Quite crazy! Let's not feed the war machine, let's not make mega rich richer (arms lobby hello), let's not kill and destroy life now or forever by making things boil! Makes no sense eh?...

Mood.

Very nice to see this in shape! Kudos to the wonderful Celine Cansell that led the work and to her former boss @michaelrera.bsky.social. Let the JEDI @fly-jedi.bsky.social preprints flow (2x) @richardsever.bsky.social.

Interesting postdoc opportunity at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.

Get in and fill the form out peeps!!!!

Nice!!!!!!!!

Big congratulations @maheandria.bsky.social !!!!!!!!!

Lovely!!!!!

Just sending a message of love and support to the trans community today. Come for one of us, face us all!

So in less than 2 months my essay on 'EOKA 70 Years On' that I never planned to write is the most viewed/downloaded on @jich.bsky.social for the last year! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

Israel is being portrayed as the victim as it launches a war of aggression against Iran. It's committing genocide, invading its neighbours, committing every war crime under the sun. Feel like you're losing your mind? Well, you're not. New column 👇 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The pain of scientists is on both sides & am glad this article that i interviewed for tries to bring that perspective. Escalating Israel–Iran conflict damages science labs & scientists on both sides #Peace_Now #Peace_everywhere (& am not getting here into the crimes against palestinian academia)

Μητσοτάκης-Σίσι κονιορτοποιούν το διεθνές δίκαιο στηρίζοντας τους πολέμους & την γενοκτονία του αρχιτροκοκράτη, επικηρυγμένου από το ΔΠΠ, Νετανιάχου. Το Δόγμα Κοτζιά-Τσίπρα-Μητσοτάκη περί "επωφελούς" Συμμαχίας με Ισραήλ υπονομεύει την χώρα www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYY0... x.com/yanisvaroufa...

Having a great time at the Crete fly circuit meeting!

Beautiful Crete! Thank the world for good friends!

Microbiomes shape our biology from gut-brain, skin, immunology, and more. Here, Rebecka Sepela et al explores octopus “taste by touch” sensation to ask how environmental microbiomes drive animal behavior. @cellpress.bsky.social, @mblscience.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

One thing about getting older is that feeling like every few years we have the largest peaceful protest in history and then everyone goes home and the thing we were protesting against happens anyway

A ton of thirst for war in the west..

Ever wondered how a single ribosomal protein dictates cellular survival in competitive environments? Our research reveals that RpS12 marks cells as "losers" by inducing the short isoform of stress factor Xrp1. Special thanks to my incredible collaborators and friends. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We want to thank everyone who attended this year's #Drosophila JEDI meeting at Château du Feÿ! Three days of amazing talks, great ideas and chat at the camp fire. We are looking forward to meeting everyone again at the next meeting!

🔬 Thanks to 7T fMRI, researchers from Paris Brain Institute and NeuroSpin, the @cea.fr's neuroimaging centre, are exploring the neural substrate of visual imagery at very high resolution for the first time. 👉 Find out more: parisbraininstitute.org/news/aphanta...

Two postdoc positions in the lab within the ERC Synergy project "Chronology" in collaboration with S. Ostojic, M. Jazayeri and V. van Wassenhove @virginievanw.bsky.social . Two focuses: sound sequences representations across the brain & novel all-optical technology. Contact: [email protected]

Lying bastards in that paper honestly. Of course the damage is done.

Comfort food!

Στον πατέρα που μου έμαθε οτι τέτοιες γιορτές είναι φτιαχτές, και πως την αγάπη την δείχνουμε δίνοντας λίγο από εμάς κάθε μέρα! Χρόνια πολλά μπαμπά!

congrats to Deana in the Kraushar Lab @molgen.mpg.de on an exceptional Master's thesis presentation today - a theoretical basis for the chemistry of the nucleolus, the ribosome construction site 👏

Just so u know, these 'military ppl' & 'nuclear scientists' don't live in a cave, tucked away from the rest of the population. They live in residential areas, AMONG ordinary ppl. Media reports are quite disingenuous & outrageous... & to be clear, Israel has no right doing what it's doing. #NoToWar

It's the end of the world as we know it...oh wait, we knew that! x.com/AdameMedia/s...

It is happening! Great opportunity! #happyPhD

This is the lab you want to be in!! Apply to join @clairewyart.bsky.social and her team!!!

updated connectionist preprint with some improvements due to great feedback on some points, e.g. refinement of the point on how concepts like "neurobiological plausibility" and so-called "bridge laws" are sadly nonsense (see extracts below from section 2.1, and PDF for full: doi.org/10.31234/osf...)

This hole was burned in ~20 seconds using only the New Mexico sunshine. This cast-iron pan was used as a demonstration of the White Sands Missile Range 'Solar Furnace'. It's a 1,000 sq ft mirror array that can produce temperatures of 5,000 °F (2800 °C). (📷: New Mexico History Museum)

I don't understand the critique of "the Madleen was an attention seeking stunt". Yes, and? It was a stunt to draw attention to Israel deliberately starving an entire people, facilitated by the West. That was literally the entire point

Real fun hosting @chaichinta.bsky.social to discuss how to merge theory and experiments in ATP diffusion in axons. Thanks to @kavlifoundation.org for funding these exchanges!

This is tomorrow! Join us & help being together action for migrants’ rights, Palestinian & Ukrainian freedom & self determination, climate justice & the fight against wealth inequality💪 All under one roof. All against Trump. www.tickettailor.com/events/stopt...

Στο νοσοκομείο, 85 χρόνων βετεράνος, αντιστασιακός, βλεπει με τη κόρη του την κόκκινη βούλα του Μαντλίν που πλησίαζε στη Γάζα, λίγο πριν χάθει το σήμα, -οριζοντιωμένος στο φορείο και με παροχή οξυγόνου στη μύτη- λέει πόσο ήθελε να είναι κι αυτός εκεί. Το πάθος για ζωή δε σβήνει! Πάμε!
