I LOVE to #connect with others, but everyone has a favourite platform & their own preferences when it comes to interacting #online. That's why all @BiologistKate links, including the #blog, are now available in one easy-to-access place! Find me anywhere at linktr.ee/biologistkate

🧵SALT🧵 It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question: Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from? The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised. 1/14

Killer T cells are beautiful! This high resolution/rapid acquisition video of a T cell attacking a lymphoma cancer cell was captured on a specialized Lattice Light Sheet microscope with the help of my wonderful collaborators @HHMIJanelia. See more details in the thread below.

Enjoying this somewhat belatedly, but still, what better choice than an octopus for little old me? #Chocolate #Cephalopods #Easter2022 #Octopus

My favourite books I read this year: 🧵 This is the first full year I’ve used Goodreads so I actually know what I read Of 33 books read, I gave 5 stars to 13 I’ve narrowed it down to five, in no particular order: 1/n goodreads.com/user/year_in_b…

@thisisarijit Glad to hear you are enjoying all of these @thisisarijit! I love #Wordle and play it every day but I never knew about #Worldle #Nerdle or #Quordle until I saw your tweet. Thank you for sharing them here... now I have 3 more fab puzzles to try! ❤

Start of my day - everyday! Wake up 6 AM; between 6:30 to 7:30, #wordle, then #nerdle, then #Worldle and finally #quordle - in that order. Feels very satisfying and energised to start the day. True even if I dont succeed to crack the puzzle(s). Its the effort that feels good.

@CarlBovisNature Ah, on closer inspection, I see birds!

What is this? 🤔

A fantastic opportunity to work at a fantastic university with some equally fantastic (and totally awe-inspiring) science educators! #dreamjob #careers #biomed #teachingjobs #Salford

I can FINALLY share this! Last May, I got to meet Jeff Goldblum and watch him learn about tiny marine organisms from @Woman_Scientist at @Scripps_Ocean for his @natgeo show The World According to Jeff Goldblum. Truly a dream! Check out the episode “Tiny Things” on Disney Plus.
