Holy crap, the excellent @glycojones has a postdoc job available. If you like biology, coding, sugars, and structures - this looks like a great role where you can _really_ enrich existing Alphafold models of extracellular proteins.

Also, York is pretty dope.

There's a tenure-track research position opening at CBIO in Paris. Come work with us on #machineLearning for #biology and #medicine!

I too wish it was a permanent, civil servant position from the get-go... but the position turns into a permanent contract after two years and a very reasonable review process.

Details: https://cbio.mines-paristech.fr/pdf-files/tenure-track-position-cr-artificial-intelligence-for-biology-and-medicine

Feel free to reach out informally if you have any question!

Water companies paid out more than £50bn in dividends to shareholders in the last 30 years. Thames Water is now £14bn in debt and the Government will probably have to bail them out.
Even then they’ll refuse to take the company back into public ownership and will basically give it back to their friends after paying off the debt.
And there’s billions that still needs investing in the water infrastructure itself.
Who ever thought privatising water monopolies was a good idea?

New TG mouse model for #SARSCoV2 infection

"In this study, we report an inducible, transgenic hACE2 mouse line and showcase three examples for specifically expressing hACE2 in three different lung epithelial cells, including AT2 cells, club cells, and ciliated cells. Moreover, all these mice models develop severe pneumonia after SARS-CoV-2 infection."

#Introduction

I am a #NewPI in stem cell & developed tan biology working at the Babraham Institute (Cambridge).
Will tweet about everything related with #devbio and life as an academic scientist.

Very excited that a community is built!

The current structure of science funding would make Max Perutz's work impossible and Perutz unemployed:

"Max, inspired by Bernal's vision that the structure of large and complex molecules such as proteins could be solved using X-ray diffraction, embarked on scaling a mountain in biology—solving the structure of haemoglobin. This was to take him more than 20 years."

Another famous passage from Dale. The ripple and shimmer!

"If 1 gamma of acetylcholine, for example, dissolved in 0.1 cc of Ringer’s solution, is thus injected suddenly into the artery supplying the frog’s gastrocnemius, the surface of the muscle, covered with its glistening aponeurosis, shows immediately the ripple and shimmer of innumerable, unsynchronized contractions, propagated along the fibres and fascicles of the muscle"

Opinion in #TheGuardian : The #car is king in the #US – and #pedestrian deaths are rising. Where is the outrage?

"Pedestrian deaths are at a 40-year high and the number of #cyclists hit by #cars has increased since the pandemic. The most astounding part? These are preventable tragedies" writes Arwa Mahdawi

#IDMastodon #Viralimmunology #Immunology #Cytokinebiology @CytokineSociety The delicate balance of the pro- & anti-inflammatory #cytokine responses that mediate effective clearance of viral titters is crucial for the effective resolution of #COVID19.
#Cytokinestorm results from disrupting this equilibrium, leading to uncontrolled immune cell responses.
