Engineering synthetic co-cultures to be "needy" leads to unexpected consequences. We barely scratch the surface here, but get some interesting insights #biotech 🧪 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

“Phycosphere Friday” Nannochloropsis and his pals. 🧪

We need to sympathise with the USA people, not lambast them because their government is letting them down.

Microdroplets with algae a go! 🧪

Made an egg and coconut curry for dinner- it was disgusting 🤢

Sadly my research group don’t want to do Science conferences in USA🇺🇸 currently, despite my efforts to separate politics and science, I can’t make them go :-( 🧪 #science

Peering into our new 1500 L photobioreactor- this will cultivate a consortia identified from screened in 100 uL…we are now 7 orders of magnitude bigger! 🧪

Research problems? Talk about it! 🧪 www.pandhalresearchgroup.co.uk/post/scuttle...

@frankiemaguire.bsky.social loved the pina colada analogy 😂

Hmm, it’s really nerdy and sad what thought crossed my mind when I got these socks for Christmas 🎄🧪🧬

Excellent Christmas Meal with the group to celebrate all the hard work in 2025…best nerd wishes to you all 🧪

It’s that time of year when I get back into the lab…vital job making “live” baubles…🧪

Imagine getting a grant rejected as the panel believed that receiving purchased equipment is a risk. 😭🧪

Feeling a little fragmented myself to be honest #japantravel 🚝🧪😬

Pretty algae pigments! Chitose, Japan 🧪 chitose-bio.com

Well, I feel better about mine now...🧪💩

Fancy joining two labs at the University of Sheffield to convert sunlight 🌞 into high value chemicals by engineering cyanobacteria? 🧪 CASE PhD studentship opportunity in Sunny Sheff...https://shorturl.at/ye9No

An excellent couple of days discussing our project to reprogramme microalgae to nourish people and the planet 🧪. Only regret is ending up at #TheWashingtonPub so late #engineeringbiology @UKRI_News #algae

Did you know that Master's students are now eligible to join the Microbiology Society as part of our new Undergraduate and Master's Student membership category? Find out more and join our community of microbiologists: microb.io/4qfCiA6 👩🔬

One of those days…🧪

Just completed some environmental sampling near Hatfield Colliery, one of the last deep coal mines in the UK. Hoping to get some super bacteria/algae 🧪🧫👌🏽

Very pretty inside the photobioreactor!

Our new 1500 L photobioreactor is almost ready to go…fitted with internal lights, microbubbles, lots of sensors and automated harvesting, exciting times! 🧪

Just completed my first month in the UK as an exchange student! So many new experiences, Check out my blog for more details wix.to/XynCsJt 🧪

After a meeting here I came down with the lurgy…again raising awareness that microbes always win

Science at its best! 🔬 🍏Join us as we delve into innovative methods in Professor Nina Lin's lab, turning algae into microdroplets (and apples into cider)! Read more: wix.to/SfIdiaL #Algae #Cider #Research 🧪

Diatoms from coastal Singapore getting a “Sling” off some macroalgae (sorry). 🍹🧪

For just a mere $89 (£66) I can print off our (old) research article into a poster! Lucky us Springer Nature!!! 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🧪💰

Stressing millions of litres of microalgae from green to red…🧪

Spirulina growing in flat panels at VAXA, Iceland. LEDs cooled by glacial water and CO2 from volcanic gases. 🧪

Day 18 and it’s finally GREEN! 🧪

Day 8, could be too late. Chlorophyll? Yes. Lipid bodies? Yes (but stressed?) Cellulose cell wall? Fragmented!!! 🤦🏻‍♂️🧪

Day 3…….no algae 🤔 (that rhymes!) 🧪

I’ve been assured by the research team this will be green soon…pray for the algae 🙏🏽🧪

Tyrannosaurus tricornutum 🧪

Make Algae Great Again: Had an amazing time at the International Conference of Algal Biomass, Biofuels and Bioproducts in Phoenix, Arizona. 🧪 More details: wix.to/3Om0f3L #AlgaeInnovation #Sustainability @sheffunieng.bsky.social

Lichen in the Grand Canyon 🧪

Well done Angus on an excellent MEng project poster presentation on algae and aerosols! 🧪

Panic in the postdoc room

Lab Coats, Bomb Vests and Sundried Tomatoes 🧪 www.pandhalresearchgroup.co.uk/post/lab-coa...

Very much enjoyed listening to talks about power plays and policy puzzles at Pint of Science last night 🧪🍻. It’s not all about engineering!

Good to see the group growing!
