As a #scicommer, I often feel like we are talking in an echo chamber. 🎙️🔁 Preaching to the converted. Recycling the same ways of sharing science. 🧪 The main reason the reach is low isn’t a lack of information; it’s a lack of understanding of the scientific process itself! 🔍 1/5
It is a pleasure to be at #AALAS2025, my first time ever!
I am presenting our work in #patientengagement and #openness in #animalresearch in Europe and globally.
Very excited to have our workshop with Foundation for Biomedical Research tomorrow. Come over to room Promenade 203B (Wed 12) 1 pm PST.

I’m so proud how well our first conference #EARA2025 is going. Out of the box discussions, amazing varied perspectives from different fields of communicating #AnimalResearch.
Over halfway of the first day and we already gathered so many tips for future guidelines for scicomm.

Great energy inside and outside #mdcBerlin's conference center on #CampusBuch – from engaging panels and flash talks to exhibition and lunch break moments. 👇👇 #EARA2025

This research was fascinating to read and shows how models can and should evolve 🧠🐒
Researchers from Tabula Microcebus Consortium have mapped nearly 780,000 brain cells of the mouse lemur 🐒, uncovering unique primate cell types and highlighting its potential as a model for brain evolution and disease.

A great counterpoint thread by Roman on the flawed arguments for ending animal testing in biomedical research.
This very dangerous and life-threatening move from the US for future treatments.

This opinion piece @statnews.com hailing the new FDA approach to animal testing (and by extension the Trump Administration) is a real impertinence.

The end to animal testing marks the beginning of better biomedicine
No longer will our medicines be gated through animals, but rather through entirely human systems — leading to breakthrough options for the humans that need them.

Hey Siri, what’s the point of racism? *bleep*
A study of ancient DNA from people who lived in Europe between 1700 and 45,000 years ago suggests that 63 per cent of them had dark skin and 8 per cent had pale skin, with the rest somewhere in between.
Most Europeans may have had dark skin until less than 3000 years ago
Ancient DNA from 348 individuals suggests that pale skin became the predominant characteristic of people living in Europe much later than assumed
