Baby you’re a fiiiiirework!!! Explanted Xenopus neural crest cell, microtubules (green) and actin (magenta). Imaging in frogs rocks- this is done room temp, no incubation, no problem. 🐸🔬✨ By Micaela Lasser, Helen Willsey @goodfrognosis Lab @zeiss_micro LSM980 fast airyscan

We are thrilled to announce that our @wellcometrust application to establish a Discovery Research Platform for Cell-Matrix Biology @OfficialUoM was successful! 🎉 Here’s what to expect #cellmatrixbiology 👇 (thread)
Wellcome
@wellcometrust4 May 2023
Discovery research has near limitless potential, but researchers can be faced with barriers too substantial to overcome alone. To address this, we are directing £73 million into eight new Discovery Research Platforms. Learn more ⤵️ wellc.me/416bBjJ
Michael Dunn, Director of Discovery Research at Wellcome, says: "By providing substantial support focused on specific research challenges, we have the potential to revolutionise fields of research."

Biggest story on the front page of the Financial Times. Rightly. UK commits scientific, business and cultural suicide.

My latest for @ftopinion on the insanity of leaving HorizonEurope, how 🇬🇧 gov policy is slowly destroying British science & why academics are leaving. #Science ft.com/content/a66e17ee-2526… via @financialtimes

Leaving Horizon would make a mockery of Britain’s desire to be a science superpower

Researchers are already moving to countries where it is easier to operate and collaborate
