A very warm 👋welcome👋 to new @unibas.ch PhD student Victoria who joined our team earlier this month! Victoria carried out a 6mo. internship with us last year during her MSc @unistra.fr & will continue her work on developing #GlycoTime anti-virulence therapies thanks to 💰 support @snsf-ch.bsky.social

This is happening at the University of Glasgow today, women in STEM have been asked to get together to write the word STEM so a drone can take a picture. In my opinion, this act will do nothing for the advancement of women in STEM. It is nice, it will be a good picture. #WomenInSTEM

This is a screenshot of an instagram post asking women in stem at the University of Glasgow to come and pose for a picture.

Proud of @faezehjame.bsky.social and our latest paper on upregulation by #miRNA. miRNA upregulate protein expression of CD98hc, ST3GAL1 and ST3GAL2 in a coordinated manner. Regulation is bidirectional, changing the picture on how these #RNA work. #glycotime www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧪

Periodic table colored by lickability. 😛

The periodic table color-coded by liability. Most of the elements are green, which means they can be licked. All of the elements along the bottom row, as well as a few other elements are purple, which means you should not lick them. Most of the elements in group one two and 17 are not lickable

I mostly see the protein sculptures I build in the lighting of my workshop. It’s fairly static and dull lighting. When they are close to being finished, I bring them into the house and enjoy watching how they change under different natural lighting throughout the day. They are so much more dynamic!
