Twitter tells me it’s my Twitter anniversary and I should tweet something! All I have is this twitching blood vessel (mesenteric artery) that I found during a digital spring clean recently. A bit random but……

Hey @EDI_Airport we landed over 1 hour ago from Stuttgart. Where’s the bags? Direct flight to quite a small airport. Not impressed.

Announcement from @EDI_Airport. ‘Baggage delayed for operational reasons’. 🤷. Thank you. It’s a great comfort to know it’s not for financial, legal, or political reasons. We have decided to wait for personal reasons.

The 150th anniversary of Partick Thistle FC . Coincides with the 150th anniversary of the (@PhySoc) Physiological Society. PTFC are having a music festival. If music is your thang then eur03.safelinks.protection.o…%… If it’s physiology then go here. (physoc.org/150-years-of-d…)

Just pirenzepine arriving at a Muscarinic receptor, hanging around for a bit and then leaving. Think I got lucky with this MD simulation. Full disclosure. One half is a backwards movie (the arrival). Fallen down a rabbit hole with this MD stuff!

It’s the day after the night before. @UofGSCMH held its #SCMHAthenaSwan #EDI celebration ceilidh lastnight. Huge thanks to all those who came + made it such a fun night! Fantastic music from “The Midgierakers” with @CraigJDaly + a piping treat to start the night from @kyleshead7

Another fabulous 3D model added to the XR Life Science Sketchfab collection. This Renal Glomerulus was modelled by Agni Papamanoli as part of a final year project for MSc Medical Visualisation & Anatomy @UofGMVLS @GSofASimVis . skfb.ly/ppr6E

A new 3D model added to the XR Life Science sketchfab collection. This one took a while! A muscarinic (M3) receptor with bound fluo-pirenzepine within a lipid bilayer. It's a single frame from a 96ns molecular dynamics simulation. (skfb.ly/oX8qW)

It was a real honour to deliver the Keynote today at the #UofGTechConf Amazed but never surprised at the knowledge and expertise that UofG techs contribute. Fabulous posters.

Another 3D model added to the XRLS (xrlifescience.com) Sketchfab collection. This time a Femur. A bit heavy at 1M polys but it’s down to 85Mb having started at around 45Gb when it came off the Micro CT Scanner. skfb.ly/oSCKM You should see this one in #VR 🔬😎

Thanks @scotmicro for the opportunity to present today. Really interesting meeting.
And to start the final session, Craig Daly from @UofGlasgow speaking about 'From Microscope to Metaverse'. #SMS2023

This has to be said. Without the massive victory of 2018 - which many in our own union refused to acknowledge and celebrate - we would be on fully defined contribution pensions now and there would have been nothing to save. Victory to the workers in 2018 and again in 2023!
Do not let anyone tell you that this would have happened anyway because the financial landscape changed. It happened because UCU members and negotiators fought for it. Had we not stood in the cold and sacrificed ££££, our pension would have been decimated and no DB.

A great day out at University of Birmingham giving the Keynote at #LifeSci3D and then demonstrating some VR Spinal Cord content.

A 10Gb volume of mitochondria (brown) segmented from a block of EM data. The processing (using machine learning) was done on the @UofGMVLS Advanced Research System (MARS). Having an account on MARS just feels kinda cool. Follow me for more pictures from MARS 👽
