Not to suggest I lead a really boring life or anything but I'm still thinking about how good my new airer is

[Agnes Noy @ANoyLab]

Check our latest publication in #JACSAu @ACSPublications with @ElliotWChan and @BPSIYork where we describe how the bacterial protein HU binds DNA at atomic resolution. Thanks to @EPSRC and @N8CIR and @hecbiosim for computational resources. See more👇https://t.co/OWgl9rJpK7

When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018.

So she was first author on his key paper - in fact she's on most of his key papers, yet she didn't get the Nobel Prize, in spite of the fact they could have given 3 awards, not just 2. Explain to me how STEM is not institutionally sexist.

It is Postdoc Appreciation Week!

Recently,
1. @ElliotWChan has done a great job presenting ML/MM simulations with EMLE electrostatic embedding at the @CCPBioSim and #CMS2024 @UniofWarick conferences, when I couldn't attend.

#PostdocAppreciationWeek

[Elliot Chan @ElliotWChan]

It's been a busy couple of months, feeling very grateful to have been able to present our work at both the 10th Annual CCPBioSim conference earlier this summer and the Computational Molecular Sciences conference this week!

Starting off 2024 with exciting news that we have an open experimental PDRA position in our lab funded by my #UKRIFLF https://t.co/JuVZItzw31. We are looking for someone excited by what we do, not with specific skills - see the thread below for what we think we can offer you!

I designed an outreach activity to teach people about DNA structure and supercoiling using the medium of friendship bracelets! It went down really well, so thought I'd share the instructions for anyone interested. DM if you want the word version or any other details.

[Elliot Chan @ElliotWChan]

Really interesting seminar this afternoon by @RuedaLab about the effects of DNA supercoiling on Cas9 specificity! Nice to know I've not completely forgotten everything from my PhD already 🧬

[Davide Michieletto @Dmichiel1]

If the only limiting factor for doing this is that "it is not profitable" then we, as humanity, still don't get how bad the situation is..

Super happy to have been able to present my PhD work at #POL2023! Many thanks to the organisers for running a brill conference and for giving me this opportunity!

Proud PI today of Matt Burman presenting at the #POL2023 his amazing PhD work using all-atom simulations for supercoiling linear DNA under tension
