Oh my. Seems I have become a convert to the cytoskeleton.

*I am guilty of this is nearly all my publications. Soon I will be using the word 'leverage'.

Mouse, shrew or vole? Found this little guy lethargic on the patio.

Who says you need fancy microscopes to study biology?

That time of year again when I make my Mendel impression. I suppose these are peaches and not peas, and will be furry not wrinkled, and I'm a biochemist not a geneticist, but I'm claiming it anyway.

Baby guppies! Did you know: guppies have 23 chromosomes, the same as humans.

The word 'leverage' in biomedical literature (as search by Pubmed trends). I wonder what is behind it. Every other abstract I read now seems to be leveraging.

Potato or DNA polymerase?

Spring has arrived and yes, the two bunnies we got in Autumn were a boy and a girl.

They say life becomes boring in middle age, but I recorded both a Eurasian Green Woodpecker AND a Rose-ringed Parakeet on my lunch break today. So there.

Seeds in a PCR tube? This is combining work and play.

Mendel vibes in the greenhouse this morning.

Feeling distinctly mediterranen in the greenhouse today.

Mid-November and still going strong, but will my hollyhocks last into December?

They took a little encouragement, but got there in the end:

"Colours are a bit off. Use hexadecimal code to make them more reflective". Beautiful.

Bowchro @bowchro.bsky.social · 13/11/2024

Should one use the colour of their institution in figures, and should one use ChatGPT to do it?

The British compulsion for play-on-words is a disease.

For those paying for Adobe illustrator from tight budgets, try Figma - free for education institutions and just as good (once you get used to it quirks!). www.figma.com

Teaching finished. Cells resuscitated. Science begins.

Panic over. Normalcy resumed in the following paragraph, i.e. figure references being put in brackets (where they belong!).

Bowchro @bowchro.bsky.social · 04/11/2024

I just spent a day marking students work and telling them to stop using "In Figure x, ...." or "Figiure X shows, ....". But then I read the AF3 paper published earlier this year in Nature and it is everywhere! Is this now ok? Have I been wrongfully penalising students (perish the thought)!?

I missed lunch today because of teaching, but fortunately someone left one and a half marrows and a jar of honey on my desk.

Teaching the next gen how to purify recombinant histones.... and having a good workout on the dounce at the same time.

There is an R color palette in my current flock's eggs im sure.

Spotted today in the garden. ID anyone (middle England)?

Reposting from twitter. Is this a fossil or a drill hole? Found on a beach in Wales.

Ah, revisiting the days when topology was easy and fun.

Something tells me Spring is around the corner.
