@British_Airways @aplanegeek I am utterly fed up with the app too…as @aplanegeek says, it’s been going on for years, the same bugs no fixes.

[Nicola Stead 🇪🇺 @MlleChromatin]

@British_Airways When? It’s been years!

[Nicola Stead 🇪🇺 @MlleChromatin]

@British_Airways when are you going to fix your app? It’s been years that it’s had this problem

[Nicola Stead 🇪🇺 @MlleChromatin]

Can some tell me what I’m doing wrong with this @TLRailUK captcha. I’ve tried 15 times and it’s not working, convinced that only a robot/AI tool could solve these things! #sendhelp

[Nicola Stead 🇪🇺 @MlleChromatin]

As a former PLOS ONE editor, just wish it was quoted as PLOS ONE…not PLoS ONE!

[Nicola Stead 🇪🇺 @MlleChromatin]

3/4 science stories in the @nytimes international addition are studies published in #OpenAccess journals that don’t judge science on perceived impact @PLOSONE @SciReports. Just goes to show that the research published in these journals do make a wide impact!

@DrAdyaMisra Stop checking your email 😊

[Nicola Stead 🇪🇺 @MlleChromatin]

Finishing #CellBio2022 strong with an engaging talk by Bob Goldstein looking at #tarigrades and the molecular changes in response to desiccation & ionising radiation

[Nicola Stead 🇪🇺 @MlleChromatin]

Incredible amounts of protocol development by @accorsi_alice to study camera eye regeneration in new model system the snail P canaliculata - some published in @BMCBiology #CellBio2022

[Nicola Stead 🇪🇺 @MlleChromatin]

Great to see #datareuse by the @erhardtLab using available ChIP-seq database to align to the new T2T genome assembly to identify new proteins associated with the centrosome #CellBio2022

[Nicola Stead 🇪🇺 @MlleChromatin]

Lovely talk by @JessFellmeth in the penultimate #CellBio2022 session ‘centromere structure & function’ looking at CENP-C loading during prophase in drosophila oocytes. Looking forward to the #preprint

[Jan Soroczynski @Jan_Soro]

Interested in making buckets of Tn5 for your ATAC, CUT&Tag, tagmentation experiments? Come see our poster at B303 #ASCB #OpenTn5

[Nicola Stead 🇪🇺 @MlleChromatin]

Is the Epigenetic fate linked to the mechanical state? @dpmelters uses single molecule trafficking of CENP-A nucleosome to look at their dynamics #CellBio2022 preprint on @biorxivpreprint

[Nicola Stead 🇪🇺 @MlleChromatin]

Lots of great #lipiddroplet research at #CellBio2022, @naaatalieortiz looks at the role of lipid droplet surface protein Bsc2 regulating TG lipolysis

[Nicola Stead 🇪🇺 @MlleChromatin]

Is low pHi needed for exit of G1? Using FUCCI reporters Julia Spear shows pHi is dynamic throughout the #cellcycle and manipulation of pHi strongly suggests pHi is important for cell cycle progression & low pHi dramatically shortens G1 #CellBio2022

[Nicola Stead 🇪🇺 @MlleChromatin]

Beautiful talk from @Neal_Lab in the today’s #CellBio2022 symposia session showing the work of @SatarupaBhaduri on the ERAD independent role of dfm1 in sphingolipid homeostasis involving lipid thinning and the EGAD pathway

[Nicola Stead 🇪🇺 @MlleChromatin]

Fascinating talk from Don Cleveland looking at ecDNA showing chromothripsis drives ecDNA formation in micronuclei, identifying a nuclease responsible for chattering and investigation mitotic tethering to put shattered chromosomes back together #CellBio2022

[Julian Carosi @JulianMCarosi]

I am incredibly excited to be a Guest Editor for the upcoming "Membrane and Protein Trafficking" collection in #BMCMolCellBiol @BMC_series alongside @MassimoMicaroni & @MlleChromatin.
