It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis…

Critical raw materials are vital to Scotland’s economy, supporting energy, tech, and manufacturing. Last week, we co-hosted 'Securing Critical Materials for Scotland' with @ZeroWasteScot, exploring sustainable solutions for securing these essential resources ♻️🌍 #Sustainability

Beautiful image for #EngineeringBiology of microbes and metals interacting

Was a pleasure - congratulations @EmmaMRiley

Proud supervisor of the new Dr Emma Riley @EmmaMRiley. Thanks to @lehorsfall @fi_cuskin

12 Days of impact: Day 4🎁 @ReLiBProject researchers at @EdinburghUni have developed bacteria to selectively separate the metals in the leachates generated during #LithiumIon #BatteryRecycling. ♻️ 👉 lnkd.in/gMMV4Y3d 📩 lnkd.in/eRZw6PCP

The Scottish Science Advisory Council is recruiting new and associate members. The SSAC provides independent advice to inform policy development and delivery across all areas of the Scottish Government’s work. Find out more at scottishscience.org.uk/news-blog/ssac…

Great resource for all the scientists out there who, like me, have stopped using BioRender since their recent update to the terms and conditions. bioart.niaid.nih.gov

What examples are there of synbio / engbio providing us with new to nature materials / molecules.... is there a review out there?

Proud Mamma and proud Prof today. My kids loved #BangGoesTheBorders science festival… their favourite activity - my lab’s building with bacteria! Thanks ⁦@mjcapeness and⁩ 🦠 team - you were awesome! ⁦

Kudos to @LeHorsfall & Virginia Echavarri-Bravo from @EdinburghUni for being highly commended in the @FaradayInst Community Awards! 🏆👏 Their method of using bacteria to recover metals shows great promise for sustainable battery recycling. Learn more: lnkd.in/eygVh3wy
