We have two available PhD studentships in the area of Biopharmaceuticals for starting October 2025. Projects are collaborative between @StrathScience and @GSK. Full details within the image and at https://t.co/MjROTV2qLK

Three of my favorite papers published this week:
1. A mechanism for bacteria to create *new* repetitive toxic genes to kill themselves in response to infection (!!)
Last spring I gave a workshop on Data Cleaning for Data Sharing Using R where we learned how to assess the quality of a dataset and apply a standardized checklist of cleaning steps in #rstats.
The slides and exercise materials are here if interested!
