🌋 When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, time stood still in Pompeii and Herculaneum - preserving 2,000-year-old olive oil inside sealed glass bottles! High-resolution mass spectrometry on these ancient archaeological samples allowed the mapping of “molecular evolution that oil has undergone”.🏺🫒

🧠 On this #WorldMentalHealthDay, here’s a simple rundown from a recent study on how lipid metabolism ties into your mental health: - Depression and lipid metabolism are connected. - Studies show lower levels of omega-3s in depression - Omega-3s - are anti-inflammatory powerhouses! buff.ly/NrCJ9mc

🐙 #TBT to last years #WorldOctopusDay because it’s still really cool… Did you know .... Nearly 400 lipid species have been identified from 13 classes of polar lipids in the common octopus, Octopus vulgaris. buff.ly/MHxXaGM #octopus #octopi #octopodes

💚 On #WorldCerebralPalsyDay, we highlight the crucial role lipids play in neurodevelopment! The myelin sheath that insulates brain axons is roughly 70–80% lipid by dry weight - dominated by galactosylceramide, sulfatides, and sphingomyelin.🧠 Lipidomics drives research! buff.ly/nT1AdoT

📢 Announcement - This month's #webinar will be presented by Janet Deane in the @deanelab.bsky.social from @thecimr.bsky.social, titled: 'How Glycosphingolipids Modulate the Plasma Membrane Proteome Influencing Neuronal Activity’ on 27th October 2026.🥳 Register now: buff.ly/9Bg1XFw

🐳 Ever wondered how marine mammals survive freezing deep-ocean waters? It’s all in their lipidome! 🐋 Cetacean blubber isn't just "fat"- it’s a dynamic, matrix packed with triacylglycerols, wax esters, and plasmalogens that provide thermoregulation, buoyancy, and rapid energy. buff.ly/Yxdv2UC

🍫 Willy Wonka would approve: great chocolate depends on lipid crystallisation. The magical snap and velvety melt-in-your-mouth texture of chocolate depends on symmetry; lipids must lock into the stable Form V crystal lattice to deliver chocolate perfection. 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.cr... #RoaldDahlDay

Happy Birthday to John Dalton, born 260 years ago!⚛️ Dalton's atomic theory changed science, and his name lives on in the Dalton (Da), the unit used to measure lipid masses. Today, high-resolution mass spectrometry can distinguish lipid isomers differing by <0.001 Da. 🧪🔬 #JohnDalton #Lipidomics
