@Lis_Lowe I hear you! I have literally made a list of things I have to do before I can look at anymore IC-MS data 😂

[Lucy Crouch-Myers @LucyICM]

PhD applications are still open for this project on C. perfringens and how it uses different glycans. It's been a bit difficult to apply, but I've posted the exact link below now. If there are any students interested in enzymes/microbes/glycobiology then please pass this on

@Lis_Lowe @ZaminIqbal @thecopperdoctor @lizzyjanejames @DrPaulJamesUK Oh fantastic! I have plenty of photos of Louis 🐶

When you didn’t go to the conference with all your mates… but you did fix the MS!

[Lis Lowe👩🏼‍🔬 @Lis_Lowe]

Early stage PhD students - when your supervisor reassures you in the first year or so that all your data will come together in the end and you'll get more in the last 6 months than the previous 3 years altogether; trust us! Learning science isn't linear.💜

@Lis_Lowe @chrashwood With IC you need to take the good with the bad, but this system seems to be unusually cursed.

We have a funded PhD project in the lab in September! Joint with P&G, with time in their research labs too & a mini MBA. We will be looking for and characterising new glycoprotease enzymes #glycotime https://t.co/iJUToK4xqa

‘By learning what symptoms to look out for, we can better support each other.’ 💙

Ivan Toney, Kyle Walker, and Jarrad Branthwaite get a first-hand glimpse of some of the many physical challenges people living with dementia face.

🧵ON PERIODS:
At @cosmicshambles #NineCarols on Sat, I talked about how we are neglecting women's pain & bleeding.

The continuing stigma and silence around periods is pathetic, wrong, devastating for women and economically nonsensical.

Some facts. 1/23

We're looking for a Research Associate to join our new @IMIBirmingham team! Note, this is not a postdoc role; instead, we're seeking someone with a strong background in #microbiology & #microbiome research to support our team in a senior tech capacity 👇🦠
