@grayface_ghost One of CS lecturers at #WarwickUni nearly 30 years ago was #trans before we even used the term as we do now.

I'll be writing to them as an alumnus expressing my disappointment:

The edge of a cell: an active mechanosensing membrane

Yean Ming and Rob wrote a review on MT lattice switching. They discuss evidence that protofilament-level structural switching is ancient and fundamental and conserved; and that tubulation creates new allosteric interfaces that operate on essentially the same structural switch.

It was great fun attending #snapshot24 and catching up with @jadga @moenig @SnapCloud and #turtlestitch crew.

I shared From Pattern to Code resources, short videos to give ideas for patterns in @turtlestitch

Some of our early career researchers are presenting their work at the WMS PGR Symposium today in IBRB.

There's talks throughout the day in the "Mechanisms of Human Disease" and “Reproductive Biology" sessions.

Posters are in the atrium and talks are in IBRB lecture theatre, MTC LT or GLT1.

It's that time again:

Tri-Grid Challenge Term 3 2024

Our scientists are in several different teams but we'll be tracking the progress of CMCB Flyers mainly throughout the two weeks of the competitions.

Curiouser and curiouser: regulating the remarkable intracellular dynamics of killer T cells

A.151 at 13:00

After two weeks of hectic competition in the #WarwickUni Tri-Grid Challenge, early indications are that CMCB flyers came 7th with IBR Labrats teams in 8th and 9th place. Jasmine was 3rd overall, and 1st in the Walking competition. Steve was 1st in Running. We await the final count…

We're at the halfway point in the #WarwickUni Tri-grid challenge. CMCB Flyers languish in 9th place while IBR Labrats (teams 1 and 2) are in 6th and 8th place overall respectively. Our old adversaries Running Joke blaze ahead in 4th place. All to play for as we head into the second furious week of competition!

CMCB scientists are participating in #WarwickUni Tri-Grid Challenge Term 2 2024. CMCB Flyers languish in 9th place, while IBR Labrats and IBR Labrats (2nd team) are in 4th and 8th place respectively.

Want to program a tree in @turtlestitch using #recursion?

Last year's tutorials used variables & repeat loops, but they aren't necessary.

Less than 24 hours to go in the #WarwickUni Tri Grid Challenge. CMCB flyers have consolidated their 5th place but wait - what is this? Disaster for IBR Labrats! Base prime alpha squadron surge have surged past with 494.29 points to Labrats’ 476.63. A nail biting and tense day ahead.

Good luck to all competitors!
