A new Nature Index data set shows that progress towards gender equity in research continues to be slow. With just 27% of high-quality papers in the natural sciences having female co-authors in 2024, there is a lot of room for improvement #AcademicSky 🧪 #womeninSTEM www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Very inspiring talks at the 10th anniversary science for life conference @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social Impressed by other fields, such as Ben Lehner’s talk. Great venue in the Beatrix theatre. Science as art.

A few yrs ago we spent $10K on trialing antibodies. Only a few worked well. The good news is we got refunds for everything that didn’t work! Just need to push the companies. Don’t suffer in silence! Great to see more effort/avenues for improving reliability and reproducibility of Abs! #immunosky
