A very warm 👋welcome👋 to new @unibas.ch PhD student Victoria who joined our team earlier this month! Victoria carried out a 6mo. internship with us last year during her MSc @unistra.fr & will continue her work on developing #GlycoTime anti-virulence therapies thanks to 💰 support @snsf-ch.bsky.social

Photo of Victoria seated on the side of boat, with calm water and a beautiful sunset in the background. She is smiling at the camera, appearing relaxed and holding up a glass of white wine.

Exactly along the lines of what I was thinking ... women expected to be using their time to spell STEM for a photo, while men get to use that time to write papers, advance their research, etc.

I'm sure it was well intentioned, but in practice has the opposite effect 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is happening at the University of Glasgow today, women in STEM have been asked to get together to write the word STEM so a drone can take a picture. In my opinion, this act will do nothing for the advancement of women in STEM. It is nice, it will be a good picture. #WomenInSTEM

This is a screenshot of an instagram post asking women in stem at the University of Glasgow to come and pose for a picture.

🌟 Big welcome to our new team member, Arnaud! 🌟

We're thrilled to have Arnaud join our team @unibas.ch for his MSc Pharmacy project, where he will be 🔍 investigating the role of some new glycan structures in regulating bacterial virulence 🦠🧪 #GlycoTime #DrugDevelopment

Proud of @faezehjame.bsky.social and our latest paper on upregulation by #miRNA. miRNA upregulate protein expression of CD98hc, ST3GAL1 and ST3GAL2 in a coordinated manner. Regulation is bidirectional, changing the picture on how these #RNA work. #glycotime

Screening the human miRNA interactome reveals coordinated up-regulation in melanoma, adding bidirectional regulation to miRNA networks

Analysis of ST3GAL1/2 and CD98hc regulation by miRNA reveals co–up-regulation, adding a bidirectional twist to miRNA networks.

Using humour to address a difficult subject, Kannon is so engaging and effective at bringing awareness to representation in science and the language we choose to discuss our results.

Plus ... FROGS!!! 🐸😍🐸😍🐸

Periodic table colored by lickability. 😛

The periodic table color-coded by liability. Most of the elements are green, which means they can be licked. All of the elements along the bottom row, as well as a few other elements are purple, which means you should not lick them. Most of the elements in group one two and 17 are not lickable
