The Met Office are letting us submit our own storm name suggestions:

www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-o...

There's space for five names in the submission boxes.

Let's go with:

Exxon Mobil
BP
Shell
Equinor
Chevron

At last, those companies will get the recognition they deserve.

Pls retweet!

So close to the perfect normal distribution graph only sad that it’s data from my solar panels and not my research #geekingitupinthesun

My PhD student isolated some liver endothelial cells and got this brilliant image showing the gradual transition of health EC to full EndMT in a very satisfying circle. #fluorescencefriday #fibrosis

Been having a play with some whole mount adipose tissues stained for various vascular markers by my brilliant BHF Master’s student Rose Wilcox @qmulwhri.bsky.social

Been trying to line up some 3D projections of sequentially imaged liver vasculature for a 6 colour image….So close!

Been wrestling with how to make an image of Full Spectrum Flow Cytometry and in the end decided to just making something that melts eyeballs - enjoy!

Another year done and dusted and the group enjoyed a bit of Christmas cheer include find your favourite organ in the mystery bag tequilla challenge and junior science brainbox. Here’s to more vascular biology and ridiculous pub games in 2025

In the Dufton Group we like nothing more than transforming heart sections into birds. I disguised heart sections as a flamingo, parrot and pigeon while my PhD student produced a Peacock from the different the cardiac vessels. #fluorescencefriday

Want to rename November to Experivember for the Dufton group. The Phd student has labelled 576 tubes and counting. Won’t be short of imaging to do in 2025!

Squint at a western diet fed liver and it almost looks like a satellite image of islands in the sea #fluorescencefriday

Not sure who’s out there but applications are open for a short-term (potential to extend) junior PDRA position in my lab! Work will be on preclinical models of #maternal #inflammation during #pregnancy and impact on the #cardiovascular system. 👇🏽
