I can't see The Movie until Nov 12th because I live in Australia so nobody post any spoilers until then ok thanks
I truly believe cells/enzymes/etc can smell fear and the concept of "magic hands" is actually just confidence or perhaps positive vibes
every so often I rediscover the perfect food item that is the crispy chicken snack wrap from mcdonalds, eat them for lunch multiple days in a row, then get confused about why I feel a bit gross and tired
this whole thread feels like im in one of those videos where someone's saying all my favourite words as a prank
More broadly, our findings reveal how tissues match🔗 #immune_support to #metabolic_demand . Understanding this dialogue 🗣 may help explain how disrupted mitochondrial or immune function contributes to tissue decline in aging and metabolic disease.💡
survived another melbourne winter AND my final med school exams with only a handful of career-threatening crashouts 💚

Fake news. Next, they'll tell you there is no such thing as the luckiest thermocycler in the lab
#MicrobiologyMonday: Bunsen burners are used to reduce airborne contamination. Data in #JournalSpectrum suggest the practice is not evidence-based and, except in some cases, Bunsen burners can be removed from practice w/o compromising research integrity. asm.social/33D
ALT Several resources suggest that an active Bunsen burner flame produces convection currents, which in turn push contaminated air up and away from a work area proximal to the burner.
Today I'm feeling v grateful I got the opportunity to do med school post-PhD. I've learnt so much and understand the context for my PhD work so much better now. There should be more opportunities for PhD students to get exposure to the clinical environment - I've found that intricate knowledge of a mechanism is most useful when placed in context.
This has been a thing for ever and ever - I literally don't even look at the vendor's figures when buying antibodies/ELISAs/etc because they cannot be trusted. We rely entirely on word of mouth recommendations and (costly) in-lab optimisation/validation, and kind of just accept this behaviour as normal. I would save a heap of time and money if someone could please sort this out 😅
I'm so excited to be part of the first @PrimordiaGrants cohort! I've been trying to get this idea out of my brain and into the lab for a while now.
We're performing a high-throughput experiment to validate targets that can reprogram macrophage function under hyperglycemic conditions - hopefully the first step in a much longer term tissue regeneration project. Stay tuned to see how it pans out!
Primordia Grants Cohort 1 is here!
$13,200 funded across 7 projects. Researchers from 6 countries doing science that matters.
A collaboration between @valley_dao and @BiopunkLab
Here's the full cohort 👇

Nothing wrong with using AI to analyze your genome but please do not naively believe AI based analyses of genomic information without consulting clinical geneticists, physicians & genetic counselors. Lots of snake oil salesmen in this space.
On @TuckerCarlson we talked a lot about this, why genetics — despite it being the greatest preventative medicine tool ever — has been so under appreciated for so long.
Our customers more and more are using the data they get from Nucleus alongside AI for amazing health insights (all raw data is available to all customers in a simple download format, they usually port that over into Claude seamlessly).
