It's taken a while (around 10 years for some of the data!) but our dive into the physiological function of RBC circadian rhythms is out in @embojournal. The story began with observations of rhythm on a blot of RBCs even when there was no antibody...

@papersofnote Sad it's come to this. I remember the golden ages of papers 365! Maybe it will come back like a phoenix somewhere someday. Hope you are holding up.

[Andrew (Batmo) Beale @DrBatmo]

@ArcticSeasonal Excellent! I always thought so... Glad you proved it!

[Andrew (Batmo) Beale @DrBatmo]

@alexwebblab @ant_dodd @PriyaCrosby I got asked recently whether RBC rhythms would continue in cold storage (ie blood banks). Interesting question.

[Andrew (Batmo) Beale @DrBatmo]

@alexwebblab @ant_dodd @PriyaCrosby Thanks Alex! Plants really do have some impressive adaptation mechanisms. (which obviously you knew, but I'm stuck in an animal world 😂)

[Andrew (Batmo) Beale @DrBatmo]

@ant_dodd I hope @Tiago_deAndrade can still see them given the X v Brazil thing...

[Andrew (Batmo) Beale @DrBatmo]

@ant_dodd Thanks for the kind words Ant!

#CharlesDarwin tinha um profundo interesse em ritmos biológicos, muito além do que imaginávamos. Junto com @DrBatmo, conto essa história na @PNASNexus

Given the population bias to the northern hemisphere but seemingly the vegetation bias to the south, I wonder if we have a seasonal global CO2 rhythm? Though perhaps there are too many factors acting in opposition to see such a rhythm - forest fires, household heating etc

[Andrew (Batmo) Beale @DrBatmo]

Looking at this and seeing the daily rhythm in atmospheric CO2 which is at least in part due to the rhythms of plants as explained by @NASA.

@papersofnote Ohhh, I thought I was just being unlucky in not seeing your tweets! This explains it. Sad times for academic twitter with much nostalgia for the past

I'm very privileged to be able to work here at @MRC_LMB. This article notes how the strategy, culture, people, ethos are central to the lab's success - I can fully attest to all this!

@Filipa_Ferr @HeleneBorrmann @KafsackLab @PLOSPathogens Nice! It will be a super useful resource for this super interesting topic

Out today! Circadian rhythms in proteome turnover, especially macromolecular complexes, which allow proteome renewal even under cellular proteostasis, osmostasis, and energy homeostasis constraints:

My new favourite hobby - finding 'floor fossils'. Cambridge Grand Arcade has hundreds of them like this:
