essential to note that protesters are gathering in strong numbers elsewhere on the island too.
100s are rallying in Colombo after authorities blocked access to social media platforms & imposed a curfew to contain protests over a worsening economic crisis. aljazeera.com/news/2022/4/3/…

Tomorrow, I will be releasing a new version of the #ImageJ ActionBar plugin in which bars can stick to the ImageJ main window, together with a convenient "channels bar" to easily change display mode and channel visibility. See how it works below.

Ever wanted to quantify the patterns in networks? Our tools is now out & free! Designed for the extracellular matrix, but works on F-actin and blood vessels too. Big congratulations to Esther Wershof & the team👏🍾. Tweetorial with non-science examples to follow next week...
This work provides a quantitative tool for the analysis of fibrillar patterns in biology. We demonstrate its utility on in vitro generated extracellular matrices, mouse tissues, and patient samples. By Sahai & colleagues @eriksahailab

🎉The new and improved CoVariants.org is here! 🎉
We're hoping to make this a one-stop location to track not only the 'headline' variants, but many different #SARSCoV2 mutations & variants that scientists are keeping an eye on.
Let's take a tour of the site!

Among 15 individuals with neutralisation activity three weeks after the Pfizer mRNA vaccine, 10 showed evidence of reduction in efficacy of antibodies against the B.1.1.7 mutant (Fold change >3). The highest fold change was 6. Median fold change was 3.85 (IQR 2.68-5.28).

It's shocking that the Trade Bill includes ZERO protection for our NHS.
I'm calling on @BorisJohnson to change that right now by thanking #ourNHSheroes & instructing all Tory MPs to vote for the NHS Protection Amendment.
I Nominate @BeckettUnite

✅ Thanks to @BellRibeiroAddy for pledging to protect our NHS and stop trade deals being signed in secret.
❓ Has your MP signed the pledge? Find out here: weownit.org.uk/has-your-mp-s…

Very excited to share our first lab preprint.
We develop a search engine (convart.org) for Orthologous Variants between human, mouse, and C. elegans.
There are many equivalent variants called OrthoVars between humans and non-human species

My first tweet of 2021 is going to be about 1 dose vs. 2 dose vaccine. I have tweeted in the past of the immunological advantages of a 2 dose vaccine. However, given the enhanced transmission variants on the rise, we need a modified strategy. (1/n)

We are hiring a researcher to assist w our studies of how #SARSCoV2 mutations affect antibody and serum binding. This work applies evolutionary approaches to address questions of public-health relevance. See sciencedirect.com/science/ar… and biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… for examples. (1/2)
