I love when people bother to make figures like this - great for teaching people that have forgotten (or never studied) biochemistry

If you’ve spent the last week focused on work, recognize just how much privilege you have.

I'm pretty tired of hearing how we scientists are supposed to be so productive now. Anyone with kids, elderly parents, lab members to worry about, stranded masters students, etc is too stressed and busy to be thinking big thoughts.

One of the bottlenecks on COVID-19 testing has been a lack of approved RNA extraction kits. While our kits are normally only approved for research use only, we’ve recently filed for EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) so that they can be used in the clinical setting. We are

I work with amazing colleagues. Just look at this... 18 hours after being contacted by the government, massive collegiate spirit #WeAreUoN @UniofNottingham @TrentUni will add 20,000 #coronavirus tests a day @UoNPressOffice @UoNresearch

What is the #Warburg effect and how does it fit with our modern understanding of #cancer biology? @RJDLab and #notwitternav clarify common misconceptions. Read it here (rdcu.be/b1bjD) or below. #metabolism nature.com/articles/s42255-0…

2 KO models (1 a double KO), inhibitors, diets eg. Most comprehensive study I have ever undertaken to delineate glucose uptake by muscle w insulin. Findings negative. Rejected from 2 journals that would no doubt have accepted it, had findings been positive biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Great team effort led by PhD candidate @JulianYabut describing how mast cells secrete serotonin to inhibit #adipose tissue thermogenesis in #obesity. Could this also be an important for linking allergies with obesity? rdcu.be/b0FyB
Congratulations @JulianYabut on your first primary author publication!

Speaking of deadly viruses -> Measles is one of the most contagious diseases. In past year roughly 13K cases in Europe. Worldwide, measles killed 140K people in 2018, largely young children. If you're not vaccinated, more likely to catch #measles in the UK than #coronavirus.

Happy to share our preprint in @biorxivpreprint on targeting metabolic sensitivity in cancer. MiR-17-92 as a biomarker for biguanide sensitivity in lymphoma. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

fantastic work in @sciencemagazine from our own @bobdleone about glutamine antagonism in cancer. double-edged sword that suppresses tumor metabolism and increases functionality of the TIL. #immunotherapy #immunometabolism

Who says you can’t start them young? @luseadra @BarkerSoton @sofia_strommer @sdombrowski THIS is how you write a grant on the impt of preconception health and long term impacts....🤞

Study conducted at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology discovered that healthy liver tissue surrounding a tumor activates a defence mechanism that restrains tumor growth #CancerResearch @sciencemagazine bit.ly/GeorgHalder
Bragging about huge numbers of hours worked each week misses two important truths: -time at work doesn’t necessarily equal productivity -there is no prize for suffering the most
