I've signed. Rishi Sunak said this week that "nobody wants a general election". Well it seems that more than 110,000 people do so far. If you'd like to, then add your signature here ⏬️ to CALL AN IMMEDIATE GENERAL ELECTION And RT🙏🏼👍🏼 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6419…

@larkylass1982 No probs. If you need any more advice nearer the time then just ask.

@larkylass1982 Yes, did it in August. Main thing is not to underestimate it. Toughest walking I've done, in very boggy conditions. Plan for it to take longer than you think. And take a GPS, if just for occasional grid refs. But it was awesome!

@daniela_barilla @IAlnaqshabandy @mjplevin @BiologyatYork @UniOfYork Fabulous! Congrats Iman!

And finally the official #GraduationDay! Congratulations to Iman @IAlnaqshabandy on her PhD! 🍾🎉🎊Great to meet again after two years and share memories of the good old days and plans for the future. @mjplevin & I are #ProudSupervisors. @BiologyatYork @UniOfYork #AdMaioraSemper

@daniela_barilla @BiologyatYork @mjplevin @insanity_one Of course, thanks to everyone else in the UoY Department of Biology who has supported/assisted/befriended/aquaintanced me over the years. Too many to mention on Twitter! 🙏

@daniela_barilla @BiologyatYork @mjplevin @insanity_one Thank you all for the kind words. A tough journey indeed, although that feels somewhat insensitive given current🌍events. Thanks to Michael Plevin & Nick Robinson for examining, James C & Paul P. Mostly, thanks to Daniela, without whom I could not have made it to journey's end.

Congratulations to @JohnArmst for passing his PhD viva and reaching the end of a long journey @BiologyatYork 🥂🍾👏🍻🏆! Heartfelt thanks 🙏 to the examiners Nick Robinson & @mjplevin . Well done, John, @insanity_one and I are proud. Onwards & Upwards! 🥂

@insanity_one @amekan_y @BiologyatYork @UniOfYork Fantastic stuff Micky!!

Congratulations to Dr Yumechris Amekan for passing his PhD viva with no corrections!! Well done Micky!! @amekan_y @BiologyatYork @UniOfYork

@Debunk_the_Funk @allangmiller1 It also seems to me that Figure 3 shows opposite to what they claim? Negative control also shows increased LINE expression levels at last time point, and so not a result of induction by vaccine. Unless I've read it wrong.

@allangmiller1 It wouldn’t, LINE1 is selective for its own genetic sequence but it is not exclusive, so it would target several different molecules. For their in-vitro experiment, they provide a ton of BNT162b2 construct for LINE1 to interact with. They’re basically forcing the result they want

When Peter deleted his tweet from the other day about this topic, I thought for a second that maybe he had a moment of realization and humility. Turns out that no, no he did not. He’s still entirely wrong about this. twitter.com/enirenberg/sta…

@RealBobMortimer Can I just say, I live in York and I have NOT read this book. Though I'd like to. John (York).

I can't believe @UniOfYork told all funded PhD students they could have 6 months funded extensions and then took it away! 😡

@JamesTaylor_com #WashWithJames #JamesTaylor #JT Here's my attempt 'You can wash your hands' Stay safe everyone.

Fantastic talk yesterday by @azhar_ka on chromosome segregation mechanisms in the archaeon Sulfolobus. #micronewcastle

Simply uplifting. An example to follow @UniOfYork?

After 39 years of life I've only just realised what Ray-Ban means! Incredible!

@RichardDawkins Raymond Chandler penned some crackers in the Philip Marlowe books, which are fantastic by the way. "It was a blonde. A blonde that could make a Bishop kick a hole in a stained glass window."

The love of language. And the genius of PG Wodehouse: “I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” “He had the appearance of one who has searched for the leak in life's gas-pipe with a lighted candle.” More here: bit.ly/2w5vKtu

@DamienDuddridge Rock and roll brother!

@Metallica #BlackenedFriday

@StephenKing how many Dark Tower films will there be? Can't wait.

@herdyshepherd1 just finished reading your book The Shepherd's Life James. Thought it was great, really enjoyed it.

@Sc1enceb00kClub Thanks for the update on next term's book. I can't wait to leaf through it.
