“My visit to Craig Franklin’s lab at the University of Queensland, supported by a Travelling Fellowship from The Company of Biologists, has been pivotal in shaping my early research career. The experience reinforced my appreciation for the power of exchanging ideas across institutions and geographic boundaries. The friendships and connections I built during this time have led to ongoing collaborations and continue to influence my approach to research.”   Giulia Rossi Postdoctoral Researcher

Congrats to Ranim Saleem from the Scott Lab for winning best physiology poster at the @csz-sczofficial.bsky.social meeting for her work on mitochondrial adaptations to high altitude.

A great read, especially as we approach the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.

Representation matters.

At long last, I am delving into social media & this platform seems to underpin my principles & values. Bear with me as I navigate this landscape.

I am on here to celebrate the creativity & impact of experimental biology & the research that is being conducted by dedicated & passionate scientists.

Strange Bacteria 'Breathe' Rock, And We Might Finally Understand How That's Possible A bacterial species that survives by 'breathing' rock has intrigued scientists for decades, even though the inner workings of its mysterious cellular respiration technique have remained far from clear...

Some deep-sea bacteria literally breathe metal, using iron and manganese like we use oxygen. If we ever harness their abilities, we might just revolutionize bioelectricity. www.sciencealert.com/these-bacter... #marinelife

A recent meta-analysis of “Draw-a-Scientist” studies found that children have increasingly drawn female scientists over time. However, drawings of female scientists decrease as children get older.
