The tomato plants keep growing, now there are some outside in the garden too... Everything else continues to grapple with the concept of being a scientist in lockdown - no lab, no new data. Just the work of untangling data we already have, shaping it into manuscripts without the chance to add a gel or tidy up a figure. Lots of MSTeams meetings, lots! It's lovely to see everybody but hard to have a natural conversation, no eye contact an inability to fully interpret body language. Screen fatigue. Wifi issues 😑. But we keep going, grant applications are always exciting especially now when we can only anticipate the experiments. Collaborations, meetings proposals as well as finding interesting bits of data that had been placed to one side. Onwards!
Lisa Chakrabarti and a small group of scientists are working on mitochondrial biology in the context of ageing, exercise, disease and other interesting areas. Here you will find some little updates, thoughts and profiles describing what we are up to.
