MagLOV! MagLOV is a fluorescent protein you can "turn off" with a handheld magnet, engineered by @mariaingaramo.bsky.social. We think/hope we can use it to turn arbitrary proteins (including drugs!) on and off in opaque creatures (including humans!). bsky.app/profile/addg...

Hurley lab new study - looks extremely good. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This looks very nice from Ivan's lab! #Autophagy www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

You may have heard of E=mc2. You may have even heard of it written more properly with a squared symbol. But... how do mass and energy *actually* compare? Spend your Friday exploring the scales of the universe in this Minute Labs project: Mass-Energy Scale. 🧪 ⚛️ https://buff.ly/3AVzDXo

As my lab's first post on Bluesky. If you are a UK Structural Biologist please come to our one day meeting on Friday 6th December Lots of talk slots to be selected from abstracts. Deadline for abstracts is TOMORROW: Friday 15th Nov. bit.ly/4fDEqfZ

SWBio........

Great news that we have received a Doctoral Landscape Award from the BBSRC to renew the SWBio DTP! This new £22.4 investment will fund ~160 4-year PhD studentships over 5 years (subject to midterm review!). www.bristol.ac.uk/news/2024/no...

Fantastic news of major investment that @BBSRC are making for #PhD #bioscience students🙌 - 293Million! Also very pleased to announce that @SWBio_DTP has been funded to support training these next generation of researchers Further info: www.ukri.org/news/major-i...
