Hello Mastodon! Please enjoy this picture of a hummingbird I took last week. Much nicer than a little blue bird, don't you think? 😜

If you’ve ever wondered what the difference is between a seal and a sea lion then HAVE I GOT THE CHART FOR YOU.

Your semi-regular reminder that working in #academia is a #job, not (just?) a calling. Don’t accept shitty labor practices.

For #FungiFriday, Velvet Shank (Flammulina velutipes). A glistening caramel-coloured fungi that grows in wonderful tiers on dead wood. Found on dead roots of Gorse on Castle Hill, Brighton. #fungi

SAVE THE DATE: We are happy to announce that the Workshop on Genomics 2023 will take place on the 14-27th of May. Save it in your calendars, and share it with those interested!

For the first time, we will introduce an Equal Opportunities bursary system for low- and lower-middle income countries within and outside the EU.

picking a mastodon server to join is easy -- just think of it like you're allying with one of many families in a war-torn medieval land, each with their own histories, feuds, laws, blood rituals

Cryptogam is an outdated term that was originally used to designate all non-animals that did not produce by visible seeds in the Linnaean binomial system. This included things like spore bearing plants (byrophytes, liverworts, ferns, etc), lichen, and fungi, which now are spread out, more accurately, into their appropriate kingdoms.

Its a great word though, isn't it?

#zumba classes should be available on prescription! Don’t think I’ve ever left one not feeling 100 times better than when I walked in! (It should be noted that I’m not terribly good and mostly flail about like someone who’s walked into a cobweb but it’s so much fun!!)🤩🤩 #exercise

After qualifying as a #radiographer I somehow ended up doing an MSc in #bioinformatics and a PhD looking at #microbial communities followed by a job as a bioinformatician in human #genetics. So, it's fair to say my radiography skills are... rusty! However, in Jan I will be moving to a new job focussing on #MedicalImaging research where I will be able to put my rusty radiography skills back into practice!

One of the things I now need to work on is regaining my HCPC registration as a radiographer, which obviously lapsed whilst I was off playing with microbes! To do this I need to complete a portfolio of a few hundred hours worth of study and practical experience. I'm lucky enough to have access to Exeter uni's library and their medical imaging course material but I am also going to be searching out lots of online resources which will hopefully help me refresh my memory of all things medical imaging! As I find them I will share useful resources on here and as I continue to connect with people who have similar interests I hope they might be useful for others too! 😃

To start with, radiopaedia, a great general radiology site with lots of articles and case studies: https://radiopaedia.org/

#DogsOfMastodon this is my little rescue dog, Folly. She likes to help me work and sees herself as a future bioinformatician 🤔🐶

#introduction I qualified as a radiographer but currently a bioinformaticion working in human genetics (have also worked in microbial genomics). Soon to be starting a postdoc in medical imaging. I live in Devon with my two kids and my dog. Interested in politics and all things science!
