1. Maduro is not a good guy by any stretch of the imagination.
2. But capturing him through an extra-legal action that violates international law undermines any US credibility with Russia in Ukraine and China with Taiwan.
3. We have a terrible history with topping leaders without a post-war plan.
I’m certainly a lucky person to have such thoughtful & caring people in the lab. I’m transparent with them with regards to setbacks, failure, and resilience but this gesture was just beyond.
Muy cierto!
So so happy for you!!! Well done Alejandro!! Fuerte abrazo!
Congrats Doug and team!
Congratulations!
Beautiful story, congratulations everyone!
The Brilliant and Super Bright dyes really do need the Brilliant Stain buffers, but be aware that these buffers are mildly fluorescent, so leave them out if you don't need the dye, and titrate them down when you use them. For many antibodies you'll get better effect at 20-fold less (and cheaper)
We're looking for a Lead Scientist to join Flow Cytometry Centre in Aberdeen! Fantastic opportunity to deliver services, work with varied research groups, promote cytometry and further develop the facility. Aberdeen is a great place to live/work- APPLY NOW www.abdnjobs.co.uk/vacancy/cyto...
Anyway, here is some actually incredible news

We now have a very exciting technician post advertised as part of our long term Wellcome Trust funded team investigating the role of the glycocalyx during CNS inflammation. Supporint the lab, developing glycan analysis and research experience www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai...
Hopefully it’ll be for EVERYONE and not just for Americans.
Reform's ‘plan’ to revoke the legal status of millions of UK residents is morally abhorrent & economic madness
The public believe in fairness & mutual respect, not this cruel Trumpian policy that would leave us all poorer. We are not America - we must resist this dangerous turn in British politics.
Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain.
They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city.
Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.
Congratulations Tara!!! 🎉🎉
For our #flowcytometry peeps, would you like to have a single fix/perm protocol that is optimised for everything? One that preserves fluorophores while allowing simultaneous TF and cytokine staining? How about 100-fold cheaper?
You got it:

Freebie webinar on career development coming up...
Aberdeen is hiring - Neuroimmunology Lectureship! Really exciting opportunity to join our supportive, collaborative and multidisciplinary Institute to carry out cutting edge translation research. Not to mention the scenery in the North East of Scotland is amazing www.abdn.ac.uk/jobs/vacanci...
Scientific productivity gap based on English-language peer-reviewed papers. Shown are the maximum % differences in the number of peer-reviewed papers published by female native English speakers from a high-income country (-45%), female non-native English speakers from a high-income country (-60%), and female non-native English speakers from a lower-middle income country (-70%), compared to male native English speakers from a high-income country (red flag).

How do your #linguistic, #economic & #gender backgrounds impact your #scientific productivity? @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social & co reveal that being a woman, a non-native English speaker, and from a low-income country is associated with a 70% reduction in productivity @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4n3RLRQ

Excellent opportunity in one of the best neuroimmunology & glycobiology around 👇🏼
This is beautiful Rebecca!
A sad reality… gaslighting and performative actions are still the norm.

Congratulations!
This was such a great advice, Adrian. I went back over my budget and was able to identify our burn-rate & spotted a few transactions that shouldn’t have been charged to my grant. Everyone in the lab came together & helped me figure out a way to monitor expenses, so it was a great team exercise.
These amazing women are the first cohort of postdocs from the lab. Their enthusiasm & passion for science make this job worth doing. My gratitude goes out to them! @lydiabeckeriii.bsky.social
Lastly we have Jessica Costa, who joined us after completing a PhD in neuroscience in Portugal. She’s our “brain & behaviour” person. In the lab, Jessica is leading projects on sleep & memory regulation during infections, & more recently on intrauterine & perinatal neurodevelopment (stay tuned!) 4/5
Chloe Barnes @chloebarnes.bsky.social joined us after completing her doctoral studies with @lucyhjackson-j.bsky.social Chloe brings expertise in trypanosomes & gut immunology. In the lab, Chloe is investigating how chronic infection-induced gut inflammation alters the gut-brain axis. 3/5
Alice Costain joined me from Andrew MacDonald’s lab when I was setting up my lab. She brought a wealth of knowledge in parasitology and immunology, but most importantly, she helped me shake the imposter syndrome off (a bit at least!). She focusses on the role of B cells in neuroinflammation. 2/5
