Issue 31 is all about science in the 22nd century! Giving an insight into how science may transform in the coming decades. Pick up one of our issues coming soon to find out more! . . #science #sciencecommunication #sciencewriting

Science Writers your time is now! ⏰ ✏️Sign ups for Issue 32 articles are now open. We're looking for work on outreach, inclusion, science in society and the rise of the citizen scientist. Check out the link in our bio for full info and get your name down soon to not miss out!

@DRogkoti @AtelerixLtd Thank you Dora! Same to you:)

@J_Milvid @AtelerixLtd Your images are great!!

1. Engineering encapsulation materials to preserve biopsy material #lifETIMETC23 Despite decades of research, pancreatic cancer survival is still extremely low. We can use biopsies to establish patient-derived models & find the most promising drug treatment for the individual.

3. Alginate, a seaweed-derived bioinert hydrogel, can be used for short-term ambient storage of cells and tissues. In my PhD, I study whether it works for pancreatic cancer samples and what mechanical properties of alginate are best for this shipping.#lifetimeTC2023 @AtelerixLtd

2. When a biopsy is taken, it needs to be frozen to very low temperatures for the transport from the clinic to the lab. Shipping biopsies at ambient temperatures would make their sharing less costly, less complicated and not limited by distance. #lifETIMETC2023

Science is hard. Good research makes you feel stupid. You're inadequate for the task at hand. How else would it be? You're pushing the boundaries of knowledge. Get used to it. This process is immensely rewarding.

That’s another great @CDTLifETIME retreat to the Burn - our student excelled themselves in RRI, public engagement, managing relationships and entrepreneurial training #thebestCDTstudents

Enjoying the first day of @TheBurnScotland retreat with @CDTLifETIME. Had a great first training session with @JamieBGall learning about presentation impact.

Thanks to all that took part @CDTLifETIME. You are all amazing. Thanks for all your input. And we even got the lesser-spotted Alister Minty on camera!

@AnhHLe2702 @institut_curie I learned I have many questions! Wondering how PDAC spheroids might be responding to confinement in a 3D non-adherent matrix, instead of quieting down, maybe switching to integrating info from nucleus shape, cytoskeletal and cell-cell junction tension and so continuing division..

@J_Milvid @institut_curie Did you learn anything cool to share with us? :D

"Say Stiffness!📸🧀" It's been such a wonderful week in Paris participating in the Cell and Tissue Mechanics course at the @institut_curie - with an amazing and inspiring group of researchers as well as PhD students. ☀️ And now, onto cytoskeleton...

Every scientist 👩🏻‍🔬👨🏻‍🔬 is an artist 👩🏻‍🎨 👨🏻‍🎨 Reply to this tweet with a photo of your western blot masterpiece

Very very excited - can't wait to head to Paris in a couple weeks and meet the European mechanobiologists >:)

A short video about the day in the life of a PhD student (me!) testing #alginate gels for potential storage of cancer tissues and samples. From Research Together - patient involvement and engagement event @CDTLifETIME @CdtStudents @UofGlasgow youtu.be/h3TXvsFqLPU

After all these essays in Master's about the drawbacks of using 2D cell culture models, I realize the worst part of it really is when the glass coverslip breaks at the very. very. end. of the staining. Monolayer, our dance continues. Turns out I've been spoiled by spheroids !?

Congrats to Vassilis @vassilis_p and James @realjamesdrew and the rest of our team on their new paper in @J_Cell_Sci !! journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/13…

We were delighted to host Research Together: Patients Guiding the Future of Science @UofG yesterday. Thank you to all patients, public, industry and charity partners, students and academics for engaging and participating #engagement #Inclusion #research #science #future

We’re excited to be holding our event today: Research Together: Patients Guiding the Future of Science at @UofGlasgow @DalbyMatthew will now provide the audience with an overview of @CDTLifETIME
