“Dear Colleagues,
vanteeffelenlab.org has openings for PhD students and Postdocs
with backgrounds in physics, engineering, chemistry, or biology who are
interested in developing and applying state-of-the-art microscopy (notably
single-particle tracking and track analysis

<lnkd.in/dysMaH6H>] and simulation-based quantitative phase microscopy [*PNAS* 2021

control their own shapes and sizes.
Microscopy is paired with single-cell perturbations (e.g., in
microfluidics), computational modeling, and approaches from molecular biology. Candidates will work on one of multiple questions at the interface of physics and biology: the regulation of intracellular density and

This is a thread about how anyone can use publicly accessible sequence databases and free software to discover new things about #genomes, #biology, and life on earth.

#Bioinformatics #Genomics #Evolution #Science #MolecularBiology #DNA #Research #DataScience #LifeSciences Image
Genomes are absolutely loaded with complex information, most of which we still don’t understand.

Complete and near complete genome sequences are now available for many organisms.

However, decoding the information in these genomes remains a slow and difficult process. Image
A large proportion of most published genome sequences consist of DNA that is incompletely understood in terms of its evolutionary origins and functional significance. Image

Hablemos de la CONTAMINACIÓN de objetos caseros con el virus de la #ViruelaSímica 🐒

Se encontró material genético del virus en superficies 20 días después de iniciado el confinamiento de 2 pacientes, a pesar de realizar limpieza 

¿Pánico o no?

1/10
Hace unos días la @CDCgov dió a conocer los resultados de un estudio de superficies contaminadas en la casa de dos personas en Utah que, luego de un viaje, dieron positivo para viruela símica¹

La presentación de la enfermedad fue moderada y se resolvió en 30 días o menos

2/10
Para evaluar la presencia del #virus y el grado de contaminación de los objetos, se pidió a los #pacientes que señalaran los objetos y superficies con los que tenían más contacto 🖐🏼🪥

Se tomaron muestras de 30 superficies usando hisopos

Who am I if I’m not a #DevelopmentalBiologist? A (long) thread. Today for #BlackInDevelopmental, I would like to tell you how I got here. I am a #FirstGen college attendee and graduate. I was raised in a single-parent household. We struggled financially when I was growing up. 1/ Image
I know what hunger feels like and have had the lights turned off. I know what it’s like to have holes in the bottom of my shoes from wear. I know what it is to love science. I have been a scientist since childhood. Collecting snails, thinking about how the world works. 2/
In spite of my parents’ inability to help me with schoolwork, I always did really well in school. I actually liked going. Partially for the normalcy it provided, partially for socializing, but mostly because I was curious and I was good at it. 3/

Pra deixar o pessoal de laboratório feliz e as aulas EAD menos complicadas, segue em anexo:

🔬THREAD COM SIMULAÇÕES DE LABORATÓRIO VIRTUAL🔬

#BiomedTwitter #AcademicTwitter #science #biology
Nessa thread você vai encontrar simulações de laboratório de diagnóstico, #microscopy, #immunology, #molecularbiology, #cellbiology e tudo que eu encontrar. Dá uma olhada até o final pra ver se tem alguma simulação que te interessa! Vou atualizando aos poucos! :)
Antes de começar, gostaria de avisar que a maioria (talvez todas) das simulações são em inglês, infelizmente :(

🧬 Minha dica pra quem ainda não tem domínio da língua: ativa a tradução do google translate na página e vê se consegue entender o conteúdo da página. Talvez ajude!

Spectroscopy allows us to spy on molecules invisible to the naked eye. Through a cuvette the spectrophotometer allows us to peer and measure concentrations with the help of Beer! 👉 bit.ly/2N4nzXE

The Beer Lambert law (Beer’s law) allows you to convert between concentration (c) of a dissolved thing (solute) & absorbance of light. Don't have a lot - use a NanoDrop so the UV-Vis fun don't stop! bit.ly/beerslawexplai…

Do you listen to your spectrograph peaks when they try to speak? Or just look at highest 1 & assume purification's done? Peakiest peak *might* tell concentration - but rest can reveal contamination! 👉 bit.ly/2NblGc2

After a jam-packed 2 days at #SciOut18🌪(thx @ASBMB & @rockedu_!) it was time to reflect! 🤔 Reflection is so important, but it can be hard to find ⏰ to really just think! 💭 Some of my thoughts 👉 instagram.com/p/BokNO_NhihF/

What’s inside? 🧐 It’s FORMAMIDE! 🤗 Formally removing RNA’s form with formamide! 🤓 FORMAMIDE in loading buffer breaks up & replaces the bonds between bases holding RNA's shape together 👇

Bring on the heat! 🔥 To help denaturants get to the huddling hydrophobic bases, we add heat ♨️ 👉 gives molecules more energy so they can “pull apart” more easily ⏩ easier access 👍 More 👇
