Our latest paper is out now in @J_A_C_S. In this study we tried to push the limits of #electrochemistry beyond proteins, to studying entire pathways of biological electron transfer ⚡️🦠. Here's a summary 🧵 (1/10)

A paper published in @CurrentBiology by Alberto Scarampi and colleagues in @CJHoweLab adds significantly to our understanding of bacterial evolution by showing how #cyanobacteria can rapidly develop resistance to a #herbicide. Read more: https://t.co/RhnPrR3WHE

A summary from Josh on our latest work on making music with algae!

[Josh Lawrence @JMLawrence_]

Here's something a little different to our usual research. In our new perspective out now in Applied Phycology (@bps_algae), we describe how you can use the electrical signals of algae to generate music 🦠⚡️🎵. 🧵1/12

Thanks so much to the @ColloidsGroup for selecting me for this award!

Congrats to our PhD student Darius for winning a poster prize at the European Congress for Photosynthesis Research!

My week @2024_ePS2 in Padova is coming to an end, a week with cool science, good food and fascinating people in a beautiful city. I really enjoyed giving a talk and connecting with people! Receiving one of the poster prizes was the cherry on the top. Thanks to all the organisers!

[Darius Kosmützky @kos_darius]

I’m having a fun time @2024_ePS2 in Padova, speaking about photosynthesis and my soon-to-be-done PhD project on cytochrome c6A. Just before I got to explore the botanic garden as well and here’s a cool tree for you to admire 🌳

Here is a preprint of a cyanobacteria and light-activated extracellular electron transfer (exoelectrogenesis) story from my PhD. Removing the exopolysaccharides around the cells increased the photo-current we could harvest from them ☀️🟢⚡️

As a tradition in the Howe Lab we have a day out at least once a year (aka ‘lab jolly‘). Today, we visited the historic and pretty #FramlinghamCastle (managed by @EnglishHeritage) and refuelled with food and local ales after!

[Howe Lab @CJHoweLab]

Great #PlastidPreview conference at @NewCollegeOx, Oxford! The Howe lab delegation enjoyed the science and hospitality (see our group picture under the famous Harry Potter tree!)
Special congrats to @bartosz_witek for winning a poster prize!

[Darius Kosmützky @kos_darius]

Oxford really outdid itself to welcome us for #PlastidPreview 2023! Beautiful sunshine, beautiful @NewCollegeOx and beautiful science. I had fun presenting my project and wanted to thank the organisers @janirbolla @PaulJarvisLab!

Photosynthetic electron transport chains can be 'rewired' for solar-powered electricity and chemical production. Check out our @natrevbioeng review for insights into this exciting research field ☀️🌱⚡️🧪 #Photosynthesis #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability

Close to the end of my exciting time in @PhotoMicrobes group @UniTurku, it was great to present my work on cytochrome c6A and its evolution at the Plant Unit Seminar.
I’m usually a bit nervous before giving talks but during, I realise it’s one of the most fun parts of the job!

[Laura T. Wey @lauratwey]

How early can we steal electrons from photosynthesis for renewables applications? Our work on ultrafast spectroscopy and electrochemistry is out now in @Nature. Here’s a summary of our findings … 1/12
