Excited to be at the @events.embl.org #EEEImaging conference in Heidelberg, Germany, hearing the latest in cutting edge imaging of biological systems. The ATC (G) building is modelled on the double DNA helix, the bridges represent the H bonds b/n nucleotides #scienceyeah #microscopyiscool

Who remembers these note books? Once a common sight in labs for recording keeping. Was cleaning out my office for a move into a new role and found a set of books from a past grad student, love the fact there is raw data, protocols, even mouse cards all in one place #scienceyeah

A smorgasbord of immunity seminars this week. Today, we are excited to hear from Prof Kate Schroder, and her uncomfortable truth that the adaptive immune system is important, how inflammasomes can promote effective adaptive immune responses #immunityiscool #inflammasomesarereallycool #scienceyeah
