@elizhargrave Nice idea and I've filled it in but I'm worried that the results might promote a dangerous causal link between board games and society. e.g. "Before playing Pandemic, did you (a) wash your hands regularly (b) not give it much thought (c) spit in the eyes of anyone who came near?

@amandabamford @GilesNJohnson1 @Aristolochia and if you starting a collection then Arboretum is a good card based game.

@amandabamford @GilesNJohnson1 @Aristolochia I have Oceans, which is a beautiful aquatic themed version of the Evolution games with some fun interactions. Can also recommend Mariposas, Wingspan though don't own these. Ecosystem also good and quick to play.

Let’s talk about proteins whose abundance is generally independent from the abundance of the transcripts that templates them.

Give examples.

@Damientg @Derbyshirecc @EddieBisk @BBCSheffield @BBCDerby @newsinglossop @Buxton_News @RuthGeorge6 Over 50% of the female cyclists who recorded a ride up Snake Pass from Glossop so far in 2022 did so on just one day (6th March). That weekend accounted for 2/3rds of all records.

@DeborahLakeland @alumniUoM @EGS_UoM @NHSgms @genomicsedu Thanks Deborah it was great to hear you. I was only sad we didn't get to see your badge!
I met some of the students yesterday on-campus and it was great to feel the buzz - they are all super excited about the course.

Got to speak to MSc #Genomic #Medicine students at their virtual induction today, sharing my learning experience & where I am now #inspiring @alumniUoM @ginReaper @EGS_UoM @NHSgms @genomicsedu

[Araceli Garcia Mora @agarciamora1]

Have you ever wondered how cells can look so different if they have the exact same DNA? Why can a bone cell calcify, a retina cell detect light or a muscle cell contract? This is because although they all have the same genes, not all genes are expressed in all cell-types.

Hi! My name is Araceli Garcia Mora from the @UoM_MRC_DTP and I'm taking part in the #UoMMRCScienceShow!🧬
I'll be sharing a thread about how Transcription factor's bind to tissue-specific enhancers during human embryonic development
Check out @madeleinehurry after!

@BrancoLab Name and shame. That is not a valid reason for "published" data.

[Gene Regulation @generegulation]

EGA has no clear rules for data access (unlike GEO):
➡️ EGA delegates decisions to authors of the dataset (called Data Access Committee, DAC)
➡️ EGA does not specify time for consideration of access requests and grounds for rejecting access
➡️ Some DACs use this to delay peers

Just caught replay of account of Act Up campaign to fight Aids epidemic indifference in U.S. in 1980s. Poignant to hear voices of people who suffered when I was a child. Those who survived overcame and are an inspiration. https://t.co/QeN3eXvSwC

@Amanda_Vickery Weirdly, a large and heavy crane bolted to the floor of my upstairs bedroom. My parents bought and converted an old village co-op shop.
I still use Swarfega.
