We always love looking at the beautiful pattern of expression of #AAV in the #retina. This is AAV-GFP in a retina following intravitreal injection. We're working to improve #GeneTherapy through vector engineering.

#ScienceMastodon

First post!
#introduction I’m a cell biologist/microscopist, managing the light microscopy core facility at Imperial College London, called FILM (Facility for Imaging by Light Microsocpy).
We provide training and assistance in widefield, confocal, high content, multi photon and super resolution imaging. We also support users in #bioimageanalysis.
I love imaging, biology and science in general, so post on these, plus music, arts, cheese and coffee.
🔬☕️🧀

Woah - German government has got its own Mastodon instance and most of the ministries and many agencies already have accounts.
Verification problem at least partially solved - just need to check the domain is right!
I've also seen newspapers like theatlantic.com set up instances themselves. Looks like verification will be worked out sooner or later.

#introduction I’m a Royal Society research fellow at UCL where my lab uses computational biology to study how mutations cause disease, with a special interest in #aging and #cancer!

Our research covers multiple scales- how mutations change proteins to trigger disease, how genes coordinate to control cell behaviour, and how cells compete and interact in the tissue to cause disease! Check out my lab website for more info hall-lab.com/ #sciencemastodon

The Fediverse has its own video platform called @peertube.

You can follow PeerTube accounts from Mastodon, for example try following craftykat@diode.zone

You can watch and interact with the videos entirely within Mastodon, or on PeerTube itself.

Here's an example of a PeerTube server:

➡️ fedi.video

If you see an account you like, you can copy and paste its account address into Mastodon to follow it there. When new videos are published, they will appear in your Mastodon timeline.

finally time for #Introduction

I'm Vittorio a researcher in the BioNanoTechnology group in Wageningen (the Netherlands).

Workwise I like to mix #chemistry with #technology (#microfluidics, #3Dprinting, #materials, #nano and so on)

for example:
make PDMS microfluidics at home: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/fu

transform your 3D printer in a set of syringe pumps:
sciencedirect.com/science/arti

or use a coffee capsule to detect Covid RNA:
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/fu

then: #videogames, #ukulele, #craft

@drlynnchiu Well I guess we have to keep trying :/
Large journals joining is already a good sign and helps a bit with the sale speech but it's a long road.

"Single-molecule magnetic tweezers to capture over a million individual transitions as a single talin protein unfolds and refolds under force in equilibrium. When observed at classically probed timescales, talin folds in an apparently uncomplicated two-state manner. As the sampling time extends from minutes to days, the underlying energy landscape exhibits gradually larger signatures of complexity, involving a finite number of well-defined rare conformations.[...]The physiological relevance of each distinct conformation can be connected to the binding of the cytoskeletal protein vinculin, suggesting an extra layer of complexity in talin-mediated mechanotransduction."

@drlynnchiu I love the idea but it's going to be a hard sell for institutions. On the other hand, it feels like individuals and small institutions would benefit a lot from it. It facilitates exposure to people that are sharing the same interests without being shadowed by big structures.

@drlynnchiu I discussed mastodon with a few people involved in PR around me. I was asked whether there are already metrics and tools they could use to bring the idea higher up. Is there anything you could recommend?

#introduction 👀 hello Mastodon community, thanks for having me!

I'm a researcher, (#digitalinclusion #digitalhumanities - www.alicjapawluczuk.com) educator & ARTIST (#endometriosis #genderhealthgap #feminism #art - www.hystera.online). I'm a Polish-Scottish-citizen-of-nowhere, currently Based in #Berlin, where I'm recovering from #Brexit. Looking fwd to connecting & exchanging ideas :)

#academia #twittermigration #hello #Berlin

Looking for a #PhD? #UCL is offering 40 #scholarships for fully funded PhD positions across all disciplines, available to people from any country. Deadline Jan 13th ucl.ac.uk/scholarships/researc

#introduction (I love the idea!)

I am an associate professor at the #LBBE in Lyon

This means I teach for a significant part of my time (maths, genetics) at the #IUTLyon1

In my research I study #evolution with models (#popgen, #adaptivedynamics) more #mechanistic than usual – often this leads me to study #evolution in/of biological #networks

Hello, new here like many others so I will post an #introduction .
I work in #EvolutionaryBiology , particularly phenotypic #evolution using #morphometrics and correlates with #Genomics and #Transcriptomics . After a bunch of positions abroad (postdocs and lecturer), I am currently a tenured researcher at the #Italian National Research Council and my lab is based in #Messina (which is in #Sicily).
More info on me and my lab on my website fruciano.org/
Currently, checking out Mastodon.

#JobPost: hiring an editor at Nature Ecology & Evolution 

We are hiring an #editor!

Do you have a background in #ecology or #evolution, and want to be involved in a broader range of topics than your own research area?

We are particularly keen to extend the geographical representation of our #editorial team (see some possible locations in the #JobAd below). #AltAc #EditorJobs
