My colleague Amanda Montañez curated this neat highlights collection of 2022 Scientific American graphics. #SciComm #InfoDesign #DataViz https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-most-compelling-science-graphics-of-2022/

How small can you make a #genetics session?

Mendel, pea plant, dominance in the F1 and segregation in the F2. All in one stamp.

So this morning @elonjet was banned from #Twitter. This afternoon the personal account of the guy who set it up was also banned. Guess #ElonMusk has a personal ban button set up now. More #TwitterMigration incoming.

@jobsecoevo

New here on Mastodon. My group at University of Virginia studies #devbio and #evodevo of adult traits in #zebrafish and other species, mostly pigment pattern and scales. Also work on skeleton, postembryonic stem cells, behavior, natural history, other topics. Always looking for new weird stuff.

Chilling reporting in the Washington Post about trans people targeted by the government in Texas.

Texas attorney general Paxton asked for a list of names of everyone who had changed their gender on their license.

How is visual #perception 👀 different from visual #memory 💭?

Computational constraints limit the precision of reactivated memories in visual cortex.

#Introduction

Hello! I'm a #PhD student in #microbiology, and I'm excited to join #ScienceMastodon and the broader #Fediverse. I love the culture of respectful alt-text, content warnings, and post visibility.

When I introduce myself to scientists, I describe myself as either an evolutionary cell biologist, a microbial ecologist, or non-model organism geneticist. I'm going to write up some threads about my work soon.

Let's raise the standard for vibrant and inclusive science 💪

Just a gorgeous piece of technology development:

Deep scanning mutagenesis approach to understanding protein folding stability, using an in vitro translation system that appends a cDNA tag to each protein in the system.

From lead author Kotaro Tsuboyama, UW Institute for Protein Design alum Gabriel Rocklin, and colleagues.

Hello! I'm a microbiologist and cell biologist at the University of Washington. I've worked on both basic biology using yeast as a model system, and on the mechanisms of bacterial infection.

I love cells, genetics, microscopy, and biochemistry, and I'm also a fan of film & digital photography, bikes, hikes, and gardening.

My nephews and nieces call me Uncle Eeyore.

Hello! 👋🏽

I study the human brain and behavior. I love thinking about memory and perception and sharing papers on these topics.

I am also passionate about making academia a better place. The two most important things I have written:

My story of mental illness and the importance of mental health support: https://storiesinscience.org/2019/06/12/studying-and-experiencing-mental-illness/

My article on how faculty can make labs more supportive for their students: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-06167-w

#Introduction
Moving to zirk.us!
I'm a prof at a university in the Great Lakes region. I started as a researcher but shifted focus to grad training/teaching & directing a large biology PhD program. I wear hearing aids for tinnitus.
#AmWriting a historical romcom WIP.
I post about equity in #academia, books (esp. Jane Austen and other #romance), music (esp. 80's), movies/tv, and pets. Also jokes of varying quality and occasional poll tournaments for charity.
Here to play nice and make friends. :)

Peergatory (noun): the period of suffering while waiting for peer reviews

#introduction - I’m an evolutionary microbiologist interested in microbiomes, AMR & lungs. I’m currently a research fellow in Oxford Biology and Magdalen College. I did my PhD on bacterial genetics during nitrogen fixation, and I’m now working on how bacteria evolve antibiotic resistance and interact in the lungs. Just submitted a pre-print to BioRxiv… which I’m excited to share!
