This is my favourite of Alastair's adventures. I can take so much inspiration from it for putting myself in uncomfortable situations that I know I will benefit and grow from.

Any recommendations for Spatial Transcriptomics (@10xgenomics.bsky.social Visium HD) training courses later this year?

Single Cell I can do but this stuff is next level tricky! 🤔😬

#TBT 10 years ago today, setting off from Jungfraujoch down the Aletsch Glacier before a swift right hander, up and over the Lötschenlücke and down to Blatten for some Strudel.

As many will know there was a brief outage of PubMed over the weekend…. What if it had been deliberate? The episode has focused attention on scientists’ reliance on the US-government-funded website…

Pubmed down?

In my day we photocopied journal articles in the library... Could this become my most employable #LinkedIn Skill???

I'll be attending #DiabetesUKConference this week. I'm interested in Islet Transplant and Islet multi-omics if anyone would like to talk or has recommendations.

All things #SingleCell have been moving in this direction for some time. Remarkable to see a hint of something tangible.

Gonna need some serious GPU power to crunch these numbers! #AI

Hey #PancSky #BetaCellSky #EndocrineSky what markers are we all using to sort for the component cells of #Islets ???

Thanks in advance.

Testing routes of administration and engraftment for cell therapy on the OrganOx normothermic liver perfusion platform today.

This wouldn't be possible without those who choose to donate their organs for transplantation and research. Thanks.
