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...

#CharlesDarwin tinha um profundo interesse em ritmos biológicos, muito além do que imaginávamos. Junto com @DrBatmo, conto essa história na @PNASNexus

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.

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!

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

My new favourite hobby - finding 'floor fossils'. Cambridge Grand Arcade has hundreds of them like this:

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 🧑🔬🕒
Get in touch if you want the low down!
Come join our team? We have a postdoc position open. Deadline 17th March

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:

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:

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.

Ambassadors, get ready as March is always a big moment for you to shine with #NationalCareersWeek and #BritishScienceWeek on the horizon!
Science Week has already published their free activity packs that you can utilise in your volunteering: STEM.org.uk/resources/collec…

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?

A tweet back to circadian biology: John and Andrew @DrBatmo were interviewed on the EMBO podcast about the story behind our recent paper on physiological function of red blood cell rhythms. Link below
In the new #EMBOPodcast, John O'Neill and Andrew Beale of @MRC_LMB talk to us about how a mysterious band on a Western blot led to a fascinating paper on circadian rhythms in red blood cells. embo.org/podcasts/the-band-a…

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.
NEW: Conservatives are safeguarding scientific research from the denial of biology and the steady creep of political correctness.
