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... embopress.org/doi/full/10.15…

@papersofnote Sad it's come to this. I remember the golden ages of papers 365! Maybe it will come back like a phoenix somewhere someday. Hope you are holding up.

I can't justify staying in this space. This account will be deleted within the next ~48 hours as soon as I have a current backup of my tweets for my personal notes. I'd love to see you on 🦋! Or email me your papers! Or see me IRL!

@ArcticSeasonal Excellent! I always thought so... Glad you proved it!

@alexwebblab @ant_dodd @PriyaCrosby I got asked recently whether RBC rhythms would continue in cold storage (ie blood banks). Interesting question.

@alexwebblab @ant_dodd @PriyaCrosby Thanks Alex! Plants really do have some impressive adaptation mechanisms. (which obviously you knew, but I'm stuck in an animal world 😂)

@ant_dodd I hope @Tiago_deAndrade can still see them given the X v Brazil thing...

@ant_dodd Thanks for the kind words Ant!

Enjoyed reading this article about Darwin’s interests in biological rhythms, by Tiago de Andrade and Andrew Beale #chronobiology academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/arti…

#CharlesDarwin tinha um profundo interesse em ritmos biológicos, muito além do que imaginávamos. Junto com @DrBatmo, conto essa história na @PNASNexus #ciências #biologia #cronobiologia #circadian #HistoryOfScience eurekalert.org/news-releases/…

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. science.nasa.gov/earth/watch-ca…

@papersofnote Ohhh, I thought I was just being unlucky in not seeing your tweets! This explains it. Sad times for academic twitter with much nostalgia for the past

I don't log in here more than once every 6 months or so - find me elsewheres on the internets.

If you missed hearing about papers - I got you! July special edition #papers365 on Bsky! Username is annikabarber.

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! nature.com/articles/d4158…

@Filipa_Ferr @HeleneBorrmann @KafsackLab @PLOSPathogens Nice! It will be a super useful resource for this super interesting topic

And our first ever lab manuscript is published!! 🥳💪🏽 here our talented postdoc @HeleneBorrmann reflects on how tissue biology changes across the day and its impact on pathogens. Thanks for the opportunity @KafsackLab @PLOSPathogens

@ant_dodd @SRBR_Outreach Problem in JFK? Weather? Who knows

@DrBatmo @SRBR_Outreach Oh no. What is going on with all the flights today??

After a great #SRBR2024, about to board heading to the U.K. It was so motivating- but now to turn that motivation into finishing off all the papers! @SRBR_Outreach

Out today! Circadian rhythms in proteome turnover, especially macromolecular complexes, which allow proteome renewal even under cellular proteostasis, osmostasis, and energy homeostasis constraints: embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

@ursula17LOWE Hope you enjoyed your evening!
