It was wonderful presenting my work on plasmid host-range in Hamamatsu 🇯🇵 at #ISPB2024 🦠 🗾 The talks on stage were exciting as were the discussions in front of the posters! @PlasmidSociety

@TaylorLabGroup Thank you Tiffany!

Thrilled to have attended #Microbio24. It was wonderful meeting everyone at the talks and poster. Getting the Poster Prize was the icing on the cake. Back to reality now after a fantastic conference!

Have a #thesis to write? Want it to be pretty? Don't want to spend hours battling #LaTeX and its idiosyncrasies? I'm sharing the raw TeX of my MS thesis here, anyone who wants to can feel free to use/co-opt it :)

May be useful for #IISER & #IISc folk

In the 1970s & 80s, anthropologists working in small-scale, non-industrial societies fastidiously noted down what people were doing throughout the day. I’ve been exploring the data & am struck by one of the most popular activities: doing nothing. [thread]
