Biology never ceases to amaze! 🤩#microscopy #immunology #cellbiology

[Alex Ritter, PhD @AlexRitterPhD]

Small but mighty! This is a video of a killer T cell of the immune system destroying a monstrous ovarian cancer cell. I recently captured this data on a spinning disc confocal microscope.

Fake it till you make it, #biology edition. #microscopy #cells

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Absolutely spectacular video showing how mRNA Covid vaccines actually work.

The human immune system - and the science which went into harnessing it through vaccines - is mind blowingly beautiful

Watch. Enjoy. Learn. Vaccinate.

Remind me again why plant and crop science research is a penny to every pound of biomedicine investment. This infographoc emphasises that increased food production saves lives.

Learning biology everyday on Twitter! Muscular hydrostats vs tentacles 🐙 🦑 just goes to show, it’s important to ask questions! #tentacles #cephalopod #biology #anatomy

[Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D @SarahMackAttack]

Thank you for asking!!!!!

The tongue is not a tentacle, but it IS a muscular hydrostat!

Muscular hydrostats include:
Cephalopod arms
Human tongues
Elephant trunks
Whale dicks
Manatee snouts

Very curious to hear from more people in the field about this question. Is there hope for changing the system? Is this a way to start? Would you do it? #AcademicTwitter #PeerReview #Lifescience #Biology #biosciences #preprints

[Tom Ellis @ProfTomEllis]

Has any biosciences academic fully given up on peer-review? I mean vowed to only publish their work as preprints (and maybe not even to review for journals). It would be bold step, and I’d be interested to know how it’s working out for them.

[Jake Wintermute 🧬/acc @SynBio1]

It's a natural fact

[Steffanie Strathdee, PhD 🗡️ 🦠Superbug Slayer🗡️ @chngin_the_wrld]

Similarly, #HIV research has led to advances in many other diseases, as is now the case with #COVID19. When you invest in #science, everybody wins.

[Biotechase @biotechase]

Curious about what drives new #lifescience and #biotech #innovations and the emergence of young companies? This article by @sohailajay @Catalyze_biomed talks about the factors affecting #funding for #newbusiness in the life sciences landscape. #bioentrepreneurship #venturecapital

[Catalyze Group @Catalyze_Group]

consultant Soheila Jalali asks, 'What is the relationship between the availability of funding and the emergence of young life-science and biotech companies?' Read her article here: https://t.co/YyAAXE1HVT (2/2)

If you believe that everyone who spots errors in #scientific papers is a hero (eg. @MicrobiomDigest) and should not be harassed by people whose mistakes they have pointed out, then sign this #petition! #academicintegrity #publicationethics #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

[Lonni Besançon 🇫🇷 🇸🇪 @lonnibesancon]

If you are not a scientist but want to show that you disapprove of such actions, you can sign the petition from @Citizen4Sci which is for all citizens to sign. It needs your attention!

Great to have new perspectives on an *old* paper. #ageing #ageingscience #ageingresearch

Move Beyond the Hallmarks, Urges New Paper | https://t.co/0P046MVUQO https://t.co/wd20UM2Ib5

[Biotechase @biotechase]

This may have even bigger implications that #covidvaccines because #malaria is a #pandemic plaguing us for decades! #MalariaVaccine #biotech #lifescience #innovation

[Dr Adam Rutherford @AdamRutherford]

Astonishing. In any normal time, this would be the biggest news on the planet. Malaria has killed more people in history than any other single cause.

[João Pedro de Magalhães @jpsenescence]

Another fascinating example of how some complex vertebrate species, like some fishes, appear not to age at all. Aging is neither inevitable nor universal. Natural selection is able to eliminate aging, and so will we one day using technology.

What if we could grow everything? Biology can.

Protein bundles called nucleosomes are placed at precise positions along DNA to regulate gene expression, adding more specificity to the process than previously known https://t.co/7Gkm5wUDyx

#Tardigrades are cool. #BafflingBio

[Rosie @Rosie_H_Taylor]

A marine tardigrade (Actinarctus doryphorus ocellatus) also known as a water bear/moss piglet.

Andreas Schmidt-Rhaesa, Corinna Schulze and Ricardo Neves used a confocal laser scanning microscope. The scans are each assigned a different colour and then stacked.

[Biotechase @biotechase]

Fascinating new research that links the #microbiome to #cancer. Describes implications for #diagnosis, #prognosis and more. #gutmicrobio #microbiology #cancerbio #biology ⁦@ScienceMagazine https://t.co/FORqiy31d8

[Biotechase @biotechase]

Always interesting to see new findings on #evolution and related mechanisms. Long term studies in #yeast and #ecoli are uncovering new insights. Declining adaptability is an intriguing concept. There seems to be a lot more to uncover and relate back to our own story. #biology

[eLife - the journal @eLife]

The longest evolution experiment in yeast is still going strong! It confirms findings from the famous long-term evolution experiment in E. coli and identifies interesting differences. Retweet if your network should learn about this window into evolution https://t.co/g2usACK9va

[Biotechase @biotechase]

This is what we need! Thank you. @sohailajay made a video of a paper once just to try to explain the actual #experimentalsetup and even though she worked directly with the #PI, it took several conversations to really know what was done in the #lab. #reproducibilitycrisis
