Random patterns of exquisite beauty - revealing random ideas - that occassionally - just possibly - when reflected upon - may just change the way we think about what we think about!!

Oh my word! - where is this??? ❤️

Congratulations: This image is absolutely stunning

Do yourself a favour 🦋- take a moment - open the pic - dive into the beauty of microscope for a moment - just to really remember and pause in awe at the elegance of nature ❤️ (even if you do get #allergies!!)

BBC presenter's shock over mum's body donation revelation BBC presenter Lucy Owen finds out why her mum wants to donate her body to medical science.

What an incredibly poignant piece of reporting by the BBC.

Lots to think about.
#generosity
#reciprocity
#altruism of the highest order.

Any chance we think this might actually work?
Or are we just compounding our doom by splitting the pack even further … ?
Answers on a postcard.

This piqued my interest …
Will there be a sting in the tail??

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Just putting my head above the parapet to ask :

How many have returned to X?

And if you have: why?

And if you haven’t and 🦋 isn’t meeting your needs - where else do you go most regularly?

(Genuinely curious question!)

Well…. Who’d ‘a’ thought it?? 🙄

Terrifying!

Was curious about the post - Sounds like an exciting post for someone - but the link only goes to the job page - not the actual Job posting? Worth amending?

It’s a thought!!

How we can smash Britain’s two-party system for good at the next election | George Monbiot Labour is beyond repair. Time for a co-ordinated strategy to support progressive parties committed to electoral reform, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

By betraying his voters so comprehensively and so soon, Keir Starmer has done us a favour. He has given us 4 years to design the government we want.
In this week's column I explain how it can be done. There's massive
potential, but we need to start now. 🧵

Wow … Just Wow! 😮

Wow …. #this_woman_ran_far

Nice loop up to the Moor!

Hope all is well, Lovely Lady!

<em>Diabetic Medicine</em> | Diabetes UK Journal | Wiley Online Library Aims This review aims to introduce research in the pancreas to a broader audience. The pancreas is a heterocrine gland residing deep within our abdominal cavity. It is the home to our islets, which .....

This paper was all in my voice! Too long but 😍. It was the first commentary Ive written about the science I’m so passionate about! (I do still need to learn about white space!!!)

As an example: Trump administration cuts $4m to Princeton’s climate research funding:

The scope of this madness is 🤯

For all the scientists in America affected…and the work for the rest of us that they do…I weep.

I can only think we fight it with hope, patience, and continued rebellion ….

Still so excited by our paper!

Multidisciplinary, creative, innovative & fun: this was “doing” science at its best 🚀🧪
Helpful that it a) reveals (quantitatively) that human #islets retain a conserved mantle-core structure & b) offers a nuanced tool to compare the subtleties of data distributions.

Me too! 🤣

Humbled by the women in science before me: 🧪🔬🥼🚀

As a less composed Immuno-histologist - what a story! What beautiful women ….
And what a commitment to science… and to their passions … amazing … thanks for sharing! ❤️

Totally agree:
It’s not going anywhere - we might as well learn to use it wisely and support its strengths 🙌🏼

So sad to read :
How is it possible that this is happening to science in 2025 !!!!?????

Hey DiabGeeks - this 👇🏼looks like it will be an extraordinary tool to add to the diabetes researcher armoury 🧪🔬
Congratulations 🚀🙌🏼
