It's taken a while (around 10 years for some of the data!) but our dive into the physiological function of RBC circadian rhythms is out in @embojournal. The story began with observations of rhythm on a blot of RBCs even when there was no antibody... https://t.co/EdaSWjERbd

Given the population bias to the northern hemisphere but seemingly the vegetation bias to the south, I wonder if we have a seasonal global CO2 rhythm? Though perhaps there are too many factors acting in opposition to see such a rhythm - forest fires, household heating etc

Looking at this and seeing the daily rhythm in atmospheric CO2 which is at least in part due to the rhythms of plants as explained by @NASA. https://t.co/WQBSesz9UM

I'm very privileged to be able to work here at @MRC_LMB. This article notes how the strategy, culture, people, ethos are central to the lab's success - I can fully attest to all this! https://t.co/ITsyNbZ0FY

Out today! Circadian rhythms in proteome turnover, especially macromolecular complexes, which allow proteome renewal even under cellular proteostasis, osmostasis, and energy homeostasis constraints: https://t.co/LxldfhzvR0

Very much enjoyed going into my local primary school for Science Week #BSW24. With the theme of "Time" I just had to get involved! I managed to link the @ScienceWeekUK resources on pendulums to circadian clocks via a demo of coupled metronomes - much fun was had 🧑‍🔬🕒

In #SRBR2024 #Wikithon, we'll be looking at editing chronobiology pages. In this paper, @rona_av @omerbenj examine edits to "Circadian clock" and "Circadian rhythm" and reveal how arguments and paradigm shifts are encoded in the pages' metadata: https://t.co/w6fyB74XXu

Just over 3 months until the #SRBR2024 Trainee Day #Wikithon. In the next few weeks, on Thursdays, we'll be exploring chronobiological precidents on @Wikipedia. Today from the archives - circadian patterns of Wikipedia editing activity: https://t.co/gS3vnFxdtT

Using recent crash-level data, I show that a pedestrian hit by a full-size SUV is twice as likely to die compared to being struck by a car, under similar crash conditions.

Lol. Lol at this whole thread but particularly at this salary bit which threatens basically all scientific research done in this country. Please can you come up with some useful policies?

For fuck's sake, stop stoking a stupid culture war and come up with at least one policy that makes lives better instead - preferably one looking more than 15 mthss ahead. Science is NOT in danger from "woke ideology", which is a bullshit invented culture war concept anyway.
