At a recent conference I decided to do something a bit different for my poster - and it paid off. I finally realised, a poster should be about starting conversations, not just showing results. This got me thinking #blog #SciComm @Better_Posters

"Don't stir using the pH probe" must be one of the most ignored lab instructions ever. If you've done it then own up and raise your hand

Did you know that side-shoots must be manually removed from commercial cucumber vines? This IN BRIEF @ThePlantCell summarises a study of genes controlling cucumber tendrils and branching and their potential to increase agricultural productivity https://t.co/RpP2wJoihh #PlantSci

For a summary of an interesting paper revealing one way plants can respond to unexpected cold snaps, see my latest IN BRIEF (clue: it involves temperature-sensitive changes in protein localisation 😉)

@qian_lydia Congrats! 🥳🎉

@MerlinCrossley I think to be classified as a "fast train" the train needs to be able to beat the bus, right? If I am not mistaken, the bus to Canberra takes 3h and the train 3.5h 😂 but I suppose the bus can get stuck in traffic, so the train gets points for that. Enjoy =-)

Who does this???

@BullCrys When one of our technicians retired she 'gifted' some reagents to me. One of them was Proteinase K dated 1982. I politely accepted her reagents then quietly disposed of them 😂 treat yourself and order some new water 😅

I did not expect to see the November sun today @HHU_de. Happy Friday!

@mediocre_jake Only 1 week left! December will be better 😉

@Simon_Hammann Now I finally know what this European bird is called. Thanks! I won't tell you how long it was before I realised a Rotkehlchen was just a robin...

@floryannelli Sending +ive vibes ❤️ I was having one of those weeks/months (filling out German residence permit applications x4 tipped me over the edge), so I gave myself a mental health day. No emails, no work, just hiking and a cafe. I feel much better. Be kind to yourself, you deserve it

[Vicky Howe @DrVickyHowe]

@floryannelli Are you ok?

[Vicky Howe @DrVickyHowe]

It's normal to be excited by the appearance of a new tape dispenser in the lab, right? Look at all the *colours* 🌈🤩

[Vicky Howe @DrVickyHowe]

@BullCrys That is very cool. I have to show my kids!
