Engineer blood cancer to defeat it!👨‍🔬👩‍🔬 I'm hiring a Senior Scientific Officer at the CRUK Manchester Institute — using CRISPR to recreate the mutation combinations behind AML and MDS, and find where they're vulnerable. Hands-on. Apply 👇 @cruk-mi.bsky.social apps.cruk.manchester.ac.uk/recruitment/...

🙌 We’ve been ranked first in the world in the Times Higher Education Sustainability Impact Ratings. @timeshighered.bsky.social

I've just contacted a company and their rep has replied with an email which looks very much like an AI rehash: 'I understand that you want *lists my request*', 'I'd like to find out more about your *exact wording of application*' etc. Should I be annoyed? Or keep going until I talk to a human?

I have some sympathy for Kier Starmer. Elected to be boring after the chaos of Johnson/Truss wrecked the Tories, his boringness ended up being his downfall. Yes he made mistakes, but I feel his blandness did for him as he couldn't sieze the narrative. He leaves the UK better than when he took over.

Emma Hayes has been the best thing about this World Cup by a million miles so far. #Legend

Another UK chemistry department in trouble - this time Sheffield. savesheffieldchemistry.netlify.app

Love this. Can just imagine the conversation. Storch: How can we increase our hospitality takings? Hirsty: Let's see if they can keep up with me! 🤣🤣🤣🍺 #swfc

OK. Was taking a while to get into the #WorldCup but I'm now desperate to watch Belgium vs Egypt so I guess I'm there... 🤣🤣🤣

I stand by a comment I made last week. If Thermo want to be seen as taking this seriously, they should hold themselves to the same standards as their customers are. Anyone using this kind if 'optimisation' in a paper would be looking at a retraction for fraud.

Thermo Fisher now has a page up in response to our observations. They flatly deny that images were manipulated or fabricated while repeating that images were "optimized for presentation and clarity on the website", no lie, six times. www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/l...

😲😲😲😲

Gastrophage...

This...

This is REALLY bad of Thermo. They've got caught, and their statement (in thread) smacks of a complete misunderstanding of of what they've done and disregard for their customers. What would happen if I submitted a paper with an image that had been "adjusted for presentaton purposes". Quite.

A reminder that this position closes in a few days time!

Of course, if you ask this question to people in Manchester, the most common answer will be 'London' 😂 #LoveMCR

Is this just a genius piece of marketing by Thermo to sell more mass specs? Joking aside, this is BAAAAAD. If we can't trust the data that is provided by companies (a company) that shows their product works, how do we know what were're buying/using? Luckily, p53 isn't very impor..... oh dear 🤦‍♂️

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

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... 🤣
