Earnest #introduction incoming!
I'm a #parasitologist (previously: #virologist) working in London on the #apicomplexan #parasite #Cryptosporidium. I do cell biology, make #organoids, and think a lot about host-pathogen interactions, as well as the evolution thereof!
I care about a lot of things. Occasionally I do #standup #comedy about them in exchange for free drinks and self-esteem.
Learning to balance silliness w science will be the death of me/my career. Let's see which one happens first!
#ScienceMastodon ASAPbio are running a survey ahead of their Recognizing #Preprint #PeerReview meeting. Help to inform the discussion by telling them your experience with posting, receiving, and reusing public feedback on preprints. 5 minute survey.

We curated and analysed thousands of benchmarks -- to better understand the (mis)measurement of AI! 📏🤖🔬
We cover all of #NLProc and #ComputerVision.

"La llamada Oficina C —por la letra inicial de ciencia y congreso— es una iniciativa de la Cámara Baja y la Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología (FECYT). El nuevo equipo, formado por ocho personas asesoradas por algunos de los mejores investigadores de España, recoge la evidencia científica sobre temas candentes y la sintetiza para los diputados. "

Profiling thymic macrophage.
"Here, we characterized the surface phenotype and transcriptional profile of these cells and defined their expression signature. Thymic macrophages were most closely related to spleen red pulp macrophages and Kupffer cells and shared the expression of the transcription factor SpiC with these cells."
"Influential groups established close bonds with the Creation Research Institute in the United States and creationism found its way into textbooks in the mid-1980s. Cult leader Harun Yahya came to the fore during the following decade, leading a well-funded campaign to spread ‘intelligent design’ concepts at home and abroad. The situation further hardened in the early 2000s when the AKP won its first elections."
"Here, we identify viral kinetics and pathological consequences following atraumatic intranasal (I.N.)-only administration of a high dose, genetically well-characterised stock of the SARS-CoV-2/Victoria-01 strain isolated early in the pandemic26 in one Old World (Macaca fascicularis, cynomolgus macaque), two New World NHP species (Callithrix jacchus, common marmoset; Saquinus labiatus, red-bellied tamarin) and one small animal (Mesocricetus auratus, Syrian golden hamster)."

Our #PhD program at the Helmholtz Institute for #RNA-based #Infection Research is open for applications! Unusually for Germany we offer rotations in 3 labs and a choice of supervisor. Very international program, with lots of great projects, technologies, and resources available. #scRNAseq #CRISPR #RNAseq #pathogens #bioinformatics

Join us on our new MSc and PhD course in Integrative Structural Biology beginning Feb 2023
Mostly relevant for people near Copenhagen 🇩🇰 and surroundings as this will be an in person course and takes place over a period of five months

Hi Mastodon! I'm an epidemiologist and disease ecologist interested in #scicomm, currently leading microbiological risk assessment at the UK Food Standards Agency. I have a background in vector- and (more recently) food-borne disease, particularly viruses, and an interest in food more generally. I'll be sharing interesting research and issues around food, risk and epidemiology. Please say hi - especially old friends from Twitter, it'll take a while to find you all!
"To assess the nanoscale relationship between neuronal adjacency and connectivity, we evaluate the expansive set of C. elegans connectomes. We find that synaptic connectivity can be accurately modeled as a path-length-dependent process of neuronal adjacency and brain strata, offering strong support for Peters' rule as an organizational principle of C. elegans brain wiring."
Since it proves challenging to find everybody at #mastodon, I thought it would be useful to add a little #introduction to my profile!
I am a neuroscientist, heading the research group Olfactory Coding at the MPI in Jena and interested in olfactory circuits, sensory processing and plasticity in #Drosophila. Key techniques are 2P functional imaging, SSR, anatomical tracing, neuronal reconstructions, neuro-/ optogenetics and diverse behavioral assays to study innate/ learned olfactory behavior.
I've worked on all of science, from B cells to T cells.
