Please spread the info !

Calling all UK-based early career woman scientists! Please apply for the L’Oréal For Women in Science Fellowship. The deadline is 02/12, the application is super short (500 words!!) and the £15k is flexible. Happy to help talk through your proposal/ personal statement. Please email me! https://www.forwomeninscience.com/challenge/show/58 #WomenInSTEM #ChemToots #ChemMastodon #ScienceMastodon

I realize I posted this one back then on a site that wasn't owned by Musk yet; never here so far. Also, the deadline is conveniently a week away (4th Dec to be precise) so a reminder is in place anyway!

My lab is moving to the University of #Mainz. If you're into #LifeHistory #theory/#modelling and would like to interact with whoever visits the future "theory hub" of the #Kokkonuts, read this ad!

In Science Signaling, Ye, Olsen, Wandall, and colleagues used a 3D human organotypic skin model to investigate signaling by the protein TGF-beta. Although TGF-beta initially suppresses tumor growth, at later stages, it promotes metastasis. With this approach, the researchers identified a TGF-beta signaling pathway that promoted invasive growth. This same setup can be used by others to study TGF-beta signaling under normal and pathological conditions: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scisignal.abo2206 #science #cancer

Neuro-evo conference at HHMI Janelia on May 15-18, 2023. Join us for the 3rd edition!

Application deadline: Jan 27 (11:59 p.m. EST) 2023.

"The third instalment of this meeting will once again bring together neuroscientists working on a broad diversity of animal models in an effort to compare circuits across phyla as a means to crack their function."

For those that joined #Mastodon and grabbed the first server they could find, but would prefer to #migrate to a different one, I created a short guide on how to do this quickly and easily.
It also allows you to easily move any followers across to your new profile and leaves a redirection on your old profile for those that find it to help them get to your new one. 😁👍

I'd love if you could share it among your networks to help those that will invariably need it later on.

We’ve mapped and analysed its circuit architecture, from sensory neurons to brain output neurons, as reconstructed from volume electron microscopy, and here is what we found. 1/

I always wondered how Bell Labs, a private lab, could be so successful and win 9 (!) Nobel Prizes. The answer seems to be a continuous stream of funding and an environment that valued longterm research goals and scientific discovery over progress reports.

#introduction

I am a second-year PhD student at Cambridge Uni in mathematical #epidemiology. In particular, I am interested in #virus #evolution during #epidemics

I also did my undergrad and my master's in applied #maths and theoretical physics at Cambridge, but I'm from Madrid.

Do you use a lot of #genomic data in your research or are you considering getting a direct-to-consumer #WholeGenomeSequencing kit for the holidays? Here's a really great review from #NatureReviewsGenetics that covers the technological and legal protections for genomic data: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41576-022-00455-y #science #medicine #genetics #privacy #genome #WGS

In 1952 Rosalind Franklin & Raymond Gosling collected their famous diffraction pattern of #DNA, photo 51.

But did you know that Elwyn Beighton, in #Leeds produced a strikingly similar image the year before? For some reason his boss, Bill Astbury wasn't interested & so they never published the work.
