Mirkka Sarparanta

At the end of this week, I will be migrating myself and the group over to Bluesky, come find us at @msarparanta.bsky.social and @radiopharmchemuh.bsky.social. 🌤️

@TimWitney I have been thinking of doing the same!!!

Twitter used to be the best place to discover new and exciting science. To have a paper distilled into a few key tweets by the author, and to interact with them. Now it’s dead. Nothing is seen and the discourse has gone. A big shame. Find me on LinkedIn under the same name. ✌🏻

Support women in Molecular Imaging through @WIMIN_WMIS at the upcoming @WMISWMIC meeting in Montréal by donating auction items! Proceeds go towards travel and career awards to women scholars as well as special events in upcoming meetings.

If you are at @SocRadiophSci #CAFACHEM 2024 right now, say hi to our @KumpulaScience @Radiochem_Unit @TRIM_Helsinki very own @AnisaBiti and Jan Brokemper, both giving their presentations today! ✨

Join us at iSRS 2025 in the beautiful Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, from May 11-15! Connect with leading experts and pioneers in the field. We’re offering travel awards for students to support the next generation of scientists. srsweb.org/isrs2025-dates

@TimWitney I’m unsure of this message. It wasn’t lack of motivation and laziness that resulted in the rejection, right? But constant rejection will dampen the motivation and effectively output (which could be seen as laziness) as outdoing yourself is not really likely to result in success.

An alternative view on rejection (my current past-time): provides motivation and prevents laziness creeping in.

@ECharlesPratt @LewisLabMSKCC @SNM_MI Congrats, so well deserved!!!

Hi all! Honored to receive the K99R00 award from the NIH NCI and mentorship from @LewisLabMSKCC . Looking forward to define new PET tracers and targeted alpha therapy for senescence in pancreatic cancer. Chat me up @SNM_MI's 2024 annual meeting to learn more!

⭐ My lab is hiring a #postdoc! If you passionate about developing imaging technologies and theranostic agents to improve the detection, evaluation, and treatment of cancer, consider applying 🧫🧪☢️💡 More info/apply: tiny.cc/0vyayz Please RT #molecularimaging

@PaananenJenny Tsemppiä! Tuo Hartsan käpertyminen on kyllä MM-tason suoritus.

So super proud for my friend and our @KumpulaScience #HelsinkiChemistry @Radiochem_Unit alumna @KeinanenOuti who is in the @cenmag 2024 class of Talented Twelve! cen.acs.org/articles/102/i…

@Scott_LabUM @TheMartinsLab In Finland the German grocery chain Lidl is the only place to get these. They obviously pale in comparison to the one I had in Porto.

@TheMartinsLab @ESMI_society @CoE_iFIT My mom and dad were raving last week about how good Portuguese custard pies are... apparently they've even made it to NE England!

Simple things in life. 👌❤️ @ESMI_society @CoE_iFIT #beingportuguese #mycustard_pie_is_better_then_yours

@HollandLab_ @perle_hermant @ERC_Research @UZH_Science @UZH_Chemistry Sorry to miss it! Fortunately I think the posters are also online.

Our joint PhD student Perle @perle_hermant will be presenting here poster in some minutes. Check it out! J @ERC_Research @UZH_Science @UZH_Chemistry
