@MarinaPurkiss About time Elly deletes Trumpy's X account

He’s going to try and deport him, isn’t he?

So, its quite humbling when a great colleague and good friend stands by their principles and walks away from a job – with nothing to go to – because of the chaotic, reckless restructuring proposed by the leadership team.

Congratulations to our PhD student Hannah Doherty (@Hannahmayydwon) for winning the LES Michael O’Rourke Best Publication Award for her article ‘ChemGAPP: A tool for Chemical Genomics Analysis and Phenotypic Profiling’ published in Bioinformatics. @UoBbiosciences

@dchughes62 Don't bother with the film!

Currently reading the Snowpiercer graphic novels. Almost as dystopian as the 2019 Tory election manifesto....

Chris Bryant shreds Rishi Sunak. 6.5 minutes long. Watch all of it in utter shock. This is our PM. How our nation has fallen 🫤

@pmoyniha Indeed - not sure what it says about the strategic minds of UoB

I have a lot of thoughts about Manu leaving, most of which I can’t say here. He’s going to be missed. Fortunately we have many projects, and a deep friendship, that will survive the move.

This has been long in the planning but delighted the Primers have been launched - thanks to Steve Diggle for leading on these. Great that first one is from Georgina Lloyd & former #MicrobioJ EiC Chris Thomas from @IMIBirmingham #publishingforthecommunity

Outstanding podcast on the coronavirus gain-of-function research in Wuhan that likely caused the COVID-19 pandemic. Highly recommended. If you can listen to just one podcast on the origin of COVID-19, make it this one.

Toxic cultures exploit generosity. Takers impose extra work on givers, and no good deed goes unpunished. Healthy cultures reward generosity. People protect givers from takers, and cream rises to the top. Helpfulness is not a weakness to target. It's a strength to safeguard.

I am really pleased to share something that @Lis_Lowe and my groups and some of our friends have been working on. Headline: We've identified the first mycobacterial endo-D-arabinanases. We've also found some new exo-D-arabinofuranosidases. Paper here:biorxiv.org/content/10.110…🧵

@pmoyniha @sciliz 'its ok they're nice' is what I say when I'm out with my kids! Who knows what they'll do - I try to keep them under control

@sciliz "It's ok they're nice" is one of my most feared phrases when I'm out walking my dog. He is pretty timid, and does not respond well when other people's dogs run up uncontrolled. Makes me crazy.

Super cool paper from @RhoyStarkiller @jrpenades and @joncoopervp on PICIs as diagnostics - congratulations all!

Congrats to former lab member @ThroatyCypress whose PhD work was published today as back to back papers in @MicrobioSoc journal #MicrobioJ 👏👏👏 doi.org/10.1099/mic.0.… doi.org/10.1099/mic.0.…

Check out these two recent papers from @GraingerLab on Salmonella Typhimurium, published back-to-back in #MicrobioJ doi.org/10.1099/mic.0.…

@dchughes62 Noooooo!!!! That's why we have extensive measures in place to prevent such a thing happening here...

Some will understand the pain of this bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-… @DaveScientist

When you're trying to remember (and it's a long time ago) when a policy/procedure change wasn't completely crazy.
