Be sure to catch Toby Samuels talk on Geomicrobiology at tomorrow nights ChatSci-PubScience event! - Here's a bit of background about Toby... - "I studied for my PhD in Geomicrobiology at the UK Centre for Astrobiology, University of Edinburgh. While there, I studied microbial-rock interactions in eroding shale cliffs on the North Yorkshire coastline. But on the side, I helped to set up the 500-year microbiology experiment, a project aimed to quantify the longevity of microorganisms over hundred-year time scales. Currently, I am a post-doctoral research associate at the Institute of Evolutionary Biology, investigating the response of Southern Ocean diatoms to global change" - Picture 1 - "PhD Begins - Collecting rock samples from eroding shale cliffs!" - Picture 2 - "A:The 500-year Microbiology Experiment, B: vials with dried cyanobacterial cells, C: desiccated agar plates with cultured cyanobacteria" - Picture 3 - "PhD Ends - me with a copy of my thesis and my industrial supervisor, David Pybus." - 📅 Tomorrow Night! ⏰ 6:30pm 📍 Teviot Dining Room, Teviot Student Union, Bistro Square

Join us for an exciting one-off event in collaboration with Edinburgh Napier's @pubscience! - Two speakers, one from @edinburghuniversity and one from @edinburghnapier come together for a ChatSci-PubScience mashup. Each speaker will give a short talk (with questions from the audience welcomed throughout), with time at the end of each talk left for a short discussion session with each speaker. - IMPORTANT INFORMATION 📅 Wednesday 13th March ⏰ 6:30pm start 📍 Teviot Dining Room, Teviot Student Union, George Square 💵 FREE - Click attending on our Facebook event or go to our website for more information - Link in Bio

‪Here’s a taster for some of the artwork on display at the #ArtSciPostcard exhibition in @edinburghuniversity main library. The work was created through conversations between artists and scientists in the @ascusartandscience lab. The exhibition is on display all week for @uoe_fcl #artsci #FCL19 #InterSci ‬

Ana Rondelli: Speaker Two for Monday's ChatSci! - Catch up on all our posts from this week to find out more about her research, as well as what our first speaker, John, will be speaking about as well! - ChatSci Week 3 is on Monday 18th February at 6.30pm, Dining Room, Teviot Student Union. http://ow.ly/4Xql30nEbJx - #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries7 #edinburgh #whatsonedinburgh #intersci #edinburghuniversity #tissuerepair #littlefrance #regenerativemedicine #pathology #neurologicaldisease #multiplesclerosis #ms #tissuerepair #art #science #electronmicroscopy #electrons #microscope #myelin #axons #humanhair #projectsofthebrain

Come on Monday to listen to our great second speaker, Ana Rondelli, and find out more about her amazing research. - "During my PhD I also had the chance to pursue one of my passions- to use art and science as a way to facilitate dialogue between people who live with Multiple Sclerosis and researchers of Multiple Sclerosis, a project which I called 'Portraits of the Brain'." - ChatSci Week 3 is on Monday 18th February at 6.30pm, Dining Room, Teviot Student Union. http://ow.ly/4Xql30nEbJx - #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries7 #edinburgh #whatsonedinburgh #intersci #edinburghuniversity #tissuerepair #littlefrance #regenerativemedicine #pathology #neurologicaldisease #multiplesclerosis #ms #tissuerepair #art #science #electronmicroscopy #electrons #microscope #myelin #axons #humanhair #projectsofthebrain

Today's the day for our fantastic speaker two to be announced! - Meet Ana Rondelli: "I am a final year 'Tissue Repair' PhD student at Edinburgh University, in the lab of Prof Anna Williams at the Centre for Regenerative Medicine, within Little France campus. The lab is focused on understanding what goes wrong (the pathology) in two main neurological diseases: Multiple Sclerosis and Small Vessel Disease and finding ways to improve tissue repair. Did you know that the brain functions within a low oxygen environment, called hypoxia? In my PhD I hope to better understand how changes in the brain’s hypoxic environment affects remyelination, the repair process of the damaged myelin sheaths that occurs in Multiple Sclerosis. I am Ana, I am a local of Bucharest, Romania and of Edinburgh, Scotland, with Italian roots. I am passionate about the brain, I enjoy communicating science and exploring ways in which art and science can work together. " - "In my research I use electron microscopy to be able to see myelinated and demyelinated axons in the brain of a mouse model of Multiple Sclerosis. In this picture you can see: the electron microscope that uses a beam of electrons as a source of illumination, this allows us to see structures at the level of microns and a picture of axons surrounded by black rings – the myelin sheaths. For comparison, the diameter of a human hair is within the range of 17 to 181 µm (millionths of a meter). " - ChatSci Week 3 is on Monday 18th February at 6.30pm, Dining Room, Teviot Student Union. http://ow.ly/4Xql30nEbJx - #ChatSci #ChatSciSeries7 #edinburgh #whatsonedinburgh #intersci #edinburghuniversity #tissuerepair #littlefrance #regenerativemedicine #pathology #neurologicaldisease #multiplesclerosis #ms #tissuerepair #art #science #electronmicroscopy #electrons #microscope #myelin #axons #humanhair
