$350 million dollars every year that sits unused instead of supporting medical researchers who want nothing more than to find you answers.

We've enjoyed having Marise and Samara from the lab of @melaniedwhite.bsky.social here to image quail embryos on our MOSAIC system. We wish them safe travels home and happy data analyzing!
Forest and woodland across an area more than 1,000 times the size of the Sydney CBD was bulldozed in Queensland in 2022-23, newly published figures show

Almost two weeks into our imaging project with @aicjanelia.bsky.social, and I’m still struck by how gorgeous this campus is every day!
A little bit of citizen science last night at the Janelia Research Campus. Happy Moth week!
Apical Constriction - One of the most fundamental changes to cell shape, crucial for the earliest stages of development but still so much to learn!!

I’m so excited to share my latest article written for IMB!!!
Inspired by the international women’s day theme of accelerating action, I reflect on the current state of scientific research for and by women. (Safe to say there is plenty of room for improvement)

My first post on Bluesky! Very excited to share our work just published in @science.org. We find that “Interphase cell morphology defines the mode, symmetry, and outcome of mitosis” - in angiogenesis and other tissues! www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1... www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1...
A chart in The Australian showing polling results for Australian political parties. It’s a pie chart, where the radius of each ‘piece’ has been scaled, making the area of each piece disproportionate.
Credit to The Australian for finding new ways to commit heinous chart crimes… if you’re going to insist on using a pie chart to visually show proportions, you can’t also scale the radius of each respective pie piece.
As we head into the final days of the Australian election, I want to reshare pieces that I wrote, that I think reflect where the major parties are at on climate.
My case for the Greens/Independents:

The Western has spoken! I will be having a good weekend 🙌
Imaging western blots on a Friday can really make or break your weekend 🫣 cross your fingers for me 🤞
My copy just came in!
I’ve only just started reading it but unsurprisingly this is already an incredibly engaging and thought provoking piece of science writing.
I can’t wait to get further into it!
12 years of waiting later… “Sunrise on the Reaping” is out today!!
Please don’t contact me for the next 24-48 hours 🌅
Absolutely dead serious: D&D nerds are exactly who you want doing this kind of work.
Last year, in more optimistic times, I even wrote a little guide for DMs who want to get involved in local politics: Roll for Climate Initiative: A Dungeon Master’s Guide to Running for Local Public Office
Trust a guy named Alfred to rain out #IWD
I hope everyone is staying safe and remember to #AccelerateAction
