When you didn’t get time for breakfast, but this appears at the end of your morning meeting 😍 Thanks team ABI, happy to keep drawing out these celebrations!
New record - got a manuscript outcome notification today for a paper I submitted in November 2023 🤯 TWENTY-ONE MONTHS to reach a first decision of minor revisions. The system is broken. 😒 #atleastitwasntrejected
And yes, I did send many follow up emails over this time, and threatened to pull it at least once!
Here (in work led by Dr Anna Boss and her student Isha) we are imaging the blood vessels in the placenta (red) and the surrounding tissue (green) in 3D to see how the vascular architecture of the placenta is impacted by obesity.
Pleased some of our earlier work imaging the Boyd Collection at @loke-ctr.bsky.social could be integrated into this lovely paper by @vethannaphd.bsky.social et al. looking to how we can use new machine learning tools to get even more value from this kind of legacy data. doi.org/10.1016/j.pl... 👏
