Glad to see our latest work has been published by the newly established RSC journal, Digital Discovery.

A deep learning model for type II polyketide natural product prediction without sequence alignment - now published in Digital Discovery https://t.co/ALQ1CfU7yB

We love this animation from @MinuteEarth showing a clever method that BBSRC-funded researchers are using to hunt for new antibiotics🦠

What even are superbugs and why should we care?

Here's a thread with some weekend reading in the form of a comic by @eliza_coli and me! Have fun with Spiral! (1/10) #scienceart #sciencecomic #scicomm #AcademicChatter

[Lorena Fernández @lore_fermar]

@LizahvdAart Thanks so much for coming! It was a fab workshop and students (and staff) learnt soooo much whilst having fun!😊
