Huge congrats to Keown lab and co on their cool new paper! 📕 I watched this one come together and it is amazing to see all that hard work pay off. Proud of the first-time sole corresponding author 🎉

I wondering if anyone who does cryoEM or work with cold things could help me! I am looking for a hot plate to dry tools post being in liquid nitrogen. They all seem to be £800+ for something so simple. Anyone know where to source a cheap warming plate?

I’ve landed at the SLS, University of Warwick! 🎉 Thanks to the Wellcome Trust for supporting this next chapter. Everyone’s been so welcoming, and I’m excited for the challenges ahead (even the endless quizzes 📝). Risk assessments first, then into the lab! Missing old friends, see you soon for EM 🔬❄️

I love reading @jiexiaolab.bsky.social papers. They have lovely elegant stories to unwrap this complex system.

Getting a behind the scenes look at conference organisation on the committee for dynamic cell. I have deep respect for all those who do this and their “day” job. If you are interested globally in cell biology have a look at this conference for next year www.biochemistry.org/events-and-t...

I am somehow for the first time ever reviewing for PNAS and their reviewer instructions include this BANGER of a line: "The purpose of peer review is not to demonstrate proficiency in identifying flaws" Print it in eleventy point font and hang it from the hillside. Scream it from the rooftops.

How cute is this little rubbish bin?! One of my fantastic lab colleagues brought it for me 🌺

Tomorrow is International Women’s Day! ✨ let’s celebrate all the incredible women out there, a well done can makes a difference. My inspos @sykhalid.bsky.social, Lindsay Baker, Emily Parker, slay. Also grateful for male mentors like Colin who shaped my career. Amazing women—keep pushing and shine! 💪

The Barr lab @ox.ac.uk has discovered the important role of cell division timing mechanisms in the formation of cancer. The research, funded by Cancer Research UK, provides valuable insight into how damaged cells are normally stopped from growing. ⬇️ bit.ly/202502-barr

Why do antibiotics sometimes fail even against non-resistant bacteria? Prof. Dirk Bumann’s team challenges the widespread belief that particularly resilient bacteria are responsible for antibiotic failure. @unibas.ch @nature.com @nccr-antiresist.bsky.social www.biozentrum.unibas.ch/news/detail/...

A postdoc position for someone interested in joining the fantastic team working on outer membrane protein organisation in bacteria. Based at @oxfordbiochemistry.bsky.social my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru...

So much fun, what a great and interesting group of people at St Anne’s!

Gram-neg bacteria can resist #phages by modifying their LPS, also affecting #antibiotic susceptibility. @lavishaparab.bsky.social &co show that antibiotic concentrations influence evolution of E. coli phage resistance, leading to enhanced phage-antibiotic synergy 🧪 @plosbiology.org plos.io/4hPmO0X

Glox Therapeutics received up to £500,000 from LifeArc's £3 million fund to develop precision antibiotics for AMR lung infections in cystic fibrosis. Their platform targets drug-resistant bacteria without harming the microbiome. We wish them success. pulse2.com/glox-therape...

Can’t wait to hear this. It can only be good.

Some exciting news, folks. @timcoulson.bsky.social and I have a new science podcast launching soon. Please do follow the account for updates. More details coming very soon!

Super excited to go join the fantastic team at the School of Life Sciences, but it is with a heavy heart leaving friends and colleagues at Oxford, who have made my last 7years in the UK amazing. Without them I wouldn’t be here. warwick.ac.uk/newsandevent...

@s-lab.bsky.social always gives such exciting presentations. Was fantastic seeing how these bacteria grow and catching up over a meal!
