An advantage of living in the semitropical city of #NewOrleans is that wildlife can be seen year-round here. A disadvantage is that some of that year-round wildlife is made up of #mosquitoes.

A 2 million year old ecosystem from Greenland revealed revealed by ancient eDNA. Amazing work by Willerslev and colleagues. A bounty of plants, mammals, and even horseshoe crab. Unfortunately few insects...

I love going to @theNASEM@twitter.com and walking by this exhibit of African Americans in Science, Engineering, and Medicine! Such an inspiration-#goals 😊

Ken Murphy's lab (once again) defines a novel mechanism whereby CD4 T cells provide help to cDC1-CD8 T cell responses.

"Thus, CD40 signaling in cDC1s not only induces costimulatory ligands for CD8+ T cells but also induces Bcl2l1 that sustains cDC1 survival during priming of anti-tumor responses." #Immunology

On a damp Sunday, it’s time for an #introduction. I am a…

🤖 chemist at Imperial College London, using computer simulations to model crystals. I have a mild obsession with the mineral #perovskite and #openscience

📚 editor at JACS, covering #compchem, #AI, and energy materials

🎓 senior tutor, interested in the wellbeing of early career researchers

📽 otherwise, I'm likely to be found in the cinema or hunting down vinyl records in bargain bins

A reminder of why we are trying to make a new and improved science community here on Mastodon.

#introduction time! I’m a postdoc at UC Berkeley working in Jamie Cate’s lab. I’m studying how #eIF3 regulates protein translation in stem cells. I’m also interested in #ribosome and #RNA biochemistry. I’m in Mastodon because I’m very tired of the Donalds and the Elons of the world. Besides science, I’m also very passionate about bike riding and spending time outdoors 🌲🚲

#introduction To fill in my profile tags, a thread:

#TrakEM2 open source software mostly for #connectomics, and supports manual and automatically montaging and aligning overlapping 2D image tiles (with #SIFT features and rigid or elastic transformation models), and reconstructing by painting volumes or tracing branched neuronal arbors neurons plus synapses to map a #connectome from #vEM (volume electron microscopy).

Arc Institute is launching the Arc Science Fellows program for early-career scientists to start their own lab right after grad school with $250K/year research budget + salary.

Finally taking the time for an #introduction on #mastodon !

I'm a #marine #microbiologist currently leading a #lab at the #EMBL #Heidelberg. My lab is fascinated by the #diversity & #impact of #microbial #interactions across #biological scales, with a particular focus on #eukaryotic #phytoplankton. We think about #symbiosis #epibiosis #viralinfection #singlecell #ecology, often wt #TaraOceans folks⛵

I push for #inclusive #science, and to rethink our #practices in light of #sustainability 🌊

We are happy to share our new study recently published in the European Journal of Immunology entitled “Clonal composition and persistence of antigen-specific circulating T follicular helper cells”.
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/eji.202250190

Follicular helper T cells (Tfh) are very important to promote #Bcell response and #antibody affinity maturation. Despite, their blood counterparts circulating Tfh (#cTfh) cells are poorly defined in #human in terms of #antigen specificity and persistence.

🙏🚨I need your input🚨🙏

I was asked and agreed to write an updated book chapter on #radiopharmaceuticals therapy for the 8th Ed of Principles and Practice of Radiation Oncology (aka Perez and Brady).

What topics do you, my #RadOnc colleagues, want me to cover?

TIA!
