#introduction I am Peggy Wei, an #NewPI (3 years old) at #DKFZ . I am also a mother with two children, and a cooking lover. We use #omics and #mousemodel to understand genome integrity and somatic mosaicism in the developing #brain. Other interests include but not limited to #neuropsychiatric disorders , #cancer origin, DNA #replication, #CNV, and #singlemolecule view of DNA damage. I transferred from the other server (@braingenome@scicomm.xyz) because I feel closer to genomics.

I'm a #neuroscientist in Singapore using #zebrafish to understand appetite control and gut-brain signaling pathways. Check out my lab at www.carolineweelab.com. My other hobbies are hanging out with my two cats, rock climbing, and swimming, but the former is to me wayyy more fun than the latter two :blobcat_pat: New to this app and still rather confused, but happy to try out something new!

POSTDOC alert: We're looking for a postdoctoral scientist to join our lab at Dartmouth! We study the neural basis of perception, memory, and neurodiversity using fMRI + VR.

Hello everyone! 👋
It's time for an #introduction !

I'm currently a postdoc in the Department of Biochemistry #Cambridge.
Previously, I studied (PhD+postdoc) #mitochondria #RNA #translation at the MRC Mitochondrial Biology Unit #Cambridge

I use wet and dry lab methods #genetics #genomeengineering #biochemistry #structuralbiology #cryoEM to address unsolved biological mysteries 👀

Outside of the lab, you can find me baking, doing photography, ceramics, oil painting and/or taking care of plants.

OK, guess it's time.

:ablobwave: I'm Roby, I'm an ID doc at Mass General Hospital in Boston, and a PI with a lab at the Broad Institute that studies antibiotic resistance; and transcriptomics as a comprehensive, quantitative way to understand phenotype of microbes & immune systems under stress; and leverages that for molecular diagnostic development.

Pro: open science, nerdy paper summaries, dad jokes, tennis, coffee, vaccines, kindness, equity, sleep.

Con: AMR, pandemics.

#Introduction: I am curious about how proteins and membranes work in cells to deliver cargos. Multidisciplinary lab (with great collaborators) at UMass Chan Medical School #MembraneTraffic #Biochemistry #StructuralBiology #CryoEM #Biophysics #CellBiology #Genetics #Immunology
Also passionate to increase diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging in #Science #Academia.

Reposting this, this time with a view of where your office will be ...

#Introduction. I'm a neurotechnologist and neuroscientist at Imperial College London (where I am Professor of Neurotechnology in the Dept of Bioengineering). My research focuses on understanding the neural coding of memory, and how it is impaired in memory disorders. Towards these goals I also develop new tools for neuroscience (multiphoton, data analysis, mouse behaviour etc). Outside science I'm into cycling (particularly gravel). #neuroscience #neurotechnology

Great NYT feature on Octavia Butler

“I’m a writer at least partly because I had access to public libraries,” she later reflected.
“I am also a product of librarians who read stories to groups of avid little kids.”

Very much looking forward to the ''Recognizing Preprint Peer Review' event organized by @ASAPbio, HHMI and EMBO on December 1 and 2 janelia.org/you-janelia/confer. Make sure to sign up for online participation if you're interested in preprinting, preprint peer review and new approaches to recognizing and evaluating researchers and their work!

A bacterial driver of arthritis?

Autoantibodies are detected in people at risk for rheumatoid arthritis before development of clinical disease. The source of these autoantibodies is unclear.

“A bacterial strain from the Subdoligranulum genus associated with autoantibody development was identified. Mice colonized with this Subdoligranulum isolate developed arthritis…”

Jusqu'ici tout va bien

"With current global emission rates of 35 to 40 billion metric tons of CO2 each year, we may get our first glimpses of ice-free Septembers in the next 20 to 25 years, when we will have added another 800 billion metric tons to the atmosphere. Yet it does not stop there. Other months of the year will become ice-free with additional atmospheric CO2. For example, with another 1,800 billion metric tons of CO2, the Arctic will likely have no ice from July through October."

#Introduction I am an immunologist and science communicator. My research encompasses a few fields so my interests pretty wide- infection, microbiome, pollution and immunology-technically I am a barrier immunologist. I also feel strongly science is something everyone should be able to access and understand the basics so that they can make informed decisions and make a difference to their lives and my public engagement work tries to embody that with a co-production approach throughout.

”The disproportionate scientific productivity of elite researchers can be largely explained by their substantial labor advantage rather than inherent differences in talent.” scim.ag/AV

"Weybridge has always been a central resource of facilities and people. It has been placed in a perilous position by underfunding and crumbling facilities," he said. "Without support it is increasingly unlikely the UK could cope with another major outbreak of animal or zoonotic disease along with the ongoing avian influenza epidemic."

"A major challenge is that relatively few enhancers are functionally characterized in vivo, making it difficult to draw generalized conclusions about enhancer-promoter looping during developmental gene activation. Here, we investigate the 3D conformation of enhancers during mammalian development by generating high-resolution tissue-resolved contact maps for nearly a thousand mammalian enhancers with known in vivo activities in ten murine embryonic tissues. We performed enhancer knockouts in mice, which validated newly identified enhancer-promoter chromatin interactions. "

#introduction time!

Hi! I am Kees (he/him). I am a prof of theoretical #biophysics and dean of our dept. The birdsite opened my eyes to different experiences and perspectives of people very different from myself, and more than anything else I hope to continue learning and discussing about these here.

I am also a parent, a husband, a runner, and a talentless but persistent #bass player.

Oh and I love lame jokes. I am not kidding folks they are the literal worst 100% would not recommend.

Hello👋 I’m a research fellow and psychiatrist at the University of Cambridge. I work on interactions between the immune system, brain and behaviour esp using #ImmunoGenetics approaches. Interested in #biomarker discovery in psychiatry. Looking forward to discussions on here! #genomics #immunopsychiatry #neuroscience #neuroimmunology #introduction

Last week I heard a speech by Prof. Dame Sarah Gilbert. She of the Oxford vaccine. A woman whose team's work is calculated to have saved several million lives. She warned that Britain's dismal failure to remember, learn and expand on the hard fought achievements of the last few years placed us back to square one when (not if) it happened again.

This piece is a depressing demonstration of that.
