Naked mole-rat research World Tour (well, Estonia this week, London next week with Dunja Aksentijevic Ricciarelli !)😃

Went well, much fun!😃

Helping to support female guides on Kilimanjaro exodus.enthuse.com/cf/1006/fundra… "With the help of our Mountain Lioness Scholarship, over the past 3 years we have supported 28 ambitious women to gain their Guide License - a qualification that leads to a life-changing occupation."

Well done Hana

This is a great initiative, Mike would have loved it . Mike Bruford Memorial Conservation Forest (2024) | Regrow Borneo donorbox.org/mike-bruford-m…

Well done Dunja - you broke my rule of not drinking before 8:00 am - unless it's is following the night before!😃 It's been a long mission with this manuscript but worth it in the end!

Daughter in law does amazing Anime style digital art, see below if you want portraits, animals, vectors/images for websites, educational material etc😃

Chuffed to see our Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research funded #BBR project kick off last week - providing #bioinformatics support for #ecologists. If you’re UK based and need support, get in touch! Details 👇 UCL Centre for Biodiversity & Environment Research UCL Biosciences Queen Mary University of London Yannick Wurm 🐜🐝🦋 @[email protected]

LAST CALL 📷 for Naked Mole Rats online drawing class, this coming Thursday 7th March at 7pm GMT for #internationalwomensday with Wild Life Drawing instagram.com/p/C4G05KmI90U/… We will be live streaming with two camera angles and Chris Faulkes and donating to People's Trust for Endangered Species

Fantastic stuff, well done!👏

Hurrah - at last, naked mole-rats strike again! QM_SBBS SBBSGenomics QMUL Sci & Eng News Barts and The London, Queen Mary

One big message is that yet again, NMRs (red) are so different from everyone else, close (other mole-rats) and distant (H. golden mole, mouse). Figure 4B below -LD analysis of the cardiac metabolite data- illustrates this nature.com/articles/s4146…

Naked mole-rats are known for their longevity, but how do they do it? 🤔 A recent Nature Communications study led by Dunja Aksentijevic Ricciarelli & Chris Faulkes (QueenMargaretUni) has discovered how their unique cardiometabolic profile plays a role — learn more at ScienceDaily: buff.ly/3TQHNWB

Excited to share my latest paper: “No evidence for a signal in mammalian basal metabolic rate associated with a fossorial lifestyle” – the COVID chapter from my thesis! 🐀 Out now in Scientific Reports Steve Portugal RHUL Biology #AcademicTwitter nature.com/articles/s4159…

🚨 We're hiring! Join Prof. Rossiter's team as a Postdoc to study viral tolerance in bats. Ideal candidates have a PhD in molecular/evolutionary biology & bioinformatics experience. Closing 4/07. qmul.ac.uk/jobs/vacancies… #PostdocJobs #ResearchOpportunity

Oooh! We Dunja Aksentijevic Ricciarelli et al got included in a Spotlight article in Trends in Molecular Medicine - very chuffed indeed!
