On #WorldTelecommunicationDay, imagine a data packet stuck ‘ON’ 📞.

In Neurofibromatosis, the genetic “network admin” goes missing, leaving the Ras protein screaming “GROW!” indefinitely.

This #NFAwareness Month, help us find the “off” button for the call that never ends. 🎗️💙

Four bases. Two strands. One helix. Billions of years of evolution coiled into a double helix. We put one inside our new site. Find it. Win it. 🐍

¡FELIZ CINCO DE MAYO! 🇲🇽🌮🧬🎉💃

#cincodemayo

[Doppeldata - Adelaide Bioinformatics @doppeldata]

Happy DNA Day!

#Watson & #Crick published the 900-word paper, but #RosalindFranklin took the X-ray that proved the double helix existed. On National #DNADay, we remember her name. 🧬
We share 99.9% of our #DNA. That remaining 0.1%? That’s your story.

Read yours.

Bicycle Day is April 19 - the day in 1943 when Albert Hofmann deliberately dosed himself with LSD & had his lab assistant cycle him home through Basel because wartime restrictions had banned cars. It’s the most consequential commute in the history of neuroscience.

A toddler was pulled from the Titanic in 1912. No name. Buried as “The Unknown Child.”

His boots were ordered destroyed. One officer kept them in his desk drawer instead.
99 years later, DNA did what history couldn’t.

His name was Sidney Leslie Goodwin. He was 19 months old. 🧬

April 14, 2003: scientists mapped every gene in the human body. A private company tried to sell the data. The public raced them and gave it away free. They expected 100,000 genes. We have 20,000. Happy 23rd, HGP. 🧬 #HumanGenomeProject #OpenScience

Easter Monday, but make it genomic.

Tardigrades survive 30 years completely dead. No heartbeat. Add water, they walk away.

Two genes: CAHS forms protective glass around cells. DSUP armours the DNA.

Scientists just put them in human cells.

Resurrection. Solved 500M years ago.

🎤From comedy to founder.

@pjhelliar speaking at @_southstart - sharing the reality of building @Sprookapp.

A shift from entertainment → tech, and what it actually looks like to create something from the ground up.

We all go through the same thing - no matter who you are.

#Sinners has vampires, 16 #Oscar noms & a record-breaking campaign.

Real talk: #mutations in the FECH #gene cause extreme UV sensitivity & skin pain — and some researchers link porphyria to early #vampire mythology.

#Science is scarier than fiction. 🧬🧛🏻‍♀️

Eight years old today and still entering every room like she owns the genome. Happy birthday Messi. Rescue cat. Tuxedo icon. Genetically incapable of a bad entrance. #HappyBirthday #Messi #TuxedoCat #RescueCat #Cat #Genetics
