My youngest is a magnet for ticks so helping him understand what to look for is really important. As for the oldest, never had a tick, but he did lend his beautiful voice to this amazing animation 🥰. Such an amazing example of engagement done right

[Lyme Resource Centre @LymeResourceCtr]

We are delighted to launch our new tick awareness animation aimed at younger children (aged 5-11)

The animation aims to enable younger children to be their own advocates and stay safe whilst enjoying the outdoors!

@RingGo_parking contacting you is a nightmare! Can you explain to me why my parking permit (which I have had for 4 years) was turned down due to ‘name differences’ when I included my marriage certificate?!? Please advise how I can rectify this *today* as parking is astronomical

In this paper we demonstrate that negative sense RNA virus Bunyamwera has a negative impact on Wolbachia density in Ae. aegypti mosquitoes. Thanks to everyone involved, especially @stephmrainey!

I can’t recommend this enough. Apply for this PhD program for working with @serdelor in Trieste, Italy. You won’t regret it! ⬇️

This is the end of the world as we know it, if this is reproducible! The new era of functional modeling has begun. I took a transcription factor with an unknown structure and folded it with its recognition sequence embedded in longer DNA. AlphaFold3 accurately positioned the transcription factor.

Only last month we celebrated inauguration of Dr @GhassanAbuSitt1 as @UofGlasgow Rector. Now he's being prevented from entering other European countries to speak on situation in Palestine. @David_Cameron you must speak out on our citizens & #TeamUofG being treated this way.
