@jinweizhang Thank you, Jinwei!

[Alex Borodavka @AlexBoRNA]

@fodorlab Thank you!

[Biochemical Society @BiochemSoc]

Congratulations to @AlexBoRNA who presented the 2025 Colworth Medal Lecture today! Alex discussed how his work positions viral replication organelles as tractable systems for dissecting the biophysical principles underpinning RNA selection and turnover #BiochemAwards

[Alex Borodavka @AlexBoRNA]

What an amazing feeling having a cohort of Biotechnology students @cebcambridge applaud after my last lecture of the Term! Moments like this remind me why I love teaching every bit as much as doing research.

[Alex Borodavka @AlexBoRNA]

@jinweizhang @chillzaa @CharlesBNader Congratulations, Jinwei, Charles and co-authors, so great to see this work finally out!

[Alex Borodavka @AlexBoRNA]

Please consider joining our interdisciplinary team studying viruses, RNA, and condensates, also if you’d like to move to Cambridge, UK, while this position remains open: https://t.co/XbuJVfQcZZ

And another position for those interested in joining us to gain research experience, and help us grow, please consider applying here: https://t.co/w76A5SZfoG

[Jörg Vogel @JoergLab]

Apply now, spread the word: three (3) fully funded Helmholtz research groups (assistant prof level) with attractive packages. Topics: RNA-based medicine, microbial RNA, and RNA-based infection research incl. RNA technologies. Great environment for young people. Come and join us.

@FrankSobott @British_Airways Agreed. BA service is abysmal, poorly trained and incompetent staff. The only appealing factor was the fact that BA has their vast presence at Heathrow, and one would hope they’d look after their customer base. Yet, they’ve been so unhelpful, there’s no point in using them.

[Alex Borodavka @AlexBoRNA]

BA has just demonstrated yet another level of incompetence @British_Airways - 6 hours kept on a plane bound for Montreal, kicked out all passengers at midnight at the airport without accommodation and any support offered.

[Alex Borodavka @AlexBoRNA]

@Davidbhella @British_Airways Absolutely shambolic! I’m trying to get through the BA customer services, I just can’t quite fathom the scale of their incompetence/callousness towards their own customers! Avoid at any cost if you can.

[Alex Borodavka @AlexBoRNA]

@corcoran_lab @British_Airways Will do, Jen! Was hoping to meet some folks from McGill, but no luck. Let’s see if I can retrieve my suitcase (or ideally it will make it with me to Montreal tomorrow) and whether I can check in for my flight tomorrow (today that is)

[Alex Borodavka @AlexBoRNA]

Thank you @ListerInstitute for the two fantastic days of excellent science. Excited to join this wondeful and friendly community!

[The Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine @ListerInstitute]

2024 #ListerFellow @AlexBoRNA will use Lister Prize funding to investigate how certain disease-causing RNA viruses organise their unusual segmented chromosomes. #ListerAM

[Alex Borodavka @AlexBoRNA]

@FrukLab @Lil2410 @cebcambridge Good fun with a great company, we’ll do this again!

[Alex Borodavka @AlexBoRNA]

@michelledigman @lfd @UCIrvine @uci_bme Congratulations, Michelle, so well-deserved!🎉

[Alex Borodavka @AlexBoRNA]

@DMuriaux It’s been such a pleasure to discuss science and catch up with friends while having lots of fun!
