Dearest all: I am looking for a queer-owned store that would sell rolls of stickers (or something as in tens of them) with pronouns for handing them out upon registration at the German Fish Meeting. Any pointer/s and RT appreciated! 🧪🐟

📣 After 5 years, the last paper from my PhD is finally out in #ScienceTranslationalMedicine! We show that sustained tissue inflammation drives disease progression in #Buruliulcer. And targeting it alongside antibiotics can accelerate healing. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The orphan receptor GPR84 drives inflammation in Buruli ulcer development
The GPR84 orphan receptor is a regulator of inflammation and a candidate therapeutic target in Buruli ulcer.

“The hardest part of becoming a postdoc turned out to be learning how to leave my daughter behind,” this researcher writes. Read this Working Life essay: bit.ly/4r2jKmk #PostdocLife
An illustrated person stands with their hands on their hips, gazing at a child in front of them. The child has curly hair. The person's shadow shows an outline of a child. A landscape with water and grass is in the background. The headline reads, "How a research trip helped me overcome separation anxiety as a new mother," with a "Working Life" label above.

Grants writing tips: (1) Rejections are totally normal, have faith in your idea, push it and improve it; (2) Every panel is different. Study it and prepare your grant for them; (3) Grant-writing takes months. Plan it and get diverse feedback and (4) Have fun with it! The work there is never wasted 😜

“How has scientific knowledge in your discipline changed the possibilities of human action?”🤔 My immediate answer: it hasn’t. And that doesn’t trouble me — any more than a symphony orchestra’s lack of “productivity” should trouble us. It may not produce economic goods, but it’s vital to our society
