I got to experience what it’s like to train like an astronaut for 3 days and learnt a tremendous amount from the trainers, experts and my peers. Thank you @usunvie and @unoosa for selecting me to be a part of the Young Professionals Space exchange programme. Next stop DC!

We explored a range of formats for deploying #cell_free systems in low-resource & extreme environments. Then used a #design_of_experiments approach to improve the stability of our in-house system, extending its shelf-life from less than 1 week to over a month at room temperature.

The work that kept me busy during my PhD is finally out! Grateful for all the support along the way, particularly to mentors Phil Williams and Valentine Anyanwu.

At the @BiochemSoc’s glycoscience meeting this week, where I will be charing the ‘glycans in biotechnology’ session tomorrow and presenting some preliminary work from my postdoctoral project(s). Fantastic location and very interesting conversations already!

[Tejasvi Shivakumar @TejShivakumar]

I have the pleasure of spending the week in Brazil, learning about the healthcare needs of Indigenous Peoples in Amazonia. Looking forward to sharing how synthetic biology can help in this beautiful part of the world!

What a lovely sight from CENTRAL LONDON!! Only wish I was somewhere with a dark sky..

[Li Shean Toh @LiSheanToh]

I hope that despite my nervous demeanour in the video, my hopes and message for future generations to continue with curiosity to explore space especially in healthcare is clear. Thanks to all the official and unofficial supporters for this! @esa @spacegovuk @UKSEDS @UK_SpaceLABS

A great #blackhistorymonth workshop -
thought provoking discussions were had and productive ideas were generated, that will hopefully result in appropriate interventions in the workplace.

[Imperial ChemEng @ImperialChemEng]

We wrapped up #BlackHistoryMonth with an engaging & interactive staff workshop, facilitated by former student now brand manager Akachukwu Ifeobu.

Thought-provoking insights by all those in attendance gave plenty of food for thought 🙌

😍History in the making!

Congratulations to @suryauniversity & all Indonesians🇮🇩 for successfully deploying the country’s 1st student CubeSat #SS1🛰️. Exciting mission ahead of us!

Thanks @JAXA_en for helping us bring the benefits of space to everyone!

Geminids #Meteorshower put on a terrific show yesterday night - a beautifully clear sky night feat. #orion, bright planets and even a moonlight-shielding tree!

[Dr Maggie Lieu @Space_Mog]

Great job @TejShivakumar and co! Doing @UoNPressOffice proud! https://t.co/ohmaAho8jY

Fabulous opportunity from @esa for @astropharmacy @UoN_Pharmacy @UoNEngineering @TejShivakumar

[European Space Agency @esa]

Meet ESA's class of 2022 astronauts 👇 #ESAastro2022

[Tejasvi Shivakumar @TejShivakumar]

Great to see my fellow @astropharmacy colleague’s progress over the course of our PhDs! Looking forward to giving my talk in a few weeks 🧬

ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti will soon fulfil the role of commander of the International Space Station.

@AstroSamantha will be the fifth European, and the first European female, to do so.

[Keith Siew @KeithSiew]

Great talk about @astropharmacy by @TejShivakumar @MacaJGreen at #ELGRA2022 @ELGRA_space. Very exciting to see how we could manufacture a myriad of drugs in cell-free bioreactors with just a plasmid! (Also loved the factoid that the geologist ended up being allergic to moondust!)

[Tejasvi Shivakumar @TejShivakumar]

Thanks to @usunvie, we had some insightful #spacepolicy meetings with the National Space Council that culminated in a special tour of the #WhiteHouse

Also had fun finding fossils on the floor tiles and eating chocolates signed by the President himself!

#Webb has captured new images of #Jupiter! The new observations feature visible auroras that extend to high altitudes above Jupiter's northern and southern poles. Explore the new images here: https://t.co/mn366GZ6BQ
