Someone give the @pacbio.bsky.social marketing team all the awards! The first image here is the PacBio Vega (yes, on a bench- they can now fit on benchtops!) and the second 2 are PacBio Vega socks. How good are these? Like, the data I just got back is also spectacular, but look at these!!! #pacbio

When your work has a Halloween event with art but you've been staring at UMAPs all day. #bioinformatics

I regularly try to brush up on my #Bioinformatics and Bioinformaticians are genuinely funny people wherever I go! I love this Burrows-Wheeler explanation. I think my brain processes information this way though. It zips stuff. 😄

I told Pico you sneezed as well. 🤣

It happened. The best junk email I have ever received. You bet your ahh I'll work on #malaria transmission at Weyland-Yutani! 😂🤣 @thetoiletduck.bsky.social will you guys join me?

An Amblyptilia (punctidactyla looks like) moth on my calendar tonight! I thought this wee friend should be out "on the wing" in July, with a later brood in September. Are you early or late? The hot weather is confusing me too! #entomology

Thank you so much to @embl.org/ @events.embl.org & the #EMBLmalaria 2025 organisers, Wiebke Nahrendorf, @lilianamancio.bsky.social, @sturalph.bsky.social, & Yaw Aniweh for an amazing conference. Incredible #Plasmodium/#malaria research! I'll be sending emails full of tips/notes to people all week!

Stunning day in #Edinburgh to attend the Tam Dalyell Prize Lecture by Drs Petra Schneider and Aidan O'Donnell of the @reecelab.bsky.social! They have been awarded the prize for their wonderful science communication; travelling around Scotland teaching children about mosquitoes! #scicomm

Honestly, if you do #entomology or #microsurgery, this whetstone and oil from FST was maybe £20 total and I have just sharpened all our insectary forceps in no time! Massively recommend getting something like this!

Has anyone else's Outlook started doing this with the dates? Cause I clearly have nothing else I need to do with my time! 😭#MicrosoftOutlook

To reiterate: here is the link to a free Ludo game that provides info on 4 vector-borne diseases (#malaria, #schistosomiasis, #onchocerciasis, and #CCHF): doi.org/10.5525/gla....
It's in English + 6 Ugandan languages. Print it, play it, use it- & enjoy! @cvrinfo.bsky.social @uofgsii.bsky.social

🚨 "Vector Ludo" is out and FREE! 🚨
This is a printable, free Ludo template in English & 6 Ugandan languages that is basic Ludo, but with extra rules to educate about the vectors of #malaria, #schistosomiasis, #onchocerciasis ("River Blindness"), & #CCHF: doi.org/10.5525/gla....

Got some beautiful pics of 2 native Scottish mosquitoes today on our dissecting scope! Uploaded them to the Mosquito Scotland website! Probably a Culex pipiens species- will send them off to be genotyped. I never get sick of looking at insects. Aren't they gorgeous? #entomology #mosquitoes
