#Publishing #OpenAccess #CreativeCommons 

@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: 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!

Word of the day:

"Kleptoplasty, the process by which a host organism sequesters and retains algal chloroplasts, is relatively common in protists"

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 --> academictransfer.com/en/319737

The second will focus on both qualitative and quantitative research on clinical implementation of AI, clinical decision support or decision aids --> academictransfer.com/en/319734

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 doi.org/10.1101/833400 - and on the podcast tinyurl.com/y8rbttwz

I'm also interested in promoting understanding of different career paths for academics. More at 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,

I am Cesar, postdoctoral researcher and Bioimage Analyst at Serpico/STED Team of Curie Institute and Inria Rennes - Bretagne Atlantique. I work in of fluorescence microscopy, including and . 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 , promoting data.

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

Rare #rant about #titles and #abstracts on #biology articles 

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🤝

#Introduction

Let me have a correct #introduction .
Hi! I’m Djigr, evolutionary #biologist, #paleontologist , #artist and published #paleoartist ! I work on various subjects such as #temnospondyls (#crocofrogs from the past) and 3D molecular structure prediction by AI.
I do #scicom and #sciart on feathered #dinosaurs and #evolution, am known for my fake TV journal #CROW+ that teaches about #crow biology!
I’m a co-founder of Chicken Wings Dinosaurs, which produces cute and cool paleoart :sparkles_fiery:
:)👋

Hi! My #introduction
I am a scientist studying how gestational exposures like #obesity and #diabetes impact metabolism in their children. We use cells from infants’ umbilical cords to understand this developmental predisposition.

In my free time I raise 2 quirky & awesome kiddos and love #running, #sewing, and #baking. I mostly post about those things, with a bit of #science thrown in 🙃

Looking to follow accounts about all of the above + #socialjustice and #bug #marine & #bird science.

ESEB is now on mastodon! We are an academic society of evolutionary biologists who aim to promote the study of evolution. We publish our journal @JEB and co-publish Evolution Letters with @sse_evolution

We support our members through several initiatives - visit eseb.org for more info.

Our biennial congress is one of the biggest meetings of evolutionary biologists in the world. Great to see so many of you here 🐘

Hi Mastodon community! I am a MRC Investigator and group leader at the MRC Human Genetics Unit at the University of Edinburgh. Very glad to be here...

A certified '#cellbiology on an organismal scale' fanatic- we believe seeing is believing! We ❤️ hacking ways to 'see' biology happen in real time across scales in health and disease!

Imaging addict. Genome wrangler. Developmental biologist at heart.

I came across this paper. nature.com/articles/s41587-022
"By blue-shifting the beam and separating by on/off switching, individual fluorophores bound to a strand are localized with σ = 4.7 Å, corresponding to a fraction of the fluorophore size, with only 2,000 detected ."
This image showing resolution below the size of the fluorophore leaves me speechless.
The paper features images of , , synaptic , () and

Our most recent #preprint (biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20) was submitted for peer review by eLife under 'the new model' - I'm happy to share that it is now undergoing in-depth peer review. To celebrate, here's a cell that's making a little dance, guided by light
