Hello Mastodon 🦣 #Introduction! I’m Oliver (Oli) Jones. I'm a professor of analytical chemistry at RMIT University, in Melbourne Australia. I help develop new analytical technologies and using them to track pollutants in the environment and assess their effects using a biochemistry technique called metabolomics. I work in the intersection of analytical, biochemical and environmental chemistry and am also keen on #scicomm. I am teaching myself #Rstats as a hobby and am a keen runner.

"Ronald Hare, a bacteriologist at Queen Charlotte’s Hospital in London, worked on GAS in the 1930s, a time when they regularly killed women who had just given birth and developed puerperal fever. He collaborated with Lancefield to prove that GAS was the killer. On 16 January 1936 he pricked himself with a sliver of glass contaminated with a GAS. After a day or two his survival was in doubt.

His boss, Leonard Colebrook, had started to evaluate Prontosil, a red dye made by I.G. Farben that prevented the death of mice infected with GAS. He gave it to Hare by IV infusion and by mouth. It turned him bright pink. He was visited in hospital by Alexander Fleming, a former colleague. Fleming said to Hare’s wife: ‘Hae ye said your prayers?’ But Hare made a full recovery."

Our latest: Cis-regulatory strategies for morphogen dependent cell fate decisions

Two ways CREs interpret morphogens
1. Differential binding: CREs bind cell type TFs
2. Differential access: availability of CREs is cell type specific

The German botanist Johannes Karl Albert Winkler, who failed Greek lessons, coined "genome" on the pattern of "chromosome" but forgot the "s":

Chromo-some: Color-body (shows up when stained)
Gen-ome: Gene-[nonsense suffix]

Stick that in your meme-ome.

@KimHaz7 It's still a thing (but definitely better than a decade ago).

@Odedrechavi Let's just say that if I see an old guy on a bot full of animals floating by the house, I'm skipping to the last 10 pages of the novel I'm reading.

It's important to clearly outline the goals of the project:

"Objective: To evaluate the frequency of snoozing, schmoozing, perusing, and boozing among attendees at an international conference."

How to Read an Aztec "Comic": Indigenous Knowledge, Mothers' Bodies, and Tamales in the Pot

This visual text represents some of the content from the article, Women, Childbirth, and the Sticky Tamales: Nahua Rhetoric and Worldview in the Glyphic Codex Borgia, by Felicia Lopez. Through the use of comic book conventions, readers are guided through the decipherment of logographic writing from Central Mexico and, in the process, are shown how colonization has limited our contemporary understanding of ancient Indigenous people. By offering reinterpretations of glyphs that reveal the cultural knowledge of women, this guided reading of a codex image paints a picture of Aztecs and other Indigenous people as intelligent, complex, and inventors of their own unique writing systems.
