[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

“Ten years ago I was kicked out and forced to retire.”

Our new medicine laureate Katalin Karikó (@kkariko) told us how much it means to be awarded the Nobel Prize after a scientific career that has been full of challenges.

Ten years ago, Karikó was still doing all her experiments by hand but today she has been awarded the medicine prize for her research on mRNA, which led to the development of COVID-19 vaccines.

Listen now:

It was great to see SynBioCDT alumni gather for our annual event! We had talks from @MunaFuyal @OanaPelea and Kyle Grant @oxwash followed by dinner at @WorcCollegeOx. See you again next year!

Also thanks to @BiochemSoc for providing me with the travel grant.

How to start first in person conference of PhD?
Visiting the caves obviously!

Finished two days of Synthetic Biology UK conference listening to amazing SynBio researches and meeting fantastic people. It felt good to interact and get feedbacks from people in real time.

If you have easy access to vaccine and are in position to donate, do consider donating to GAVI and Covax. For many in rest of the world, that is the only means of getting vaccinated. #GetOneGiveOne https://t.co/fVnIet0Dd6

Today I received first dose of Pfizer vaccine and felt incredibly privileged to be on this side of the world. While Covid19 is wreaking havoc at home and rest of the world, celebration of vaccine and ease of lockdown hasn't come naturally.

Majority Prime minister dissolving parliament and declaring election with complete disregard of people’s vote, lives and the cost of carrying out an election in the middle of a pandemic! What a joke!

A reminder to @PM_Nepal @kpsharmaoli . The 2017 federal and provincial election cost Ra 6221 crores, around 620 million USD ( source EOC- Nepal). How dare you put the nation in this position again when people are suffering so!

[Muna Fuyal @MunaFuyal]

2.5 years of PhD research (if there aren't further lockdowns) with labs not running full capacity yet. Kind of worried how this is going to affect judgement of our PhD outcome in future.

[UK Research and Innovation @UKRI_News]

We are therefore advising all students funded by UKRI, including those on grants from any of the seven research councils, to speak to their supervisors about how to adjust their project to complete a doctoral-level qualification within their funded period. https://t.co/BnU6OvVe1t

@SynBioOxford @Irina__Borodina @goonerrn , @mainalyprashant If you have time, give a listen to her. She is an excellent presenter and has scaled up research from lab to production with a startup biotech company.

@MarleneLRothe Thanks Marlene!

Amidst the chaos of 2020, here is the preprint of our work at James lab. We used light controllable receptors to show how the modulation of intensity and duration of receptor signal can be used to control signal transduction and gene expression in T cells. https://t.co/gnIEJ8He8Y

@benhardybristol Thanks Ben!

Government that cannot communicate the risk of mass gathering to its people while the number of new cases are reaching new high everyday and its people who have not yet grasped that their lives are at stake against pandemic now not their faith against the government.
Worrying!

People, it's not that difficult to be anti-racist and anti-casteist. (1/7)
