The wonderful women of @OCDEM Happy international day of women and girls in science!

Very grateful to the present and past superstars in my lab who make everything turn! You know who you are! #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience

These are the people that make the diabetes research roll on #WorldDiabetesDay! @OCDEM @RDMOxford

We got an exciting list of speakers for this year's RDM Career's Day. Check out the programme in the link below. Registration is also now open! @RDMOxford rdm.ox.ac.uk/intranet/caree…

Ready for a summer pub quiz? The RDM RA is co-hosting a pub quiz event with the WIMM Postdocs assoc @ the @MRC_WIMM on the evening of June28th. Sign up with the link below to register. Details to come soon! See you there! @RDMOxford forms.office.com/e/9T2Ajw777C

First proper lab social in 2.5 years! Ghetto golf, currywurst and good times. Plus I scored a couple of eagles to end on -1, so pretty happy with that @OCDEM @IMSR_UoB

The 1st invited review of the Physiology of Obesity M2M special issue @joedwardlewis @JPhysiol 'Vitamin D binding protein/GC‐globulin: A novel regulator of alpha cell function and glucagon secretion' by @kitkat_time @MartinHewison and @daveyboyhod 🎉🎉 bit.ly/3cv19Lg

Today is International Women's Day. However, every day, I am reminded how lucky I am to work with these absolute research superstars @DNikarus @jotueliaaeste @kitkat_time @FedeCuozzo Annie @IMSR_UoB #IWD2021 #UoBwomen.

The Islet biology lab @daveyboyhod studies how vitamin D binding protein (DBP) influences alpha cell function. High resolution imaging reveals changes in the actin cytoskeleton of islets wild type (left half) or deleted (right half) for DBP. Photo by @kitkat_time.

Join us for the next in our 'Physiology of #Obesity' series on 11 August 14:00 - 15:00 BST. @emilymiedz and @kitkat_time will be discussing 'Hormonal Regulation of Gut and Pancreas Physiology'. Organised by @Peter_Aldiss & @joedwardlewis. Register here: buff.ly/33x1ytM

Just one more week to the vitamin D event of the year. Join us online on Thursday 9th July at 18.00 GMT to hear more about vitamin D and Covid-19 @IMSR_UoB @Vit_D_Workshop @VitaminDCouncil #vitaminD

IMSR ONLINE SEMINAR: Join us tomorrow at 13:00 for a talk on PHD3 maintains β-cell #glucose #metabolism during fatty acid excess by @FedeCuozzo! For Zoom details, follow the link tinyurl.com/y94q8sot. @daveyboyhod @UoBMDSPostGrad @unibirm_MDS

Our latest study showing that Vitamin D-binding protein regulates alpha cell function @MartinHewison. A remarkable amount of work by @kitkat_time, which would not have been possible without @ngmorgan1 @SarahIBEx @LinfordBriant and @bcellorg. cell.com/cell-reports/f….

Our latest study, using imaging and stable isotope tracing, shows that PHD3 is essential for maintaining glucose metabolism in pancreatic beta cells during metabolic stress. A great effort by @DNikarus @FedeCuozzo and a fun collaboration with @tennantlab! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

After much work our #COVID19 testing lab at @unibirmingham has started. In the photo you can see some of the team who has made it all possible. We’ll be helping @uhbtrust @BWC_NHS and @OFFICIALWMAS test their staff and get them back to work - aiming to deliver up to 10k tests/day

We are proud to launch #WeAreIMSR to introduce you to our brilliant & diverse community of researchers, students & staff. From tomorrow short videos will explore how we are adapting work & directly contributing to battling #Covid19. Help us share these stories & #SupportResearch!

Our #HodSquad lab website has now gone live isletbiologylab.com! Lots of pics and project details available there. Big shout out to all the lab for helping, and to @FedeCuozzo for her artistic genius! @DNikarus @jotueliaaeste @kitkat_time @nicholas_fine @FionaAshford1 !

Pleased to preprint our recent studies on Vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) and maintenance of alpha cell function together with @kitkat_time and @MartinHewison. A true multicollaborative effort involving @bcellorg @ibex @LinfordBriant. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@IMSR_UoB Christmas party. #HodSquad primed and ready @DNikarus @jotueliaaeste @FionaAshford1 @FedeCuozzo! Just missing @kitkat_time who is back in Alaska via Jamaica!

Lots of islet biology interest at @Soc_Endo conference #hodsquad #SfEBES2019
