How it started and how it’s going. Marching for science
in January 2017 and again in April 2017 virtually, because I was doing my #scicomm job at a conf in Vienna. And today I am still communicating, still showing up with all of you to #standupforscience2025 ・ #sciencenotsilence ・

From genome junk to Nobel prize ‘24, miRNAs are enjoying the spotlight. Awesome first example

Check out this paper from Busato et al, showing a first-of-its-kind analysis of 6 #miRNAs simultaneously by Silla #dPCR. A combination of miRNA-specific stem-loop primers and dPCR with hydrolysis probes produced linear and reproducible quantification results: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Fabulous example of #scicomm in this thread, using #Bluesky & walking us thru a great story of their recent pub using a mouse CRC model + Salmonella cancer therapy to induce anti-tumor Tcell responses. 👏 @mmimic.bsky.social #immunosky #microsky #metabolism
Finally! A🧵for our recent paper 🎉 #Immunosky #microsky #metabolism www.embopress.org/doi/full/10..... A cool host-microbe story, with some fun TCR signalling and metabolism so a bit for everybody. (quite long, so get some popcorn!) 1/12

I spoke to @mscribe.bsky.social @theguardian.com about the H5N1 case in BC.
More and more human cases are occurring, along with mutations that indicate further human adaptation.
We need to treat these cases like a warning, because that is what they are.
