Huge congratulations to my PhD student George Ferguson on passing his VIVA! 🎓 His work uncovers how molecules interact with DNA, offering fresh insight into cancer-related processes and drug design. Proud of this milestone — well done, George! 👏 @SCCESurrey@QB_DTC
Great to see some of our 2024 @LeverhulmeTrust - supported Quantum Biology Doctoral Training Centre students at @UniSurreyBioSci graduating this year (from left to right) Michael Clark-Whittet, Federico Bertagna and Eve Nery. Congratulations to each of them!
Congratulations (!!) to our latest QB-DTC graduate, Dr Cedric Vallee pictured here with his supervisor, Becky Lewis and examiners Kamalan Jeevaratnam (int) and Prof Phil Biggin, U. of Oxford (ext). Cedric already published some of his ion channel research

Key compounds that could support alien microbes or help life emerge have been detected in the enormous plume of water that erupts from vents in Enceladus’ icy shell. https://t.co/ByrJXdX0kJ
A paper in @NatureElectron reports a hybrid computing system, called Brainoware, consisting of electronic hardware and a brain organoid, which can perform tasks such as speech recognition and nonlinear equation prediction. https://t.co/mvPd28RQom
Inspired by the structure of polar bear fur, researchers in Science present a knittable aerogel fiber with exceptional thermal and mechanical properties.
The fibers are washable, dyeable, durable, and well-suited to be used in advanced textiles. https://t.co/im18w0icRn
Nice piece in @guardian on the Big Ring, a giant circle of galaxy clusters more than a billion lightyears across, discovered by @missalexialopez. No structure should be that big. Is it forcing us to rethink the structure and evolution of the universe?
When anthopologist Meredith Small stumbled across a huge and stunningly beautiful map in a corner of a Venice museum a few years ago, she didn't realise just how important an object she had set eye on 👇 https://t.co/AErDRAtPWi
Research in biological physics often requires collaboration across different fields. This Focus issue from @NaturePhysics celebrates the benefits and discusses the challenges of multidisciplinarity. https://t.co/MUW7jJxSuh
Researchers have created the largest atlas of human brain cells so far, revealing more than 3,000 cell types — many of which are new to science https://t.co/IndMKmLlrk
Nice to see my recent NYAcadSci paper on the Bayesian roots of Occam's razor in science is already referenced in this excellent free online course on Bayesian inference by Eric-Jan Wagenmakers https://t.co/QvnzrVj79U
