  15. #introduction:
    I am a Lecturer and #NewPI at the #UniversityOfManchester #UoM
    I am interested in how cellular interactions with the tumour microenvironment control fundamental aspects of cancer cell behaviour, including regulation of gene expression.
    In @thebyronlab, we combine #proteomics, #sequencing, #bioinformatics, functional #CellBiology, super-resolution #imaging and #cancer models, to discover new properties of cancer #CellAdhesion #networks.

  16. Great to see interest in my thread yesterday on #exoplanet detection using #microlensing.

    astrodon.social/@eamonn_kerins

    I promised threads on 2 other topics: detecting exoplanet #atmospheres using #TransmissionSpectroscopy, and also on #SETI - the Search for #ExtraterrestrialIntelligence.

    I'll leave the thread on exoplanet atmospheres to next month to chime (hopefully) with some new work we're doing here at the #UniversityOfManchester.

    So, later this week, we'll talk about hunting for #aliens! 👽

    " paraphrased
    Kevin Anderson, professor of energy and climate change at the Universities of Manchester, Uppsala and Bergen :
    “The choice is between deep, rapid and fair decarbonisation of modern society, and an organised-ish technical and social revolution; or ongoing rhetoric and delay as temperatures [rise]. And then we’ll have a revolutionary style change that will be both chaotic and violent.”

    On nature, Nathalie Seddon, professor of biodiversity at the University of Oxford, said:
    “We are facing a national emergency not only because the climate is changing, but because the living systems that protect the climate are breaking down. This isn’t about choosing between the economy and the environment. It’s about recognising that the economy is embedded within the environment, and that the health of the nation depends on the living systems that sustain us.”

    Tim Lenton, director of the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter, said that a collapse in the Atlantic meridianal overturning current (Amoc) would leave London freezing in winters of -20C, “and yet the summers would still be hotter than today’s”, leading to a situation where the UK would be 100% reliant on food imports. “We have got to do everything in our power to limit the amount of time we spend above 1.5C [above preindustrial temperatures],” Lenton said.

    Richard Nugee, a retired general, said politicians focused on the threat from Russia were failing to see the greater threat of the climate crisis. “Climate change is going to be a bigger problem than Russia,” he said. “It’s an insidious threat, one that has crept up. It’s going to do more damage than the threats they’re focused on now. But all they see is a resurgent Russia.”

    He said politicians needed to ensure the UK could cope with the greater extremes of weather that were already apparent and going to worsen. The lack of action to ensure that vital infrastructure is resilient was leaving the country vulnerable to extreme weather, and open to attack from enemies who could perceive this weakness.

    “Having spent most of my life fighting, I need to believe this country to be strong. The last thing I want to see is this country go to war. But we are not providing a sufficient deterrent, because we are not resilient enough [to the impacts of the climate crisis],” said Nugee.
