Hey there,

Someone kept bringing up Mastodon so I decided to join. Y'all can just call me Collard Green Dreams, or CGD for short. Here are some relevant things about me:

I'm African-American
I'm Bi and Non-Binary
I'm pretty sure I have ADHD, Autism, or both
I have a ton of interests that vary, such as VNs, books, film, vampires, ATR, history, science, and food.

Nice to meet y'all 🙂

'Era una mujer sin nombre, de pie sobre una barricada en la Barcelona de 1936, una bandera rojinegra detrás. La imagen se imprimió en carteles y libros, se pintaron murales, y ella se convirtió en un icono de la Guerra Civil. Se desconocía su identidad. Y la del fotógrafo.'

In flies:

"Using a transcriptomic analysis of over 37,000 nuclei, we identified twelve distinct clusters of cells corresponding to temperature-sensing arista neurons, humidity-sensing sacculus neurons, and support cells relating to these neurons."

Lately I have been visiting 🐦 more freq than once a week to engage with ramble chats (and #marblefacts) with my colleagues and friends post a great conference. I miss that banter, but that's the *only* thing

#Twitter as I knew it is a long lost memory. As I opened it I got inundated by ads and random posts from accounts I have no clue or care about.

I love my 🦣 home very much, full of interesting posts and people and *so* civilized, I just wish my #glycotime peeps could move over 😊

Is there N6-methyl-2’adenine DNA incorporation derived from decay of #m6A-RNA in cells?

Hailin Wang and colleagues show that mammalian ADAL deaminase sanitizes 2’-#deoxynucleotide pools to prevent AK1-dependent misincorporation

Involving patients in infection research. Important - it's about/for them, ultimately.

Holy crap, the excellent @glycojones has a postdoc job available. If you like biology, coding, sugars, and structures - this looks like a great role where you can _really_ enrich existing Alphafold models of extracellular proteins.

Also, York is pretty dope.

There's a tenure-track research position opening at CBIO in Paris. Come work with us on #machineLearning for #biology and #medicine!

I too wish it was a permanent, civil servant position from the get-go... but the position turns into a permanent contract after two years and a very reasonable review process.

Feel free to reach out informally if you have any question!

Water companies paid out more than £50bn in dividends to shareholders in the last 30 years. Thames Water is now £14bn in debt and the Government will probably have to bail them out.
Even then they’ll refuse to take the company back into public ownership and will basically give it back to their friends after paying off the debt.
And there’s billions that still needs investing in the water infrastructure itself.
Who ever thought privatising water monopolies was a good idea?
