In-person tickets open: The Shape of Shells 🐚 gres.hm/shape-shells Seashells, built by molluscs layer by layer, follow simple mathematical rules that create beautiful self-similar forms. Prof Alain Goriely* explains how we get various shapes, spines & wrinkles *also of Oxford Mathematics

Congratulations to @agoriely.bsky.social on being awarded the Spinoza chair by @amsterdamumc.bsky.social 🎉 In June, Prof Goriely will give her Spinoza lecture on how new genetic mutations arise in the testes, their increase in frequency as men age, and how they can lead to serious genetic diseases.

For International Women's Day tomorrow, we asked some of our female scientists, including @agoriely.bsky.social & @sumanasharma.bsky.social, to reflect on why this day is so important, the barriers and biases women can face in their careers, and which women have inspired them. #IWD2025

A fantastic trip to King George V college in Southport for #RareDiseaseDay for our "We are all Mutants" workshop! Students discussed the criteria for inclusion of diseases in the newborn screening program & assessed the ethical dilemmas with whole genome sequencing. #Genomics @cpmoxford.bsky.social

Resharing here a recent X post. In this preprint, we introduce an improved version of NanoSeq, a duplex sequencing protocol with <5 errors per billion bp in single DNA molecules, and use it to study the somatic mutation landscape of oral epithelium in >1000 people. 1/ www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Somatic mutation and selection at epidemiological scale
As we age, many tissues become colonised by microscopic clones carrying somatic driver mutations ([1][1]–[10][2]. Some of these clones represent a first step towards cancer whereas others may contribu...

Inspired by the other amazing starter packs - here's one for cancer researchers! I tried to make this broad - from immunology to genomics to cell biology and so much more.. This list also includes organizations & institutes supporting cancer researchers 🧪🔬⚕️🩺 Hope its useful! go.bsky.app/FEoaJMc

I couldn't spot a starter pack for rare disease / clinical genomics, so I started one: go.bsky.app/SUWZ9Hw Very much a work in progress, and biased by who I have already found here, so please suggest people to add! Self-nominations encouraged. #ClinicalInformatics #genomics #bioinformatics 🖥️🧬
