Excited to share our latest paper in @iScience_CP with @mlisi6, @iris_groen & @TesDekker We found profound differences in how children and adults can use prior knowledge to perceive hidden images ... cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S… 1/6

Want to cut 40% of your CO2 emissions? If you bank with @Barclays @HSBC @firstdirect in 🇬🇧 & lucky enough to have £10k in your account, you can save 2 tonnes+ of CO2 a year by switching to @CooperativeBank @Nationwide or @triodosuk (avg pp CO2/yr UK=5.2T) via @MotherTreeLtd

Meiotic drive does not impede success in sperm competition in the stalk-eyed fly, Teleopsis dalmanni academic.oup.com/evolut/arti… A unique example in which destruction of half the sperm makes no difference in sperm competition @sadeb_biology @SBradshaw26 @fcamus

27 hours into my overland journey to #SMBE2023 from Sheffield to Ferrara. Only two missed trains and 7 hours of delays so far. However, very excited to be sharing work again, exploring meiotic drive, condition dependence and scRNA-seq!

Not long until #SMBE2023! We’ve been studying the evolution of novelty in cephalopods by using high resolution genome topology data to look closely at differential chromatin loops and TAD structures. Come to my talk next Tuesday at 2pm in AD1 to learn more!

New post on the #AGABlog #EECGEmbarkationhttps://blog.theaga.org/ by #EECG awardee @PeterDPrice
The Eurostar back from #ESEB2022 feels like an appropriate time to start the exciting journey to understanding how to analyse and interpret #scRNAseq data. Let me know of any useful resources, tips, dos or don'ts.
