Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 08/10/2025Not much to add to all of the lovely tributes that have been coming in, but just to note for those that didn’t know him - he really was a great scientist, character and visionary. 070
Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 31/07/2025The Dunn School is a really great environment for taking up a Career Development Fellowship, and we are looking for candidates! Please spread the word. 084

Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 09/05/2025Looking forward to todays Symposium in honour of our dear friend and colleague Béla Novák (1956-2025). A fantastic cast lined up to celebrate his life and his many accomplishments. 0243
Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 08/05/2025Congratulations Richard! Have to admit I’ve never heard of this list, but great for publishing that you are on it! Cover of Time next? 150
Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 07/04/2025David really was one of the good guys. Smart, friendly and fun to be around. So sad that he died so young. 030
Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 27/03/2025Sadaf was spectacular as usual, but Michel Milinkovitch’s talk on colour patterning in reptiles was the best for me in hearing about fascinating biology that I hadn’t thought about before. He did talk for too long though (although I hardly noticed as I was enjoying so much). 010

Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 21/01/2025For those who haven’t seen this yet. So brave. And I think they even look just slightly ashamed? 000
Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 25/12/2024Most inefficient Christmas dessert dish? Happy Holidays to all! 150
Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 20/12/2024Who could have predicted this?! This will be quite a party and (more importantly?) a great way for early career scientists to hear about other fields and to build their networks. Hope to see you there. 043
Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 20/12/2024And organising the free beer for the party afterwards was even more impressive! Great job. 161
Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 15/12/2024At #CellBio24 discussing the merits of US vs UK/EU science. No clear winner, but at least we can design a device to properly pour water. Who knew we were so clever? 170
Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 28/11/2024The Company of Biologists @biologists.bsky.social have been such great supporters of the biology community in the UK and around the world. Celebrating 100yrs at a meeting/party in Liverpool next year. Some great speakers (and me too). 04517
Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Looking forward to it! The weather in the uk is really miserable. 030
Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Looks like academics are making a decisive move over. Probably the least we can do. 081
Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 20/11/2024The lab has now officially moved over! Actually don’t think we posted on Twitter for ages - can’t be bothered to even check. @jrafflab.bsky.social 0212
Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 19/11/2024What do we think about this? I have to admit I often look at people’s profile when reviewing a grant, as often very little detail of applicant’s publications in the grant. I feel guilty, but am not sure it is irrelevant? Would love to ditch Google! 110
Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 08/11/2024Yes, I’d love to know where we are with this. Such a fantastic potential resource for the UK. But is it safe for us to all sign over our data? 020
Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 05/11/2024Remembering how US election night used to be fun on Twitter-informative and bonding even when result sad. Don’t even dare look now. Good luck to all friends, family and colleagues in US. Our thoughts are with you. 071
Reposted by Jordan RaffMatthew Freeman @mjafreeman.bsky.social · 31/10/2024Basically good news for science in the budget, with a caveat that detail is still to be released. But broadly, phew! 085
Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 24/10/2024In honour of ASCB CellSpeak Week (to promote science communication) and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek’s birthday (a pioneer in microscopy) - an image of centrioles (green) and the centrosomes they organise (red) in a living fly embryo. Thanks Antonie (and Alan W. in the lab for the image)! 0125
Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 18/09/2024This was a short and interesting morning read. Particularly love the conclusion: “I still prefer to live and work in Europe”! 110

Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 21/08/2024Technical ineptitude confirmed! Will have to figure out how to do this! 220
Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 21/08/2024Birmingham’s going bust. Here’s why everything you’ve heard about that is wrong. Haven’t posted link like this yet, so forgive me if technically inept. I read a lot about this a while ago but seems the reasons behind this tragic story may not be what they seemed. 010
Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 20/08/2024Think it will take me a while to get back into this, but this seems fun and useful - like Twitter used to be. 061
Jordan Raff @jordanraff.bsky.social · 18/08/2024Nice to be here and so glad all my Followers on Twitter have moved over too! 171
