ROS transfer at peroxisome-mitochondria contact regulates mitochondrial redox Maintenance of mitochondrial redox homeostasis is of fundamental importance to cellular health. Mitochondria harbor a host of intrinsic antioxidant defenses, but the contribution of extrinsic, nonmito...

Very happy to have added a small contribution to this important
Science paper just released yesterday! The study demonstrates a direct interaction of peroxisomes and mitochondria to deal with reactive oxygen species that could cause oxidative damage.

Stumbled across what looks like a scheming nauplius in the SEM while looking for tintinnids for Hannah from Kirsty's lab! @micromotility.bsky.social

The @exeter.ac.uk team had a fabulous time at the Microscience Microscopy Congress in Manchester! Three days of cutting edge microscopy technologies, diverse science talks and workshops as well as excellent networking and knowledge exchange!

Very happy with the positive feedback about the first GW4 Imaging Network meeting we organised in Exeter! Microscopy in all varieties going strong in the Southwest!

‘Half the tree of life’: ecologists’ horror as nature reserves are emptied of insects A new point in history has been reached, entomologists say, as climate-led species’ collapse moves up the food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of pesticides

Makes for truly horrifying reading! Coincidentally, I read 'The Insect Crisis ' by Oliver Milman at the moment as well. :-(

Smiley yeast for midweek Wednesday!

Thank you @EMCF Heidelberg and @cosheidelberg.bsky.social for the warm welcome and the opportunity to teach stereology for microscopists the last two days! It was a pleasure to be back in Heidelberg!!

Not sure if our Master students were impressed by my comparison between the first commercial SEM and IG88.... The resemblance is uncanny though!

New signs put up, finally nobody will have trouble finding us any more :-)

A friendly face in the TEM sending me off into the weekend!

It was another fun year for photography and sharing my output with like-minded peeps on Flickr. For anyone interested in photography, happy to connect via Flickr!

Thank you!!

Happy to be added to the list, thank you!

Happy to be added as well, thank you!

Storm Darragh prevented my trip to Heidelberg tomorrow. No stereology workshop on Monday then but we will reschedule for next year!
