Abhorrent response and services from @UniOfYork in response to a trapped pigeon in a stairwell. I informed them of a trapped pigeon and a dead pigeon on Monday. Someone removed the dead pigeon that day. I check on the other today and this is what I find. Absolutely disgusting.

Word of the day is ‘spuddle’ (17th century): to work ineffectively; to be extremely busy whilst achieving absolutely nothing.

Ever had one of those days where you drop a BCA assay just before you are about to image it? I did, it was over a week ago and I am still bitter!

Had a great joint lab group meeting with one of my greatest mentors, the absolute legend Jane Thomas-Oates @ChemistryatYork today. As you can see, it was 100 % business 😂😂😂 #MassSpecJokes @YorkEnvironment

Professor Jane Thomas-Oates is a leading Analytical Scientist whose research focuses on the structural analysis of biologically-active molecules. She is the director of the Centre of Excellence in Mass Spectrometry at @UniOfYork #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2021

Biochemist joke: a biochemist is loading 24 tubes in a centrifuge, while a student looks on aghast. “What’s the problem?”, asks the biochemist. “Ufff, you’re brave”, replies the student, “you should see how much noise it makes with just one!”

We are recruiting two PhD students in York to fully funded projects in collaboration with @FujifilmDiosyn to work on improving biologic production:
One to improve biologic quality by manipulating glycosylation: https://t.co/IbXjz6TLVe

Thank you @UniOfYork @UoyEatShopDrink for the hamper and @Morrisons for putting it together. Really goes above and beyond what is expected. It has turned this dire situation into......well still a dire situation but at least we have some delicious food.

Why, why, whhhhyyyy is glycan profiling so finickity? @SimeonHubbard

@LCourthold @SimeonHubbard know anyone with a 3D printer?

The second main paper based on my PhD research was just published in @PNASNews! We report the structure of human Golgi endomannosidase, the only endo-acting mannosidase in this organelle. @ProfG101 @sjwill99 @ZaniaStamataki @ERC_Research @Diamond_MX

“Joe Biden becomes the 46th president of the United States, he will be 78 years old… the oldest president ever to take office”

BBC projects Joe Biden has secured enough electoral college votes to defeat Donald Trump
