Presumably you could become motion sick just from walking, at that rate

Sorry how is roller coasters even close to most surprising

Your Party's new slogan "It's Your Party, so cry if you want to"

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

Thrilled to see our recent preprint on tipping points in neurodegeneration highlighted on Alzforum!
Read it here: www.alzforum.org/news/researc.... Many thanks to Jessica Shugart for the engaging coverage, and to everyone involved in this exciting project at the @ukdri.ac.uk and elsewhere!

It's out at last! Work that I was totally privileged to be a part of led by @becs-andrews.bsky.social, with @jcbreiter.bsky.social @stevethechemist.bsky.social and funded by @asapresearch.parkinsonsroadmap.org

French-German WE-Heraeus-Seminar "Fluorescence markers for advanced microscopy : From photophysics to biology - 2026" March 15-20 2026, Les Houches, France

*This is for you, if you ever wanted to learn all about fluorescence markers & how to apply them for your biological research!*

PS: no fees this year, you just need to get there, that's all!

I am finding the fact that "is it acceptable and proportional to call for trans women to be assaulted in public" is now a subject of public debate in the UK really very upsetting.

Out now on biorxiv! Excited to share our latest collaborative work investigating the earliest stages of Parkinson’s disease.

Section 28 was "the law" too - that doesn't change the fact that the people who supported it were doing so out of bigotry.

Someone holding a sign saying: Respect existence or expect resistance.

Parents holding up a sign saying: "this mum says trans rights are human rights" and "our beautiful daughter is trans."

Someone holding a sign saying "you can't legislate us out of existence."

Someone holding a sign saying "i love my trans self. I love my trans friends."

Today, thousands gathered across the country - from Hastings to London to Glasgow - to say: we will always stand with trans people.

Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️

A fringe group of bigoted weirdos have dragged British media, government, and law into their hateful obsession with trans people. Grim, depressing, and dangerous. Everyone with power in the UK who's played along should be ashamed of themselves.

Microscope objectives can be confusing, and detailed specs (or even basic properties) are often hard to find. Here's an introductory resource to help new builders and instrument designers with the basics. It's a work in progress so feedback is appreciated:
