I love biology and teaching people about what is happening in cells. I also am really interested in microscopy.
I also like cats, horses and horseback riding, fish keeping (I have two aquariums), video games-particularly the Half-Life franchise and Half Life mods, and I have recently gotten into VR (NOT META!) so if you want to chat about any of these topics that would be great!

As someone who entered research as an "aged person" , when journals and departments talk about young scientists I feel like I don't count. I have been technically doing science through my education and career. But with regard to research, I am new. FYI I went to grad school in my 40s. I feel like I have no future.
For my fellow scientists, do you, or have you felt, that you don't belong in science?

There are few soil organisms more wonderful than Pseudoscorpions, it's always a joy to find one when I'm out with my camera!
This stout little murder machine is a compost chernes (Pselaphochernes scorpioides), found on decaying leaves in an open compost heap.

I love this cat so much. So photogenic and playful!

My partner surprised me with an advent calendar and I can't stop laughing 😂

In the USA, the NIH budget is about five times the NSF budget. We "sneak" basic science in, under cover of justifying the work as bettering human health. Maybe this needs to be rethought.

Hello #sciencemastodon. I’m the Executive Editor of @J_Cell_Sci. I’m relatively new to the position (having been an Editor at @Dev_journal for years) so I’m here to find out about all things #cellbio (and maybe some #devbio 😊). Any suggestions on who or what to follow?

Well, I guess I'm looking for work again! Force reductions just before Christmas. 5 years of service, big features built and released, internal awards won, and it all ends with a Zoom call. Awesome.
Anyone hiring ex-principal software engineers/architects/devmgrs who're excited about distributed identity?
If you could boost I'd appreciate it! I think making a connection on the Fediverse would be sweet.
