A postdoc @NTDs_research. If you have time, please send puns.

I love the new batches of students.

Yesterday, after trying and failing to get a computer to take decent microscopy photos, mine said:

“This computer’s also powered by potatoes. Just like all the others in this place.”

Nothing has summed up #academia so well in so long.

I don’t know about you but Phosphotungstic acid sounds like a Haribo to me.

If you’ve heard of hand models, get ready to meet your first handle model.
This was the photo our lab manager decided to send to a company to fix our cryostat’s handle brake 😂

This is my life now.

I drew this video! It’s so fun to rewatch months later 🥹🥲

We've been talking a lot about base editing, a remarkable research breakthrough for cancer treatment. But what does it do? And how can help it help more children like 13-year-old Alyssa?

T’was a good’n 🧬

[Developmental Biology & Cancer @DBC_ICH]

A massive well done to all our presenters today, especially our winners, Tina Karapouliou, @GideonPomeranz, @domscaglioni, @_LaurenRussell_ and Tarek Saleh!

An excellent feat and brilliant research!

(And a pat on the back for our DBC ECRC team!)

[Developmental Biology & Cancer @DBC_ICH]

This year’s co-chairs, Enzo Giardina and Will Mason, of the DBC’s Early Career Research Committee are up bright and early to set things up for today’s events!

[Developmental Biology & Cancer @DBC_ICH]

We’re looking forward to seeing you all at today’s DBC Symposium and Otto Wolff lecture, either in person or online!

@theAliceRoberts For a moment, I thought the falcon was called Lloyd and he told you the legends of his people 😅 can’t say I’m not a little disappointed

Here's my latest #PressRelease about the mind-blowing work of Dr Ajmal Zemmar and colleagues about what happens in our #brain when we die: https://t.co/pALYgqLBOP

Here's an article I wrote based on new research by scientists in France who study why #music can give us the chills!

@TheHazelHayes True :) acceptance of an unsure future does help! One way to think is, when you worry/grieve about something that might happen, when it happens, you’ve grieved twice as opposed to just the one time after. Don’t let that thing win: don’t spend your lifetime grieving twice.

@trishgreenhalgh If anything the negative responses are supporting your hypothesis: ‘For successful uptake, face coverings need to be grounded in the social and cultural realities of affected communities.’ Keep going & well done to your PhD students!

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

If you haven’t got the grades you needed today it’s disappointing, stressful and maybe unfair. I didn’t get the grades I needed. I re-applied at 23 and Manchester let me in. I know all Universities will try to help you, but if it doesn’t work out there will be other chances.

When your lecturer puts an image of a random cell doing a thing on their PowerPoint slide with no descriptive text or citation, but says it will be on your final exam.

googling is such a specific skill that's so much more than typing words into a search bar. you must give yourself over entirely to The Metadata. come—describe an object you dreamed—I will find a link for you to purchase it using only reverse image search & one drop of your blood

[Maryam Clark, PhD @MaryamCClark]

Sounds like an average day in the lab tbh 😂

Don't ask why I have Julie Andrew's arms attached to my ears ....

What an extremely beautiful sight in the sky this morning, a crescent planet Venus and a crescent Moon. This was truly an amazing sight to watch. Video will follow later.

Whether or not you think Brexit will be good for the UK in the long term (I do not), I think it’s now beyond doubt that it was the proximate cause of the dumbing down of the Conservative Party which in turn contributed to the disasterous health and economic outcomes of Covid-19.
