Most birds use a funny running style: grounded running. It's a paradox: GR costs more energy than normal running, but animals usually minimize costs. Do birds waste energy? We resolve this with a model of the emu (the best bird). 1st PhD chapter, out in @ScienceAdvances 1/17

1/2. The upcoming @bmh2024Melb (22-26 Sept) will be one of the biggest international conferences for basic biomolecular science. With the event's climate change focus, @LIMSLTU has generously sponsored PhD candidate Chris Reimann to represent @latrobe's #sustainable #GreenLabs!

Hello, my absolutely lovely membrane peeps! Would you maybe, pretty-please, let me proudly steer you to a MINI-REVIEW I recently wrote? It’s on asymmetric membranes in general, and differential stress in particular—subjects that I am massively interested in right now! 1/26

Lesley Cheng @limsltu presents to the #EViND symposium @UQ_News “It’s in the blood”! #ExtracellularVesicles #miRNA

Wonderful to see #MISEV2023 is out! This is a consensus paper to which>1000 scientific community members contributed. Even if you don't work in this field, take a look at this great example of guideline development to increase reproducibility & rigor in scientific investigations.

Out flag marshalling in Broadford today. Taking thesis procrastination to strange new levels 😅

@EnnabHanadi For this study we are isolating from serum, I am using the IZON single gen 2 70nm columns with their automated fraction collector.

@Will_PhillipsEV Which technique did you use?! Or is it a commercial kit?!

Over 70 EV isolations in 4 days! I think I'm ready for a sleep 😴😴

@mohammad7moosav @IsevComms Doing that many manually in a week is very impressive! I don't even want to think about how long doing it manually would have taken 😅

@Will_PhillipsEV @IsevComms You deserve a week to sleep 😄✌🏽 I Did almost the same times, but manually 😅🔫 it took me a week to come back to normal life 😂

@JasonSynaptic For running multiple columns in parallel, absolutely. I prefer the automated collection over manual - in my opinion it reduces variability and likelihood of error. The newer versions of the AFC are much better than when they were first released.

@Will_PhillipsEV We use IZON columns but not those fancy machines you have in the pic..are they worth it?

@DimitriAubert2 Thanks Dimitri! Using the qEV single gen 2 70 nm, It was about 9-10 samples every hour. I would spend the morning priming the columns on a rack I 3d printed and aimed for 20 a day.

@Will_PhillipsEV That was an olympic effort Will, kudos! Just been curious, how long did it take overall to isolate the 70 EV samples?

#ISEV2024 MAy 8-12 2024 🦘🪃🐨 NOW OPEN!! Late breaking abstract submissions until Feb 19 Early-bird registrations close Mar 4 #Education Day: talley.eventsair.com/isev2024/educa… Discounted travel & hotels, and VISA information: talley.eventsair.com/isev2024/ @IsevComms

Nothing new here, but scientific publishing needs fixing. We pay "open access charges" or APCs of USD 3-5k (sometimes more) for a publisher to put a PDF on the internet and not charge people to read it. But we also pay up to thousands extra for "color printing". This does not mean physical printing (which might make sense). It's an extra charge to keep your figures in the pdf the way you submitted them. Publishers will actually do extra work to convert color figures to grayscale (thus disrupting the figure/text concordance and the sense of the paper) just to force you to pay these extra charges (or re-graph/re-write in grayscale yourself). This is done by "reputable" publishers but in my view should be classified as a #PredatoryPublishing practice.
