PhD in Cell Biology
Currently a Postdoc in Anatomy and Cell Biology at the University of Iowa
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!

On Hwy 218 near Riverside. This may help explain the Captain's need for speed later in life.

Would you like to learn from some of the best microscopists 🔬 the nuts & bolts of light #microscopy for #lifescience applications? If so, you should check out this free comprehensive #iBiology series with presentations by #RonVale @kurtthorn #NicoStuurman #StefanHell #DanielFletcher #JeffLichtman #EdwardSalmon #ShinyaInoue #RogerTsien & many more covering topics ranging from #imagingformation, #fluorescence, #superresolution & #lightsheet #microscopy to #Optogenetics 👉 https://www.ibiology.org/online-biology-courses/microscopy-series/

Standing next to mum watching a squirrel on the deck eating an apple I put out yesterday.
Mum: "do they eat apples?"
Me: "well, yeah...I mean, he's literally eating it right now"
Mum: "well, I wasn't sure they did"
Me: "Mum, they eat McDonald's fries what makes you think they wouldn't eat an apple" 😂

@georgetakei did you hear you’re now the most followed account on here? And therefore the anti Elon?
Just learned that I will be transitioning into an associate research scientist position in the biology department at University of Iowa! Really excited for the next step in my career!
@disinfodocket So much for freedom of speech

At this 3rd anniversary of the start of the pandemic I’d like to thank the scientists, health and social care workers, and essential front line workers who saved millions. Many literally owe you their lives. It’s rare that I ask this but please consider reblog/boost to spread gratitude. I will never forget or forgive those who spread anti-science ignorant disinformation. Usually for financial and/or political objectives. And it continues. Vigilance is still needed. Greetings from Switzerland.

Research grants are supposed to help move science forward, but are they actually just holding it back?
@gringene estimated that the collective amount of time institutions pay researchers to sink into grant applications can be more costly than the award money itself — if they even get the award, which most do not.
How much greater could our collective knowledge be if scientists never had to apply for grants?
