For a few months now I've considered doing a series of posts on women in #RNA #research (mostly PIs, maybe some #postdocs). My idea is to take the latest paper of their group and present it while highlighting previous key work. I already have a list of ~50 researchers (biased for those I know) - enough for a year of a weekly series.
Originally, I thought of doing it on the birdsite, but I just couldn't find time for it.
Moving here might be the kick I need to begin - hopefully this weekend.

As a #colourblind person, I appreciate people checking their figures in greyscale. But it's a lot of work to always convert your figures into greyscale, right? A lesson from digital artists: you don't have to!

There are easier ways for all operating systems! (see replies)

Checking your figures in greyscale may not resolve all visual impairment issues, but it really helps! Plus, it allows YOU to appreciate *contrast*. Use contrast to your advantage!

Protip for Tweetdeck lovers new to Mastodon: click "Preferences" and select "Enable advanced web interface".

You'll love the result. You can add columns for hashtags, lists, etc.

I'm a professional dog sitter doing a postdog at Stanford co-advised by two Samoyeds 😅 I do single-molecule force spectroscopy as a side hustle! I’m enthusiastic about proteins especially kinases in AFM, magnetic tweezer and optical tweezer assays! Follow me for #biophysics #singlemolecule #mechanobio content 🤗

Did you know that you can copy-paste images into the text field, and they get added to your toot as if you had appended them? Very handy to avoid creating intermediate files, by right-click on a PDF, copy image, and paste here; or right-click on an image on a website, and paste here.

Did you know that you can follow hashtags? A convenient way to follow entire domains of knowledge without having to find its members first.

Did you know that the website works perfectly from a mobile web browser? No need for an app; the latter are often better looking, but lack some of the functionality.

Did you know that starring a toot doesn't promote it? It's only like an "I see you" and a bookmark of sorts. (The is also a bookmark button, which is just that, without telling the sender.) If you want to promote a message, boost it.

@minimammoth @academicchatter I think it's very unfortunate when I see academics publishing great stuff under the more restrictive licenses like the ones that contain -NC or -ND

Do they realise that putting those restrictions on their work means that the figure images cannot be re-used in Wikipedia? This is particularly bad for papers describing new species - wikipedia needs photos of those species!!

Have just realised that #academics can use @ORCID_Org to
#verify themselves.

Just include your full mastodon link (like this: https://mas.to/@marekmcgann) in the "Websites and Social Links" section in ORCID, then include link to your ORCID record in your Mastodon profile.

Hurray for distributed digital identities!

I am looking for two PhD students. Two very diverse PhDs, but both in the same project on inflammatory bowel disease.

The first will focus on real-world data, artificial intelligence and FAIR data infrastructure --> https://www.academictransfer.com/en/319737/phd-in-data-science-focusing-on-federated-learning-applied-to-healthcare-at-the-clinical-data-science-group/

The second will focus on both qualitative and quantitative research on clinical implementation of AI, clinical decision support or decision aids --> https://www.academictransfer.com/en/319734/phd-candidate-on-real-world-data-focusing-on-the-bridge-between-technology-and-medicine/

First toot #ScienceMastodon

I am a #devbio Group Leader at the Babraham Institute. 🐭⌛️👤⏳

Likely to highlight papers on dev bio. Specially timing, stem cells and mammalian #development.

Sometimes I post about research culture, academic progression and women in science

Trying to keep up in SMM as twitter has been useful so far.

Intro time. Hi #sciencemastodon - I'm Co-Founder of the #preprint servers bioRxiv & medRxiv at Cold Spring Harbor Lab, where I also oversee CSH Perspectives and other #publishing projects. I trained as a molecular biologist. My goal is to improve science communication.

Learn more about bioRxiv at https://doi.org/10.1101/833400 - and on the podcast https://tinyurl.com/y8rbttwz

I'm also interested in promoting understanding of different career paths for academics. More at https://tinyurl.com/4papvn5z

#introduction Hi everyone, I am a developmental biologist, working at the IBDM (Developmental Biology Institute of Marseille) (CNRS and Aix Marseille University). I study muscle development and regeneration, trying to decipher the dysfunctional mechanisms underlying muscle pathologies. I would post with any new equivalent of the very useful #MyoTwitter

Hello,

#science #introduction

I am Cesar, postdoctoral researcher and Bioimage Analyst at Serpico/STED Team of Curie Institute and Inria Rennes - Bretagne Atlantique. I work in #imageanalysis of fluorescence microscopy, including #STORM and #LatticeLightSheet. In addition, I work in super resolved polarized microscopy.

I developed different images analysis workflows including 3D single particle tracking, denoising and deconvolution.

I also participate in the image processing and data management node of #FranceBioImaging, promoting #FAIR data.

My personal website is https://cessvala.github.io/

Where are all the #DevBio people at? I want to meet you all!

Would it be too much to ask for authors to mention either on the title or the abstract of a paper what #ModelOrganism was used? IMHO the significance / interest of many findings depends on that, and definitely is a criteria I use to choose whether or not to read further (which is what titles and abstracts are for). Do some people think their findings are universal? #CellBiology #DevBio #Genetics #DevelopmentalBiology

#science mastodon!
I am a researcher in #Evolution.

I am interested in everything about #biology and #nature. Specialised in evolutionary #genomics and in the study of #adaptation and #Speciation , with a spoon of #ecology, #insects, inversions and #SV ( structural variants) - based on France

I mostly use this social platform to read YOUR good papers and research ( because that's an easy and lazy way to stay up-to-date 🙂)

Looking forward connecting back with the community🤝
