🧬 Does anyone know if the new amplifier sequences for HCR™ Gold RNA-FISH are available anywhere? Trying to track them down to plug into the code I have to generate probes in place of the old B1/B2... sequences.

🎤 Pleased to confirm our second speaker for GMW2025: @cjcoates.bsky.social, who will join us from University of Galway, Ireland with a talk titled:

⭐ Interrogating Galleria mellonella larvae as an aspirant toxicology model

We are pleased to announce that the Galleria Mellonella Workshop will be running again this year.

The event will take place on Monday the 15th of September at Edge Hill University in Ormskirk, UK and will be hosted by @rachelhclare.bsky.social

🐛 Please join us! 🐛

URGENT: FlyBase has lost practically all its funding overnight; even user fees are tied up in denied grant funding. 🤬🤯

Any lab using @flybase.bsky.social please donate using the link in post below.

This incredible community, on whose backs our #Drosophila labs depend, can't be left out to dry.

🧪🍻 From pests to pioneers — and pint glasses!

I had a great time talking about Galleria mellonella at Pint of Science, Exeter last night.

Turns out, The Very Hungry Caterpillar saw it coming… 🐛✨
#PintOfScience #Pint25 #NC3Rs #GalleriaMellonella #ScienceInThePub

En route with some VIPs to #PintOfScience

I’ll be talking about how Galleria mellonella can be a powerful alternative to mice in infection and immunity research at Pint of Science in Exeter at 7.30pm on the 20th of May.

Excited to see this UAS based enhancer trap working in Galleria embryos!

Trying out a new way of embryo mounting for transgenic injections today! 🐛🔬

When you go in hard on your first day using alphafold 😂

New pre print! We establish an ex vivo blood vessel model to investigate the effect of infection on vascular physiology in real time. We show Klebsiella inhibits vasodilation in a T6SS-dependent manner by targeting eNOs. Superb work by @safimicro.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

On my way back from a fantastic visit to Belfast to set up a Galleria colony at QUB!

ECR fellowship for 2 years abroad. Excellent funding & offers the chance to build your own research direction.

📣 I have a non-model #Drosophila system ripe for collaboration - it's got a balancer chromosome, so GAL4/UAS becomes feasible. #EvolBio questions with functional genetics! Happy to chat.

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more
