After 4 wonderful years in the Race lab I am finally Dr Maddock! 🎉
Thanks to both Anna and Tony for a not-too-stressful viva. Sad to be leaving @BristolBiochem but excited for the future 👩‍🔬

Since the publication of #AlphaFold2 and #RoseTTAFold and now that the tools and models have been made accessible, there has been an avalanche of attempts to solve old crystal structures. This thread covers tips from the #PhaserTeam for doing #MR with these models. (1/...)

@BristolBiochem @IanofBristol So nice to be able to give a talk in person!

Pro tip: If you want your enzyme assays to work do not use 25 year old ATP 🤦🏻‍♀️

PGRs aren't considered 'critical workers' yet there are no mechanisms for them to be furloughed and are not receiving adequate support from @UKRI_News. Without the labour of PGRs the UK's HE research sector collapses. Still, PGRs are not receiving the support they need. 1/3

Am I reading this right? Is the suggestion really ‘have 6-12 months less work in your thesis’ rather than ‘let’s figure out a way to fund extensions’?!? That has huge, disastrous career consequences for students who will be competing for jobs against people without disruption.

Exhausted but inspired after an exciting week on the Science Entrepreneur Experience with @spinup_science! Feeling 100% more informed and equipped to enter the world of start-ups - thanks guys!

If someone had told me a year ago that my first, first author paper would involve a discussion about chicken nuggets I wouldn't have believed you. But here we are... Maddock et al ft. nugs (and also @DrNMoreau @GregsPollard @nzomics) https://t.co/sL8kn2JX0j

[Claire Noble @Claire_Noble]

And that's 2 doctors in a week! Congratulations Jack, but where's your chicken costume? 🐣

[Rosie Maddock @RosieMaddock]

@Claire_Noble You know they will be back our bay within 30 mins 😏

Lab-grown meat has been successfully cultured in #space for the first time. The Israeli food technology startup @AlephFarms grew the meat on the International Space Station, 248 miles (339 km) away from any natural resources. https://t.co/SOIjhmPJ8O #ISS #foodtech #foodsecurity

Will affordable, tasty, and easily available cultured meat become publicly accepted before the 100 year anniversary of this quote? #SynbiTECH2019

[SynbiCITE @SynbiCITE]

How many burgers do you think have an equivalent carbon footprint as a flight from Glasgow to London? Hint: it's fewer than you think! @3FBIO focusing on #sustainability in protein production at #Synbitech2019! #sustainablefood
