Ticketmaster has to be the worst customer experience ever. Log on early and check account ✔️ Go on 10 mins before sale starts and click to join lobby✔️ Get asked to authenticate my account via a code to my phone ✔️ Enter code and click 'Confirm' ✔️ And then nothing.....

Another huge step forward in the story of CTx001. And another outstanding milestone achieved by the team at CTx. Congratulations, everyone! It's come a long way from sitting on a piece of paper somewhere in @fbmh-uom.bsky.social @prof-clark.bsky.social www.linkedin.com/posts/geneth...

I know accuracy is important, but I'm not entirely sure why #bbcsport feel the need to report numbers of matches, wins and points to 2 decimal places... 🤣

Of course, when Farage talks about Britain being a "free, independent nation", he clearly believes that some people should be more free than others. Knob.

By popular demand, here is the full, glorious message from Aberystwyth University Library, on their blog: wordpress.aber.ac.uk/librarian/?p... Hat tip to @walkyouhome.bsky.social for prompting me to realise it was a blog post, and thus available to you all ❤️

Cases of invasive meningococcal disease have been confirmed in Kent. Sadly, 2 people are known to have died. It's important to know the signs of symptoms of meningitis and septicaemia. Get more info from NHS. 🔗 nhs.uk/conditions/meningitis

Our paper out today combines my love of blood proteomics and a seriously awesome group of experts I am humbled to be included alongside. Thanks to @ypriverol.bsky.social and Asier Larrea-Sebal for leading. This is a great modern review with a nod to non-MS data. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Great to play a small part in this fantastic study. 😁

We are entirely rational:

Do you know anyone keen to study cancers of unmet need and understand how to improve their responses to treatment? We are looking for a curious enthusiastic scientific officer to work at @cruknbc.bsky.social , close ties with @manchester.ac.uk and @christieinstitute.bsky.social

We go again.... #swfc #wawaw

Great British Values number #43 - Always be gracious in defeat. Seriously, the hypocrisy of these people is so huge it can be seen from space. Just get in the bin. Horrible, horrible people.

#swfc 💙

Unbelievable. Also loving Lizzie Yarnold in the studio living and breathing every second. Superb. #bbcolympics

A special opportunity for lovers of mass spectrometry proteomics to join a like-minded team at PTI. Join a collaborative initiative to enable direct protein analysis at unprecedented scale, in partnership with leading instrument developers, academics, and industry leaders. 1/2

Noooooo This is so sad. Grew up watching him play. Watching him entertain. And listening to him commentate. Mr Snooker. Always came across as a genuinely lovely and funny bloke too. Gonna be really missed. #RIPJV #bbcsnooker www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooke...

Asked about paused funding calls at research councils, Chapman said that at BBSRC: "We’re going to pause gently while we reorient the system to be always open, so it will paused just for matter of a few weeks" "On MRC...that pause I expect will run until early summer and then will be open again"

I have a 3-year postdoc position available at University of Manchester for a mass spec expert in proteomics. The person will be involved in exciting projects in single cell proteomics, drug discovery and innate immunity - on timsTOF Ultra AIP & HF & Astral Zoom. www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DQJ093/r...

Rumours of 'more news in spring', which likely means no rounds until summer and no money being released until 2027 at the earliest. Given the virtual cancellation of the current round, where applicants and reviewers have already poured thousands of hours of work and effort, that's a 12 month gap.

Wow 😱

Congrats to spinouts KOKU Health (Prof Emma Stanmore) & Spotlight Pathology (Martin Fergie/Richard Byers) & Maria Giovanna Lizio (WILD Imaging Technologies) on being shortlisted for BioNow Awards!

😭😭😭😭 If this happens, and it looks likely, the club will have lost one of its best ever servants. Not enough words to say thank you for all he's done for #swfc. I know it's not what he would have chose. Gutted is an understatement. #wawaw www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

It would be typically Wednesday if Barry Bannan's first game for a new club happens to be against us at Hillsborough on Valentine's Day #swfc #justsaying

UKRI pauses several funding calls amid priorities shake-up The applicant-led MRC funding calls on pause include research grants, partnership grants and new investigator research grants made available through the council’s research boards. www.researchprofessional.com/news-article...

Sad news about #ChrisRea. Was a bit of a fan when I was growing up. Predictable focus on 'Driving home for Christmas'. But it's not even his best Christmas song lol. If you've not heard it, check this. The Intro is 🔥, and the lyrics are top drawer Thanks, Chris. RiP youtu.be/nYz21xcJxTs?...

Just a gentle reminder to anyone who needs this... Please share with your followers. You might be surprised who it could help...

Dear the entire USA. You guys know that this is not normal, right? 🤦‍♂️😬

I have a PhD position available with start date September 2026 at the University of Manchester. Proteomics analysis of flow cytometry-based isolated pathogen-containing phagosomes Due to funding requirements, this position is for UK home students only. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

2 adjacent papers in my timeline with new AD biomarkers. First claims 'accurate prediction'. Second claims 'prognosic value'. First has an AUC of 0.769. Second has AUC 0.71 [95%CI 0.57–0.85]. Both values from the discovery cohort only. Is it just me, or are these neither accurate or valuable?

This is one of the funniest things I've read in ages... 🤣🤣👏👏

I am looking for a PostDoc to join my group at Genentech to drive the development of proteomics technologies to fuel target and therapeutic discovery and development. Check out the link below! careers.gene.com/us/en/job/20...

This is an outstanding thread, and is spot on... The drive towards open access/data sharing has been driven by funders. They're important, sure, but as an author I consider these more because my funder and employers expect it. The same people can lead to not-for-profit and quality over quantity.

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round

Whinge of the week: So far this week I've read THREE papers where the title claims to have identified and validated novel biomarkers for disease X. Of the three, one is in mice, one is based on a 10 v 10 cohort, and the third has an AUROC of 0.65, falling to below 0.6 in a second cohort.

Daniel Hannan has a self-awareness problem

Well this was kind of inevitable but it still makes for horrible reading. Should mean the back of Chansiri and fresh start, though, if we can find a sale. 🤞🤞😢 🦉🦉🦉 #wawaw #swfc www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

This is accurate. There's a valley of death between 'good academic research' and 'ready for investment'. Every project at that stage is risky, and because there's not much money instututions cherry pick and become risk averse. If you wanna win the lottery, buy more tickets.
