Peter Radcliffe discussing hypoxia sensing, oxygen from history, publishing and future perspectives

Stefan Hell discussing limits and non limits to light microscopy

What is #IUPS2025 ? - the conference bringing physiologists from across the world,with @physoc.bsky.social , SPS and DPG, -
The 2 Nobel prize lectures, on low oxygen and high resolution respectively from Peter Radcliffe and Stefan Hell. 🔬

A sketch of a presenting scientist talking to a conference presenting work on the links between age, infection status and blood metabolism.

Congratulations on a great talk, blue tits and avian malaria and it's effects on blood metabolism.

Congratulations @aiasdk.bsky.social and all the new fellows, was a pleasure to see 3 minutes of each of their research presented in week one.

Fun game

A blue infographic gives a step by step guide on how to Skype a scientist. The steps are: 1) sign up on skypeascientist.com 2) pick a category of science your group would like to talk about (e.g. marine biology, chemistry, astronomy) 3) get a match via email 4) connect with your scientist, discuss your ur group’s needs and pick a time to chat 5) talk to your scientist!

Hi! We're Skype a Scientist! We're a free program that matches scientists with classrooms, scout troops, libraries, & other groups for Q&As all about science.

Get matched with a scientist for a virtual conversation! We have 30+ types of scientist & match weekly.

A sketch of Carl Zimmer delivering a plenary speech for the American Association of Anatomists, drawing on material on heredity, on the history of modern (18th-21st centuary) anatomy, including its mis use in eugenics and the necessity of confronting this history and communicating current science.

Greatly appreciated the plenary speech by @carlzimmer.com @anatomyorg.bsky.social drawing on material from 'she has her mother's laugh' to discuss Anatomy and its relationship to heredity, its history, mis use and the necessity of communicating current science.

PERIPHERAL NERVE INJURY

I would go for relative nerve fibre diameter, motor nerves are chunky and less susceptible to the squish...ref www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... which leads me of course to the large fibres of the squid.... are they immune???

Classroom/Library enrollment was down pretty bad in February. National chaos and uncertainly likely has something to do with it.

Can you help me make sure that all the educators on bluesky know Skype a Scientist exists and is ready to connect them with scientists? Every RT helps!
