@mauleon_a Feel the doctoral spark 😁

[Sara Carreira @sciborgess]

@arubiodenniss @drDavidGlowacki @chofski Loved your pond water adventures!! Would be a great outreach activity

[Sara Carreira @sciborgess]

@jrmstrng @Pingosaurus @Spencer_D60 @magneticinsight We should have post work drinks again when pubs reopen, surely we can come up with some cool levitating soft robots idea 😝

[Sara Carreira @sciborgess]

@Pingosaurus Me too! Shamelessly milking this for my FLF application ("my work is always soooo impactful")

[Sara Carreira @sciborgess]

Exciting to see that my PhD may actually be useful for people in the real world!

[Professor Pingosaurus @Pingosaurus]

To finish the week on a high note, with @Spencer_D60, @sciborgess and @magneticinsight we’ve just been awarded an EPSRC Impact Acceleration Award to develop our protein coated magnetic nanoparticles as potential tracers for Magnetic Particle Imaging! Can’t wait to get started!

[Sara Carreira @sciborgess]

@Pingosaurus The day will come, be prepared!

[Sara Carreira @sciborgess]

@GalbanHorcajo @MSFsci Thanks guys! I really enjoyed all the talks, I can not tell you enough how much they inspired and excited me :)

[Sara Carreira @sciborgess]

Awesome second day of @MSFsci Scientific Days, all about exciting innovations! Feel inspired by their work, and impressed at how research intensive MSF are. Sketched some of today's speakers, great way to remember faces and names 😁

[Sara Carreira @sciborgess]

So proud of my colleagues ❤️

[Perriman Group @perrimangroup]

Our own @grahamday92 part of the team supporting hand sanitiser production led by @timgallagher with support from @Adam_Perriman 👏 https://t.co/9Xzuh1c8Fg

[Sara Carreira @sciborgess]

Thoroughly enjoyed @MSFsci Scientific Days today! A virtual conference so well done ��� looking forward to the Innovation sessions tomorrow. Still time to register, it's well worth it! 👇

[MSF Science @MSFsci]

MSF Scientific Days International (London) 2020 begins tomorrow! It's online, open to all and free. Register here: https://t.co/jBOwYPZuic and get ready to participate in the conversation. #MSFsci

[Under the Microscope @RealSci_Nano]

So @sciborgess and I thought - can we magnetize growth factors instead 🤔? Growth factors are proteins that can make cells produce a certain type of tissue (e.g. cartilage, bone)...if we made magnetic growth factors then we could move them and maybe build complex tissues!

[Under the Microscope @RealSci_Nano]

@sciborgess @Pingosaurus and others then magnetized cells using cationized magnetoferritin. This took just 1 minute, with the cells responding to an external magnet and detectable by MRI...check it out here in @nanoscale_rsc: https://t.co/k9uEwHyokn ... more on magnets tomorrow!

[Sara Carreira @sciborgess]

@SeanaDuggan Congratulations!!!

Just shut down all my equipment, cleaned my bench and left @CMMBristol for the last time in a while... I'm gonna miss the sight of this building! #UKlockdown #COVID19

@romygill_ I wasn't able to dm you (you don't follow me) but have a friend (not on Twitter) who's a chef and would really like to help with your fantastic project! I follow you now, so could you please dm me your email address so I can pass it on to him? Thanks :)
