Happy International Love Methods week!
The Crick partners with @protocolsio.bsky.social to share open methods, and if you happen to be a Crick researcher, you can use their protocol writing up service for free (while codes last!)

We will import and format your protocol
Paper protocols floating on your benchtops? We can digitize them for you!

Did you know there's a starter pack to help you find people who've worked at the Crick?
If you're on here and you'd like to be added, let us or @drbeth.bsky.social know!

So I did a bit of a search around and these are the past and present Francis Crick Institute folks that I could find.
I can't guarantee they're talking about science, but if they are, you know it's going to be cool science 😉

Can AI accelerate exciting science, or is it just giving us more incremental papers to wade through?

The Crash Course lectures at the @crick.ac.uk are a really great introduction to a biomedical subject.
Check out this one by @kathaschmack.bsky.social talking about psychosis and the research that her lab is doing.

Ready for a crash course in psychosis?
My recent public lecture is now on YouTube! I explain what psychosis is, what we are doing about it in the lab, and what the future may hold.

The library is on tour today, lending books in the atrium for the Christmas break.
We've built ourselves a Christmas tree and a Snowman. What do you think? 🎄⛄️

Did you know that our Head of Library & Information Services at @crick.ac.uk published a book last year?
A great resource for library staff to up their EDI game, but as it covers events, hiring etc. non-library ppl might also like it.
If you're at the Crick, we've got a copy in reading corner.

Want to read my book but don't have access to a library that has it? 50% off means this might be the time to buy it 😉
