Worth bearing in mind, this is what the BBC said to me in 2020 when Andrew Neil was being a shouty, right-wing pile on orchestrator on Twitter. Compare and contrast.

A threat to all scientists in Germany, particularly to postdocs: On 17 March the German Ministry of Science released a paper on the planned amendment of the German Act on Temporary Scientific Contracts. Contracts for postdocs shall be limited to 3 years - then you are out!.....

Back to the flow assays for this #fluorescentfriday

Our lab EMBL Barcelona is looking for 2 new PhD students to join HaaseLab if you like tissue engineering and are interested in vascular biology apply now 👉 embl.org/about/info/emb…. Only 1 week left.

Easter egg looking nuclei in these endothelial cells for this #fluorescentfriday 🟨 - VE-cadherin ⬜️ - Actin 🟦 - DAPI (DNA staining)

One for #ScienceTwitter Took this pic at the start of the month (Swedish Spring took its time this year…) beautiful neuron looking patterns in the ice. Anyone know why/how these form?

So, in our recent editorial, Ondine Cleaver, Victoria Prince, and I pointed out the obvious: WE are the ones letting peer review destroy the future of academic biology. So, what can we do differently? Here's one idea in a very short 🧵 1/6 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

GRC power hour! #GRCBiomechanics Aarren Mannion Yasmine Guendouz, PhD Ashley Scott @renita_horton Yun Fang Hannah Song

Enjoying the last lunch at the #2023GRCbiomechanics and making the most of every moment for networking! Aarren Mannion & Dunja AI-Nuaimi 🍔🥗 #GRCbiomechanics GRCBiomechanics

Incredible experience at my first Gordon in 🇺🇸 GRCBiomechanics Top quality science, genuinely lovely people and even learnt some new dissection techniques 🦞 Very grateful to The Company of Biologists DMM Journal for the travel grant and even managed to bag a poster award too!

Come work with us! Our newly funded project, studying talin mechanical memory in heart disease. Join our British Heart Foundation funded team with me, @iskratsch (Queen Mary University of London) and Sanjay Sinha (Cambridge University). The University of Kent 3yr PDRA position is here. Please RT. jobs.kent.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?r…

My first review! I really enjoyed writing this and had an excellent experience with the editorial staff DMM Journal Hopefully it proves interesting and useful to someone 😊 journals.biologists.com/dmm/article/16… #Endothelial #vascular #mechanobiology

Also…🚨New job announcement!🚨 Super excited to have moved to the Wickstrom-Lab and looking forward to getting stuck in! 😁 We’ll ignore the fact that I tried to show up for my first day on a national holiday in Germany 😂 a picture of me - a mug.

For your #WeekendRead check out this new review from Aarren Mannion & @LarsMHolmgren on the emerging role of the #nucleus in how mechanical forces are sensed and transduced in the #aortic #endothelium 📰journals.biologists.com/dmm/article/16… #OpenAccess Karolinska Institutet

For those interested, we've published a review on #epigenetics in regulating #angiogenesis in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) 🔬🧬 give it a read if you're interested in #lncRNAs and fibroblast-EC transdifferentiation! journal.houstonmethodist.org/articles/10.14…

Mannion and colleagues report in elegant new study published in ATVB a role for AmotL2 and nuclear-cytoskeletal force transmission in modulating the epigenetic and transcriptional regulation of YAP - insights into vascular homeostasis

🥳

Dr. @LarsMHolmgren and colleagues including Dr. Aarren Mannion reveal that mechanical forces sensed at cell-cell junctions by AmotL2 are directly involved in changes in global 🌐 chromatin accessibility and activity of EZH2. ATVB: An AHA Journal | bit.ly/42FUqYx

How do #stemcells integrate information to make fate decisions? Check out our latest preprint where we find that growth factors regulate the mechano-osmotic state of the #nucleus and #chromatin to determine whether to retain or exit #pluripotency🧵👇biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
