Understanding the cellular environment, its interactions with cells and the changes that take place during disease is key in many research fields. Great to see this new in vitro imaging method in combination with synthetic hydrogels that could replace some in vivo studies QT:

When I add too many beads in my optical trapping experiment 😅

Unable to spell chrsomsmes right the first time 🤪

So if you're coming over the UK for a three-year postdoc (£34k-£42k/year, call it), bringing a spouse and two kids, that's almost £15,000 that you need to pay PUT OF POCKET. Many unis/grants will reimburse visa costs, but few (none?) NHS charges.

Celebrating passing the life in the UK test by buying stationary and not checking my emails. 😄

I hope the prime minister is aware that salaries of postdoctoral researchers have reached such a low level in this country that this law would make it impossible for UK scientists to employ international experts It would be a huge own goal!

A great opportunity for anyone looking to pursue a phd - to be part of Jenny's team working on truly exciting and super-multidisciplinary science.

To me a future in UK academia is looking more and more untenable. I don't know what lies ahead but there will have to be some big career decisions in the next year theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Visa costs for researchers and innovators to move into the UK are up to seventeen times higher than the average, according to new analysis commissioned by the Royal Society and undertaken by Fragomen, undermining our ability to attract global talent to work in academia and

If you love chromosomes (who doesnt!) then I ho ho hope you enjoy reading about our latest work on BioRxiv, relating to the chromosome periphery (CP) - the least understood chromosome compartment. 2 Stories - see below...

2) There are still many basic unknowns. For example does this enigmatic sheath provide chromosomes with biophysical/biomechanical properties... biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Awesome work from Tania Mendonca & a brill multi-disciplinary team Amanda Wright Neil Kad Manlio Tassieri
