My @bugbittentweets blog this week about the tenuous future of @veupathdb @VectorBase and the potential impact on science: blogs.biomedcentral.com/bugbitten/2024…

Love obscure football kits especially those from the Pacific!

@jeffvandermeer This artwork is gorgeous, I sure hope these covers come out in the UK! Looking forward to the new novel Jeff!

@haveigotnews ???

After promising to build houses, fix the NHS and employ more police, Keir Starmer wishes he was still on speaking terms with Jeremy Corbyn so he could borrow his magic money tree

@HarleyShah I remember seeing a lot of adverts banning WFH, both from landlords and also from the other residents on Spareroom. One even told me that he didn't want to keep the heating on during the day, so no WFH. "You can rent this room but if you spend the whole day in it I'll be so mad"

£1300, no working from home allowed even though the room has a desk? Loool

@The_Kitsman @LimavadyUtdFC @PlayrFit Check our Portstewart FC new home kit for another banger from these guys @PortstewartFC

𝙐𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙖𝙧… Playr-fit are fast becoming a favourite of ours. Here is Limavady United’s new Away shirt. 👏

@darwintreelife @SBSatEd @sangerinstitute @insectweek That's the one! As far as I understand it's dreadfully endangered, may not have even been spotted for years

@TimLittleBuzz @SBSatEd @sangerinstitute @insectweek Are we talking Botanophila fonsecai?

We asked you which insect you'd like featured for #InsectWeek and something from the family Membracidae was suggested. In the U.K., the horned treehopper is one of just two treehoppers here. We are sequencing its genome @sangerinstitute. Any more suggestions for @insectweek?

Wonderful to see our paper out in @Nature today! What happens if we experimentally challenge young healthy seronegative adult volunteers with SARS-CoV-2 and apply single cell multi-omics? Not everyone subsequently gets COVID-19! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Mere hours later, "Five people including a child have died in an attempt to cross in a small boat". "Illegal immigration minister Michael Tomlinson insists the deterrent effect will "kick in" when the flights start". Horrific. bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-p…

The stability of our water systems is at the whim of investors who demanded a forty percent increase! Thankfully it was blocked, but this is a direct, expensive impact that private investors attempted to exert over Britons for an essential service.

"The current shareholders which include UK and Canadian pension funds [and] Chinese and Gulf State investors pulled the planned £500m cash injection when Ofwat rejected proposals to raise customer bills by 40% above inflation by 2030." Is this sovereignty? bbc.co.uk/news/business-…

@MasterDuelSite I was defeated by a normal summoned Maxx "C" attack recently and I don't know if I can recover

@flygirlNHM @opwall @NHM_London Ever found any Sabethes on your adventures?

Pinning mosquitoes in my ‘lab’ (the dining room of an old warship) whilst bobbing up & down Yarapa River (just off the Amazon) at 8 at night… Mosquitoes are very fragile creatures & so get glued onto the end of points so their thoracic parts can be studied @opwall @NHM_London

@Samfr If it's on the Northern Line, it's the North

Starting to think civil service comms teams are doing this stuff on purpose to make the govt look ridiculous...

@deanbmmv @JimMFelton "There will never be any political problems with Northern Ireland ever again!" "Incredible, what an achievement" "Yeah, instead it will be Southern Ireland"

Looking for a new post-doctoral research job for a new year? Come to work with us, using structural biology to understand what makes antibodies protective against malaria. An exciting joint project with @FaithOsier and @HWardemann. my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

Absolutely delighted to share our paper published today in @SciImmunology in collaboration with @teichlab. Huge congratulations to amazing co-first authors @DrJoBarnes, @masahiroy15, @PengHeCam! Team science! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
