield insights that are greater than the sum of its parts”
and if I convinced even one person who came by my poster that our cells’ endomembrane network is a fascinating self-organising system that is important to understand because it underpins a number of diseases with complex molecular pathophysiology, I’ll call that a #WarwickUni Postgrad Research Symposium success!
…especially how the 1000s of tiny Intracelluar Nanovesicles described by @roylelab fit into our cells’ #membranetraffcking system. So many exciting research questions still to tackle!

Sahil Kamboj from our collaborator Ambroise Lambert’s lab showed us how @roylelab’s favourite tools can be used to develop probes to tackle key questions for understanding the #tumour microenvironment. The #clem + endocytosis hot-wiring in spheroids were amazing 🤩

It’s been a joy to follow my DTP colleague + friend Will Scott’s journey on using genetic code expansion + #clickchemistry to develop new tools for imaging #actin. I’m looking forward to seeing this probe in cells soon! #cellbiology

🧵Lots of inspiring science #WarwickUni over the last two days! ✨
Iva Tolić reminded us of the beauty of self-organising systems across scales in #biology and motivated us to continue in our efforts to understand them 👩‍🔬 #womeninSTEM
@cellysally such a nice idea! We occasionally have watch parties for online membrane trafficking seminars with another one of @roylelab’s latest trends/obsession of bubble tea🧋

Get the #EDBCWatchParty Started!

If you can’t attend the European Developmental Biology Congress #EDBC2023 in person this September, why not organise a local Watch Party?
