Amazing lab, doing fantastic work. Highly recommend. And it's in Dundee, which is obviously a bonus. 😜

Great model organism, great project, great labs, great location. If you are thinking about doing a PhD, what more do you want?

I'm a bit late to the party over here. I'll be advertising a BBSRC-funded postdoc position soon. So if anyone wants to solve some outstanding questions in limb development - please get in touch. We have a variety of models and approaches (everything from stem cells to sharks). towerslab.weebly.com

Looks a bit windier in Tayport though... Wind speeds in knots below

Graph showing the wind speed on 4th of August in Tayport. Average wind speeds through the day rising to around 22knots with gusts in the high 40s. Max gust at 49.6 knots

Slightly terrifying but we are now closer to year 2050 than to 2000...

Great sounding projects, Brian! Is there a deadline for applications, or should interested parties simply get in touch to discuss? Just want to have the info before I circulate to some of my undergraduates

...of genes found to be enriched. Overlap between the 3 studies had only one gene. I now teach this example as a caution to u/grad students to not believe the hype... Inevitable with new tech but proteomics I thought more mature than that... (2/2)

Ha! This reminds me of early microarray papers from 2002 comparing stem vs differentiated cell gene expr tonidentifyb'stemness' genes. 2 studies back to back in science, similar number of DEGs but really poor correlation. A third study a few months later, same number... (1/2)

I recently made a comic complaining that NASA refuses to listen to my good ideas for improving the Solar System (xkcd.com/2750). To my delight, NASA’s Science Mission Directorate has sent me an actual expert panel evaluation of my “flatten the planets” proposal! Sadly, they decided not to fund it.
