extremely common experience of women getting their husbands/boyfriends into parkrun. think we managed about 5 parkruns together before Dan started beating me 😆

Where's the river gone?

Very excited to have a poem in the latest issue of Interpret - out today!!

For my immunology followers, the cantrell lab is on bluesky. Applied proteomics, immunometabolism, T cells, protein degradation, signalling what more could you ask for?

Give them a follow: @cantrell-lab.bsky.social

Autophagy repression by antigen and cytokines shapes mitochondrial, migration and effector machinery in CD8 T cells - Nature Immunology Sinclair et al. combine quantitative proteomics and an autophagy flux reporter to map autophagy substrates and triggers during CD8 T cell differentiation. Proteins degraded and fueled by autophagy in ...

I am overjoyed to present our latest paper on Autophagy in CD8 Tcells!

It was, as all ‘sciencing’ is, a huge team effort.

I will try to do it some justice in the following thread 😊 1/n
@cantrell-lab.bsky.social @immpres.bsky.social @ajmhowden.bsky.social

got the (edible!) 'CD8' slice 😄

Yay!! It's finally out! I know how much hard work has gone into this paper from our lab, especially by @lindavsinclair.bsky.social. Excited about how all this cool new knowledge is now informing my PhD project too. 🥳

I haven't used Amazon for around 10 years now. I found Argos are a great alternative, they sell similar things and do 'same day' delivery in many places! Or click and collect if you hate waiting in the house for parcels. They're my go-to these days for random cables and little bits and pieces.

The Vic Soc is calling on @ealingcouncil.bsky.social to put a Building Preservation Order on East Lodge at Lammas Park, Ealing. We are also objecting to the unnecessary demolition of this lodge which makes such a positive contribution to the local area. Make Objections here: bit.ly/4bdfI4c

haven't worked out who keeps doing these drawings in our tea room, but I love them for it ☺️

screw tha rules

Beautiful setting for this morning's parkrun at West Links in Arbroath. Beach on one side, trains going by on the other... two of my favourite things. All we need next time is a blue sky 🌞

Excellent:

Hi all! 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬

How a Canadian scientist and a venomous lizard helped pave the way for Ozempic - National | Globalnews.ca In 1984, Dr. Daniel Drucker, an endocrinologist from the University of Toronto, discovered a hormone that helped pave the way for popular diabetes drugs such as Ozempic.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen.

Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !”

Our sweet doggy is feeling very sorry for herself since she hurt her leg and can't walk or play. So she'll be getting the puppy burrito treatment all weekend ❤️

In a 1st, ancient proteins reveal sex of human relative from 3.5 million years ago Researchers have extracted ancient proteins from australopithecine fossils and determined whether they were male or female — a first for human evolution studies.

It may be a bit "inside baseball," but I'm wildly excited about the promise of palaeoproteomics -- not quite as much info as DNA, but can give us info from millions of years ago. This new paper out today shows they were able to figure out biological sex of an A. africanus specimen (2-3.5myo). 🏺🧪

today's facs histograms are kind of giving joy division

Vigilante knitters have struck in dundee!

🥰 happened to catch the game on the TV at the pub earlier and thought of you all!

Reposting my trip to South Korea for #Cytokines2024 (with travel generously funded by the British Society for Immunology!) because it is basically the coolest thing I've ever done 🇰🇷🌳🏙️
