Our @RSBWestMids AGM is next week: https://t.co/BXOWRCBE4Q Looking forward to seeing members from the W Midlands @AstonUniversity on the 21 Nov. Several committee roles up for grabs. A chance to help create the biology events you want.
Hey Everyone! Almost Real a speculative biology zine Vol. 2 Flight, is now LIVE on Kickstarter!
My contribution is a collab with @lupusdraconis, we came up with the K'u'uk'umkaans, or Feather-Serpents!
Hope you can check it out after the jump! https://t.co/pgTIIr35Zi

I'm very excited to announce that I now have 2 NIH-funded #postdoc positions available. Looking for a recent PhD graduate with experience in #NMR and #cryoEM to join our wonderful #structuralbiology community @uconnhealth.
Contact me directly.

#inktoberday30 - Jolt
The M13 bacteriophage is piezoelectric (applying pressure to it causes it to generate electricity). 6 yrs ago, Scientists genetically modified M13 to generate enough electricity to power an LCD display: https://t.co/zbS0d7LaqI

#INKTOBERDAY25 - Prickly
#Viruses can look like they're prickly because of their coat proteins. Most viruses have coat proteins, which form a #capsid that protects their #genome and/or bind to host cells during infection.

#inktoberday24 - Chop
#Bluetongue #virus causes a disease in #sheep, which gives them swollen blue tongues. I'm not making that up! It can also cause abortions and has a high fatality rate in lambs. Less lamb chops - sad times.

Modern #microbiology is helping historians answer an age-old question - how did Hannibal cross the Alps with an army of elephants?

My pin-up for the launch of ASTROBIOLOGY’s #kickstarter from @SethJacob , @TCannonComics and myself https://t.co/onOsh2WIPF Go check it out! go back it, because its good scifi! #comics #scifi #conceptart #digitalart #pinup #worms
#inktoberday20 - Breakable
In 17th century Netherlands, a #virus caused crazy speculation in the sale of stripey tulip bulbs, as the stripes weren't always stable. They didn't know that Tulip breaking virus #infection is what makes #tulips stripey.

#inktoberday18 - Bottle
Acidianus bottle-shaped #virus 1 is (unsurprisingly) bottle shaped! It infects #archaea & was found in an acidic hot spring. Its genome encodes 57 potential proteins, only 3 of which are similar to known proteins.

#inktoberday15 – Weak
In ~1% of #Poliovirus infections, the #virus causes muscle weakness and paralysis. Since the widespread chlorination of drinking water, the age of exposure to Poliovirus has increased, increasing the risk of paralysis.
#inktober2018 #microbiology #sciart
#inktoberday14 - Clock
Many physiological processes are affected by our body clocks, or circadian rhythms, including immunity. Some #viruses are able to detect or alter these rhythms to initiate infection at times of lowered immunity.

#inktoberday12 – Whale
Pithovirus sibericum is a whale of a #virus at 1.5um long – it’s bigger than some bacteria and can be seen under a light microscope! It was found intact within a 30k yr old Siberian ice core and can still infect amoebas.
