Were ready for #neurobiouk 🤩

And we are underway at #NeuroBioUK STEM Learning The first two talks are on neurodegeneration and #CMT so I'm a happy CRO 🙂 #CMTresearch #CMTASTAR #LetsBeatCMT

#neurobiouk has officially started with @Poppi62 discussing the mechanistic link between motor proteins and neurodegenration

Many thanks to Corinne Houart for being our plenary speaker for this year #NeuroBioUK

Ali Twelvetrees Many thanks to you, Alex Fellows and Ines Hahn for organising a truly inspiring conference. Excellent talks and fantastic scientific discussions at the poster session with so many outstanding early career researchers #NeuroBioUK Can’t wait for next year’s event!

First UK conference, first #NeuroBioUK, first Paul Donlin-Asp 🏳️‍🌈 lab poster, first place postdoc poster, and anniversary of my first year as a PD in Edinburgh🥇

In this (very long) thread on the rise, fall, and end of coal powered electricity production in the U.K., Rugeley power station didn’t get a picture - I can’t let that stand, so here’s one from my wall. Thread starts here > x.com/EngineerLondon…

2 weeks to go until our free-for-members Early Career Symposium, where ECR bioscientists will learn from a range of speakers about entrepreneurship, diverse career paths, and becoming a lab leader. Register today to be involved! ow.ly/kgxx50TB0IM

A last weekend of reading, travel to London, then in a meeting room for two days and finally a day to recover (sitting alone at home). Conclusion, grant panels are bad for your health… 🤪

Look north Sheffield!!! (And up)

We were very sorry to learn of the death this week of our friend and colleague Prof. David Stephens. As a scientist and educator David touched the lives of countless biochemists and cell biologists, and he will be fondly remembered. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

So sorry to hear this. David was an enthusiastic and supportive scientist and great colleague. I will always remember his smile and optimism. Loss of a cell biology champion- David Stephens (1971-2024): UK Cilia Network cilianetwork.org.uk/news/4669/loss… via Robert Dang

Indeed this is an awful decision and makes a mockery of all of our science. I’ve signed and have been spreading the word. We have to fight this so we can fight MND

Delighted to share our latest paper 'Severe dynein dysfunction in cholinergic neurons exacerbates ALS-like phenotypes in a new mouse model'. Read at doi.org/10.1016/j.bbad… Funded by MND Association MND Association

Count all the molecules! 💪🎉

Recording synaptic minis (mEPSCs)? We have a new paper trying to better understand how recorded datasets match synaptic changes. In short, they don't.. More info and the preprint below:

This story got a lot of interest, so an update: the science-integrity startup Argos has now posted full searchable dasboards of research journals, with their volume/rate of retractions and 'high-risk' papers. scitility.com/argos
