It’s 1879. You have purchased Dicken’s Dictionary of London. You start to read it as you take the underground train home. Here are some highlights. Sit back & enjoy….

I think we should ditch materials and methods altogether and just append actual protocols for each image with edits/comments about tweaks and adjustments as needed. Each protocol would get an individual doi linked to the paper.

There, I fixed science.

“I think one of my "favourite" things in science is following a protocol published by others and finding out it doesn't work in our hands. So it takes multiple rounds of trial and error and controls to figure out what's wrong. And making things work can take months or years.”

Our friend made the assertion that In-n-Out is overrated. So as scientists on a stormy day, we needed to test this properly (with options w/in our neighborhood).

Let me say up front we regretted this almost as soon as we started. 1/

Tweeps, does anyone have a good suggestion for an N-cadherin antibody? Or a cadherin IF protocol tip that is going to solve all of our problems?

We got one from @CellSignal (whom we trust) but the IF staining in our cells (which should express it based on RNA) looks funny.

We will receive a $1M grant for CRISPR4ALL, a program of popularizing indexed forward genetics in academia. Researchers can apply to come over and do their favorite CRISPR screen in our lab. I've got the money, do you have the time?

New @ArcadiaScience job alert! This is one I think many have been waiting for. It’s an open search for a project scientist (someone who can pitch & lead projects leveraging internal strengths & their own interests)👇

Arcadia Science - Project Scientist

A Bit About Us We are Arcadia Science. Arcadia is a for-profit biology research and development company founded and led by scientists. Our mission is to transform evolutionary innovations into real-world solutions by openly developing more efficient, replicable, and sustainable ways to leverage the biology of diverse organisms. Open Search This posting is for an open search. At Arcadia, an open search (as opposed to an “active search”) means that we see a need for this role in the organization but without a specific timeline in mind. As such, this process is intentionally open-ended, and promising candidates should expect a dialogue with the organization about scientific opportunities and mutual fit. The needs and expectations described here may evolve as we have these conversations. The timeline of these searches is highly variable. The Opportunity Within Arcadia’s new scientific framework, we have two general buckets: dynamic projects and a centralized platform. Projects are fluid

Imagine you could stain whole adult mice with standard IgG antibodies. What you couldn't do! We present wildDISCO technology for this🤗, creating the first whole body vascular, lymphatic, and nerve atlases.

Repeating/retweeting this just in case last Friday evening wasn’t the best time to announce a job vacancy.
