Martina Delbianco Wins the Prestigious Feltrinelli Prize for Groundbreaking Research on Carbohydrate Materials

@delbiancom.bsky.social received the Feltrinelli #Prize for her research on carbohydrate-based materials. She synthesizes well-defined #carbohydrates using automated methods. With her team, she engineers synthetic sugar chains that adopt shapes from helices to sheets.

A very warm 👋welcome👋 to new @unibas.ch PhD student Victoria who joined our team earlier this month! Victoria carried out a 6mo. internship with us last year during her MSc @unistra.fr & will continue her work on developing #GlycoTime anti-virulence therapies thanks to 💰 support @snsf-ch.bsky.social

Exactly along the lines of what I was thinking ... women expected to be using their time to spell STEM for a photo, while men get to use that time to write papers, advance their research, etc.

I'm sure it was well intentioned, but in practice has the opposite effect 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is a screenshot of an instagram post asking women in stem at the University of Glasgow to come and pose for a picture.

This is happening at the University of Glasgow today, women in STEM have been asked to get together to write the word STEM so a drone can take a picture. In my opinion, this act will do nothing for the advancement of women in STEM. It is nice, it will be a good picture. #WomenInSTEM

Picture of our new team member, Arnaud, wearing a long black jacket and black hat, standing on a rocky beach with a coastline dense with buildings visible in the background.

🌟 Big welcome to our new team member, Arnaud! 🌟

We're thrilled to have Arnaud join our team @unibas.ch for his MSc Pharmacy project, where he will be 🔍 investigating the role of some new glycan structures in regulating bacterial virulence 🦠🧪 #GlycoTime #DrugDevelopment

Screening the human miRNA interactome reveals coordinated up-regulation in melanoma, adding bidirectional regulation to miRNA networks Analysis of ST3GAL1/2 and CD98hc regulation by miRNA reveals co–up-regulation, adding a bidirectional twist to miRNA networks.

Proud of @faezehjame.bsky.social and our latest paper on upregulation by #miRNA. miRNA upregulate protein expression of CD98hc, ST3GAL1 and ST3GAL2 in a coordinated manner. Regulation is bidirectional, changing the picture on how these #RNA work. #glycotime

What an entertaining talk!!

Using humour to address a difficult subject, Kannon is so engaging and effective at bringing awareness to representation in science and the language we choose to discuss our results.

Plus ... FROGS!!! 🐸😍🐸😍🐸

#QueerInSTEM #AcademicChatter

That was absolutely fantastic, thank you so much for sharing!! 🙏 You're such an engaging and entertaining speaker, and have done a great job of using humour to bring awareness to an important but delicate topic 🐸🐸🐸

Welcome to the Bluesky community 👋👋👋

Colleagues, Students, Postdocs, Collaborators and Friends of Sir Fraser Stoddart: I am writing with the sad news that Fraser passed away suddenly on 31 Dec (Australia time) while on holiday with family. No details yet on any services. He is irreplaceable.

The periodic table color-coded by liability. Most of the elements are green, which means they can be licked. All of the elements along the bottom row, as well as a few other elements are purple, which means you should not lick them. Most of the elements in group one two and 17 are not lickable

Periodic table colored by lickability. 😛
