Rebekah J. White, PhD

Oo I'm on it! Thank you ☺️

I'm keen on things to do with ageing, molecular bio, omics, worms, postdocs, plus Edinburgh uni and wider academia in general ☺️

Ah so simple, thank you! Do I need to be added to a list or anything, or will it just work?

Oo that would absolutely be useful, I deviate into nature projects sometimes! Thank you ☺️

This is the only one I've managed to figure out so far! I appreciate their clear instructions

Hello, still new here, how do I get myself on these starter packs and become a feed contributor? 😇

Iconic work

Mock up of a pamphlet with silly academic poems in the form of bluesky posts

Poetry collection is going well thanks for asking

What an incredible person, thanks so much for sharing this.

My linocut portrait of pharmaceutical chemist Alice Ball, a young Black woman in a lab coat, printed in indigo. Below her is the chemical reaction for Ball’s Process in violet. Above and around her is a branch of chalmoogra with green leaves and yellow fruit.

Happy birthday to pharmaceutical #chemist Alice Ball (1892-1916) who developed 1st effective treatment for leprosy. 👩🏾‍🔬🧪🐡 #histsci Though her life was cut tragically short, her research saved 1000s from exile & painful, ineffective lifelong treatment for leprosy, & she was a trailblazer for both women

After years of worm-ing, I can finally pop on the robes, floppy hat... and hold my PhD thesis! Graduation was an awesome day, marking the end of my time as a student.

I'm looking back with fondness, but also with great excitement for the future ☺️

WHAT!!? I mean, I'm glad there's a solution that works / streamlines this for some (although at the expense of a well-deserved break.. not so sure).

But in regards to the last part, at the very least, I think the students would understand 😅

Absolutely, I agree! Before twitter was ruined, I had connected with so many people from all over doing all sorts. Including people in medicine, so hopefully they'll join us soon!

I'm still getting used to feeds and starter packs and stuff, but it all seems to be good ideas 😊

That's a really polite way of saying that, I like it 😁

I didn't realise how much I had missed the online academic community.

I pretty much left Twitter over 2 years ago, so I'm glad there is BlueSky now!

Yay thank you! 😊

Senolytic Update

'Even more troubling are recent reports from a number of labs that senescent cells themselves seem to have some beneficial functions, as opposed to being loafing cellular deadweight, and that if you did find a targeted way of clearing them out that you might end up wishing that you hadn’t'

Ah wonderful! Best of luck 🤞🏻

Hi Erik, please may I be added? I'm in the molecular biology of ageing 😊 My Scholar is here - scholar.google.com/citations?us...

This is so cool!! Are any other people going to start taking it too, or is it just you for now? 😊 Really curious to hear about your experience with it.

I'm very grateful to be part of such a wacky, yet extraordinarily passionate and intelligent global community. This time we met at @ucdavis.bsky.social in California, which sits within the land of the Patwin native American people. #worm25

This was the first showcase of my postdoc work! It was quite "ahhh" presenting something after only 6 months, but it went super well ☺️
