I have two post-doctoral positions open in my lab @MRC_LMB to use biochemical reconstitution & structural biology to understand mRNA processing.
I am looking for candidates with experience in structural techniques or high-throughput sequencing. We provide training and a supportive team environment that is a lot of fun!

The Node

#Introduction

Hi #ScienceMastodon. #the_Node is a community site for #devbio and #stemcell researchers, home to the Node Network, a global directory for our community.

We’ll be tooting behind the paper stories, #sciart, resources, jobs, events and more – all the good stuff shared by our community. We’re also excited to get involved in the #devbiol chat here!

Toots by our Community Manager @helenzsci and the rest of the Node team @amjeve and Katherine Brown.

Halloween Pennant dragonflies (Celithemis eponina) are one of my favorite insects to photograph. Sometimes they allow you photograph them for hours. #dragonfly #dragonflies #Odonata #Illinois #nature #photography #wildlifephotography

He usually came to lectures without any notes. When he was doing mathematics on the blackboard he often made mistakes and sometimes got muddled.

From the way in which Maxwell tried to disentangle and correct his mistakes Lamb learned more than from any textbooks he ever read.

@Neurograce archive.org/details/analogvlsi is the book describing how to use CMOS electronic circuits to directly "emulate" (as opposed to "simulate") neural networks using the physics of transistors. Some of us in the #neuromorphic field are still following that approach.

@albertcardona love seeing these. Swallowtails are quite common out on the islands where we live. Here a happy bunch of larvae munching away!

Not a wasp, but beautiful nonetheless! Memoirs of a summer by the sea.

Gosh, the hashtags on here are great for finding new people to follow (and not overwhelming like Twitter). #neuroscience #genetics #epilepsy 👍

To all mastodon admins:

Hi! I’m Evan Phoenix, the primary author of puma, the ruby webserver that powers mastodon!

Please reply or DM me if you need tuning help! I’ve got no officiation with the mastodon, just want to see you succeed!

(Quick Tip: set WEB_CONCURRENCY to core count * 1.5 and then tune MAX_THREADS. High thread values will see diminishing returns!)

A Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui) in honour of today's #MastodonMigration event. These nomadic butterflies embark on a multi-generational odyssey between tropical Africa and northern Europe each year - the longest known migration of any butterfly!

On dead ants ... their mandibles and bodies can endure a lot. Here is another unidentified dead ant, mandibles clasping onto the leg of a masked bee (who knew ants and bees battle?). The dead ant served as a natural marker for this one particular bee, which I was able to recognize over the course of multiple days on the same mint flowers.

And differences in size are also the norm. Not only among ant castes of the same species, but particularly among different species! Here we see a desert ant (a relatively large ant for Europe) carrying a tiny dead one still clasping its mandibles on its antenna, marching on unfazed at full speed among the pebbles of a Croatian beach.

Differences between males and females are the norm among ants. This male ant is tiny at 3 millimetres long. For the longest time, I had not the foggiest idea what this was other than a wasp-like animal. Thanks to the iNaturalist community it was identified.

Male ants are a rare sight, emerging only at the right season and only for a brief period of time. It is said that most die shortly after mating.

Have you ever seen ants mating? 

Right on the windshield of our car, this past summer. The male is indeed tiny. Crummy photo, was as spontaneous and unplanned as it gets: at a traffic light!

Lasius sp. (likely but unconfirmed) inaturalist.org/observations/1 There are more photos at the entry.
