Had a great time running and walking around @sangerinstitute with some fab colleagues for #WorldMalariaDay!

If you could go back in time and give your younger self a message, what would you say?

To celebrate #February11 and International Day of #WomenAndGirlsInSTEM, get inspired by six women advancing genomics around the world:

Pretty neat way to start the day at @sangerinstitute!

Over the course of a year, on average this lab will churn out the equivalent of a full human genome every few minutes!

Compare that to the 10+ years it took to put together the first human genome.

If you can't share a video of a water shrew every now & again, what is Twitter for?

Happy New Year 🎆

If your resolution is to make an impact by communicating #genomics and #PublicHealth, why not apply to be the GSU Communications Officer at @sangerinstitute?

With winter break fast approaching, we're reflecting on another joyful year of the npjs ❤️

Here's to more incredible science in 2023 🚀

Is that @Cmdr_Hadfield next to John Herdman during the anthem before @CanadaSoccerEN kicks off at the World Cup!?

I’d recognize that ‘stache anywhere. 🚀 ⚽️

[MalariaGEN @malariagenomics]

Wouldn't it be amazing if...

There was a way to quickly identify which drugs would work on the #malaria parasites in a blood spot sample?

This is possible through what's called "amplicon sequencing."

Here's how it works...

Did you know that the Victorian’s had #fern fever? 🌿

This fashionable hobby (coined Pteridomania) even dwindled native populations.

In any case, here is an exceedingly large collection of #ferns we found this weekend @BrodsworthHall.

Excited for the week ahead 😄

@JamieBGall Interestingly, this basically happened in Canada in the 90s! The Bloc Québécois was the official opposition for 3 years. https://t.co/AngpCeOudE

Why are sloths wearing backpacks? 🎒

This article on the Sloth Conservation Foundation comes heavily recommended from our in-house Editor (& part time sloth puppet), Dr. Slomann.

Q: What’s the best way to annoy an entomologist on #WorldMosquitoDay?

A: Post a picture of the wrong mosquito when you’re talking about malaria.

There are 1000s of species of mosquitoes, but only those in the genus Anopheles are malaria vectors.

Can you spot the Anopheles?

[ScienceUpFirst | LaScienced'Abord @ScienceUpFirst]

Did you notice?
Mask, test, and vaccine mandates in most settings have lifted and guidance has shifted from “you must do this to protect others” to “do your own risk assessment.”
