Gosh, I didn't know when recording this that it would become one of the last reflections on Desmond Morris's work during his lifetime. He passed away the day after it aired. The Naked Ape changed the conversation. What a legacy to leave. https://t.co/WBvg0lrptW

[Tiffany Taylor @TaylorLabGroup]

Can a book be scientifically flawed & still transform how we see ourselves? The Naked Ape is proof that connecting with your audience matters even when it ruffles academic feathers. Loved joining @Ella_AlShamahi & fellow guests to unpack this on @BBCRadio4 https://t.co/rvVXrLUuQ0

Happy #DarwinDay 🐦‍⬛🐢🪱! To celebrate, why not share a story about #evolution with a #FutureScientist? My book, Little Changes, is a fun bedtime story for young readers to explore how small changes shape the living world.

🚨 New paper led by @Jameshearsawho (feat. J Cherry & G Waugh) reveals GnT DNA motif can boost T→G mutation rates up to 1000×, & how tweaking nearby bases can fine-tune its potency.
General across bacteria + potential in synbio.

Our latest paper is now out in @MolBioEvol! In this work we show that T:A→G:C mutational hotspots in bacteria are created by short nucleotide sequences (≥8bp), which we call GnT motifs. [https://t.co/o2mrL9DodZ]. A short 🧵 below:

RptR is a new addition to the growing collection of phage defence-associated transcriptional regulators. Congrats to @YugengZ @TangLabOxford @_MarionSchuller @IvanAhelLab and thank you, it was a pleasure to help out the study! @NEBiolabs. https://t.co/tmVlGPmWEU

Very proud to have won the Faculty of Science Excellence in Doctoral Supervision Prize. Biggest thanks goes to my nominator and the awesome letters of support from current and past group members that brought a tear to my eye. It's shared with every member Taylor lab member.

Evolution Fact Friday! Did you know that you can see evolution happening in real time? Our fab PhD student @MorilloHall & fab @TaylorLabGroup have developed #Evoscope, an education package for teachers to bring the process of evolution to life in real time

The most important things to consider with biotech companies are 1. Do they have stickers? and 2. Are the stickers laptop-worthy?

Luckily I'm here to help, and have collaborated with Forge Genetics to ensure your laptops are receiving the best stickers possible

@flanagella @MicrobioSoc Your record for winning poster prizes is something else. Congratulations!

[Tiffany Taylor @TaylorLabGroup]

@scifreek @MicrobioSoc @jasminetc2000 Sorry, I went to VAAM this year (German equivalent) and couldn't manage 2 conferences back to back. Will hopefully cross paths soon!

[Tiffany Taylor @TaylorLabGroup]

Another poster not to miss @MicrobioSoc annual conference, @jasminetc2000 is presenting her first year PhD work on Determining the regulation of the MADS defence system #Microbio25

[Tiffany Taylor @TaylorLabGroup]

If you're at @MicrobioSoc annual conference, go find Maryam Ravari who is presenting her work on mechanisms of biocide tolerance un Proteus mirabilis! #Microbio25

[Tiffany Taylor @TaylorLabGroup]

Wonderful time catching up with old friends and making new @VAAM_Microbes. Thanks to Susanne for the invitation to open the Evolution of Regulation session. Lots of great science (and 🥨 and🍺).

[Giuseppina Mariano @GiusyM1990]

Love phage-bacteria interactions, anti-phage systems, and a sprinkle of evolutionary biology? There’s still time to apply and join our team in Glasgow at @UofGSii !

[Tiffany Taylor @TaylorLabGroup]

Happy New Year! We're off to a great start in our lab as we welcome @wuzeichuan to the group. Yueyi will be working on understanding how layered bacterial defence systems are regulated. She will join the brilliant @Multi_Defence team. Welcome!
