@mjafreeman.bsky.social's BlueSky starter packs for 'mechanistic' biologists

Here’s my spreadsheet of starter packs (>80!) related to broadly ‘mechanistic biology’ plus some intriguing extras

Complete with collective nouns

I’ve been tracking these but now can’t keep up

Hope it’s helpful

Hi, can you add me to the list? Work on circadian rhythms and antiviral immunity :)

Can I also suggest @drandybroadbent.bsky.social ?

Please can I be added? Thanks!

Hi Eric, I work on host-pathogen interactions: profiles.imperial.ac.uk/rachel.edgar
Please add me :)

Thought I’d share a guide that we have created at The Brain Tumour Charity to help support our community members that are seeking to engage with the 10year health plan consultation. Hoping it helps in any small way and happy to discuss how it was built: www.thebraintumourcharity.org/get-involved...
