Never imagined being published in the Journal of #Arachnid Science but hey, #dreamscancometrue thanks to our fab Aussie collab @SeanBlamires & @PLuSalliance - this is a review for spidey peops on recombinant protein production... frontiersin.org/journals/arach…
Roll up, roll up, this is going to be fabulous:

Sharing current @OxUniPress discount codes (including 50% off the audio book just till the end of today) for this incredible book about #eclipses edited & partially written by the late @mcleish_t & Henrike Lange & reviewed by me @NaturePhysics nature.com/articles/s4156…

Each time we have a planning meeting for our event (12-13 Nov) I get all excited about it-our amazing sponsors are now listed & participants can bring protein samples-only a few spots left & it's still possible to submit abstracts-join us in Nottingham! eventsforce.net/biochemsoc/fro…
Recent msg from someone in our lab (quoted with permission): 'Is it bad I'm actually really excited about a fraction collector? 😂' I'm not judging... Love our group - geekdom rules!
AlphaFold allows scientists to start “asking different questions and potentially opening up whole new areas of research” 🧠 Prof @rli22 on how the recent Nobel Prize winner changed her field and collaboration between scientists and AI in @FT 🏆 loom.ly/ndB-vLI
I also provided some comments about #AlphaFold to @SMC_London (also first time doing that) and got picked up by @FT which I don't generally read but lots of friends sent me pics of it #fameatlast ft.com/content/9e8d90…
Excitingly I was asked to write for #TheConversation (my first time) about the Nobel in chemistry! The whole way I got to be a #betatester was from being on @Ri_Science Xmas lectures! #dominoeffect theconversation.com/i-was-a-beta-t… via @ConversationUK
A quick plug for this show which I saw last night @Rob_Madge_02 was absolutely brilliant, having learned a bazillion lines and doing the best facial expressions - the show is mad, funny & touching - I'm not sure if this is the last week - but do go see it!
Don't just take our word for it. Buyer & Cellar is a hilarious love letter to the iconic Barbra Streisand that is "masterfully acted and sensationally written" - All That Dazzles @Rob_Madge_02, @KingsHeadThtr, @TRPlymouth,@ryanhughmackey @NewFrameProds

Was too engrossed to tweet but have just had excellent 3 days in #Colchester @BiochemSoc Protein Dynamics & Transient Interactions. Wonderful friendly conf-awesome ideas to access macromolecular dynamic info. Great catching up w old friends & making new. Congrats 2 organisers!

Think this was possibly my favourite gig of all time thus far-glorious women's harmonies-epic @dawnlandes surprise dream bonus @JackieKayPoet & a total privilege to see & hear the great @PeggySeeger in the flesh! #moveonover barbican.org.uk/whats-on/2024/…

Just one week left till our earlybird deadline-places filling up-please send your newbie protein-makers to us-we will have a great time and learn lots about how to design, produce and optimise #recombinant #proteins-please RT to spread the word @BiochemSoc @ccpnmr @ccp4_mx

Love these thoughtful tweets - here's the work of my fabulous office roomie, Becca, getting a well-deserved shout-out:
For the second highlight of the day we move beyond iron to nickel, with the great science of @musgravelab at KCL. Their recent work on mixed valent nickel clusters published in JACS is outstanding. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
Still in maelstrom mind from @IrisMurdoch conf, had a quick lovely night w the fam before catching an early @LNER to #Durham this morn to celebrate the incredible Tom McLeish. Sorry to miss the first morning's talks but excited to see you all soon...
Shout out to our excellent #Chichester #walking #tourguide Sheila-a mine of info, wry sense of humour, former school teacher in Bangkok, who grew up a few doors down from where I grew up in Salford, albeit a generation earlier! Fab insights into this picturesque city...
