BBSRC sLoLa unlocking the secrets of specialised ribosomes across eukaryotes
Check out our latest work in ACS Nano: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… We measured the digestion speed of endonucleases and CRISPR-Cas9 using a solid-state glass nanopore (nanopipette). Quick details below (open access!):

Now it's your turn! Join @ThomsonRNALab and artist Chris Jarratt TOMORROW to make your own ribosome wind garden. 🗓️ Sept 28, 13:00-15:00 @ Sheffield Winter Garden @FestivalMind
Excited to join @ThomsonRNALab and artist Chris Jarratt at the Spiegeltent shortly to hear about their collaboration on the ribosome wind garden!
The Spiegeltent is up! Our first day of talks and performances will soon be on their way! If you're in Sheffield city centre today, pop along and check out what's on show. #FOTM2024
📢The wait is over! The Ribosome Wind Garden is on display NOW at Sheffield's Winter Garden. Check out this exciting collaboration between @ThomsonRNALab and local artist Chris Jarratt. 📅 Today until 29th Sept More info: bit.ly/4dYcbqM

Today Tiffany and Nan from the Leeds team showcased some of RiboCode's outreach materials at the @ScienceLeeds Faculty Research Celebration. A brilliant day celebrating the inspiring science and innovation happening across FBS. Thanks for inviting us!
Just over a week to go until the Ribosome Wind Garden pops up in Sheffield's Winter Garden 👀
Our bodies are full of proteins, but how are they made? See how we utilised kinetic sculptures in a wind garden to visualise how ribosomes translate genetic information into proteins. Learn more: bit.ly/4dYcbqM #FOTM2024

Translation UK 2024 has kicked off! We started the conference with Keynote Speaker Julie Aspden, delivering her talk on 'Unlocking the secrets of specialised ribosomes across eukaryotes'.
Delighted to share our new pre-print on translational activity of 80S monosomes. @AlbertBlandy @EltonVasconcel8 @AmyTurn67763683 @LabFontana @MichaelaAgapiou Thanks to @BBSRC and @wellcometrust. Great for this work to benefit from @RiboCode team input biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Happily, 76% visitors left stating that they knew how proteins were made (vs 9% beforehand)🎉 Thanks to all who volunteered on the stall and to the #BeCurious team for their hard work in putting on such a brilliant festival! @ScienceLeeds #community #publicengagement (2/2)
We had a great time @BeCuriousLeeds this weekend! ~180 budding scientists visited our stall, matching up custom-made base pairs and using our ribosome wheel to turn their code into a (key)chain of amino acids. @ScienceLeeds @UniversityLeeds #publicengagement #ribosomes (1/2)
We're set up and ready to go for @BeCuriousLeeds tomorrow! Come and join us in Michael Sadler LG 15 10:00-16:00, and discover lots of other brilliant stalls across @UniversityLeeds The first hour will be a designated 'quiet hour'. @ScienceLeeds #ribosomes
Looking for something fun to do with your kids this Saturday 18th May? Come to the University of Leeds for our annual science research festival. Loads of great activities around the research happening here. @BeCuriousLeeds @RiboCode @LabFontana @ScienceLeeds
Be Curious, the University’s family open day is back on Sat 18 May 🌟 Join us and get hands on with the research that happens here at Leeds, as campus transforms into a hive of family-friendly activities. See the full programme and book your tickets👇 leeds.ac.uk/becurious
