Hi sco, I would say things are pretty similar in the states, at least at my institution. You need to fill out a lot of paperwork including the procedures you're doing, how many mice you use typically,

I appreciate you being willing to admit that you once held beliefs different from your own. It really humanizes the argument imo. Looking forward to seeing more posts from you!

I really liked the point you made about science-enthusiasts. I see a lot of this on social media, like from shares from pages named "I fucking love science." It's good to be involved and to advocate

Great post. Working in immunology and pediatric infectious disease exposes me to a lot of anti-vaxx and anti-science attitudes. It's good to see a step-by-step refutation of false claims.

Maybe I was being a little mean to them in my post! :) I love watching them explore and groom each other, especially when you get the occasional acrobat that backflips off the food and water dispenser

Thank you so much. Animal welfare is something that is so important to me, but often working in science makes me question a lot of things. Knowing we are working towards a goal of minimal suffering is

So glad to be a part of this community! I really enjoy reading trending posts and the digests to polish my writing. It has helped my writing style a lot, with the benefit of learning new things!

It is...challenging to say the least. Probably the most challenging part is convincing IT that yes, I need admin privileges, and yes I really do need Linux installed on my machine!

Beautiful flow cytometry! It always makes me happy when I can follow along with others' work. Looking forward to more in this series. After the events of this workweek, I am planning on starting a series

Thank you so much! I would be really interested in collaborating and contributing to this series...an anthology of scientific discovery perhaps?

Incredible work. You should be proud of yourself!

Fantastic post! My field is in immunology, so I read and write a lot about subjects that people like to discredit the science behind :) I really look forward to seeing more of your series, as I believe

This is incredible work! How many hours of work goes into something like this?

Great article! I think it would be interesting to write out a timeline for the publishing process as well. I know it varies between different fields. For example, we had one paper go from concept to journal

Thank you so much! I hope my sources can be of benefit to you. Working as a science educator and with parents, especially those in the hospital, has made me turn 180 degrees in how I approach people. I

I think @lifeaef makes some really good points from an anti-vaxx point of view. I know historically I have come off condescending and rude because of course my viewpoint is right and they just need to

Thank you so very much for your perspective. I appreciate you being able to approach this from a philosophical viewpoint. It's like I said in my post. Most of the parents I encounter who dont vaccinate

I think it will be here sooner than we think! In the free software imageJ you can already detect spots of a certain criteria (size, intensity, etc) on images, which i would imagine is pretty similar to

I studied bioengineering with a big emphasis in computer modeling. It is so exciting to see how computers and AI are going to be able to influence our health landscape. I think we can really look forward

Great post! As a person working in an immunology lab, I know that learning about all the different immune cells can be intimidating for lay folk. Hope to see more from you!
