Bristol Bone Biologists

Team #BristolBoneBiologists aim to show how #gravity affects joints in developing #zebrafish as part of the #ESA #SpinYourThesis2018 campaign 🌍💫✨🐠

[Bristol Bone Biologists @BristolBoneBios]

We are back with some exciting news!! The preprint of our results from @ESA__Education’s #SpinYourThesis2018 campaign are online now! 😁 in them we show how short-term exposure to hypergravity affects cartilage in developing zebrafish 🐟💫🔬

[bioRxiv @biorxivpreprint]

Exposure to hypergravity during development leads to altered cartilage material properties and strain distribution in zebrafish. https://t.co/EWj5B5Yf3S #bioRxiv

We have a Dr in the team!! Huge congratulations to Jessye for passing her viva! 🥳🥳🥳

Final preparations are in full swing for #SWZM19! Looking forward to lots of exciting zebrafish talk on Monday!

Like science? Like laughing? Like nice people? The Bristol Know Show is back next Thursday at the @WardrobeTheatre. There’s an absolute treat of a line up. It’s gonna be a blast! Tickets: https://t.co/Bd8Y9OrJtK

Excited to see my first paper on @biorxivpreprint 🎉

We (me, @Beck4science and collaborators) have been working hard to develop larval & adult zebrafish models to explore the in vivo world of extracellular vesicles.

There are just 8 days left to register for #SWZM19! It is free to attend thanks to @Co_Biologists and the programme is full of super exciting zebrafish research! Although it will be held in Bristol it is open to everyone🔬🧬🐟Link to register: https://t.co/ip4nVmusv7

The South West Zebrafish Meeting 2019 now has an awesome logo and a live website https://t.co/ip4nVmusv7! We also have Prof. Soojin Ryu as a confirmed speaker 😃 abstract deadline is 20/07/19!
Thanks to @Co_Biologists, Techniplast & @eurofins for their generous support! #SWZM19

[Aaron Scott @AaronJonScott]

Getting excited for the inaugural South West Zebrafish Meeting.
We have a date, Monday 9th September – put it in your diaries!
We have a super cool website, made by @LizzieALawrence and going live soon.
Oh, and #SWZM19 makes it totally official right!? @beth_moyse @ChrissyLHam

@ESA__Education @uniofbrighton @CubedPhp #SpinYourThesis offers master and PhD students the opportunity to design, build and test their own hypergravity experiment in the Large Diameter Centrifuge (LDC) in ESTEC.

@BristolUni's @BristolBoneBios took part in the 2018 campaign, studying zebrafish.

[Bristol Bone Biologists @BristolBoneBios]

We had a great time at @LibbyJackson__'s awesome talk last night - so inspiring to hear about women in space and it was fantastic to meet you! #womeninscience #womeninspace

[Bristol Bone Biologists @BristolBoneBios]

Our analyses of zebrafish behaviour from our centrifuge spin are done!
These videos show the zebrafish's response to vibrational stimuli as soon as they came out of the centrifuge - spot the difference...

Today we're in Belgium giving a presentation at the ESA Education Gravity-Related Experiments Training Week about our project 🐟💫🔬 On the way here we visited Namur where Finn made a giant turtle statue friend 🐢 We're also glad we're not missing out on the snow back home! ☃️

[Bristol Bone Biologists @BristolBoneBios]

@DrCaplin @ESA__Education We're excited to meet you too!

[Bristol Bone Biologists @BristolBoneBios]

'Tis the season in the lab! 🌟🐟
We've been busy working on our data from our experiment, and our behaviour analysis will soon be ready to show you 💫 we're hoping it's tree-mendous!… https://t.co/U6buJmnSzq

Had a great evening listening to the inspirational @NASA astronaut Steve Swanson share his experience of life in space with @ChrissyLHam 🚀 massive thanks to @LucyMMcGowan and @pintofscience for organising 😘 #spacenerds

[Bristol Bone Biologists @BristolBoneBios]

A fab opportunity to hear a NASA astronaut speak in Bristol! 🌟🚀

[Lucy McGowan @LucyMMcGowan]

Want to win tickets to the @pintofscience NASA #AstronautTour in Bristol with Steve Swanson? Here’s your chance from our generous sponsors @JGIBristol! Good luck! 🚀#Pint19
