@AndyLycett Broadband fibre?

Anyone have any idea what wire this is? Will it kill me if I move it (it’s across our drive) I assume telephone? Thanks in advance

Any podcast or audiobook recommendations greatly received. New job involves a lot of time in a vehicle or on a train. Running out of stuff very quickly.

@AndyLycett chipping forecast

@rmwaterhouse That’s a dietary shift

Molecular evolution of dietary shifts in ladybirds 🐞 expansions of digestive & detoxifying #gene families in the herbivorous ladybirds, & absence of most plant cell wall-degrading enzymes in the ladybirds from the transition to carnivory link.springer.com/article/10.118…

Great speaker. Great topic. Great opportunity.

@AndyLycett deferred gratification. get stuck in early.

Bite 3 of a sandwich is the best bite. It’s the only one that doesn’t involve any crust and has the most filling. Correct?

Glad this is finally out. Using pharmacokinetic modeling we show that #nitisinone, an FDA-approved drug 4 #Tyrosinemia & #Alkaptonuria, kills #Anopheles mosquitoes, outperforming #Ivermectin. Grateful to all primary author’s & fantastic collaborators! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I have a strong personal and vested interest in this one. Please give it a look! linkedin.com/jobs/view/4158…

@AndyLycett early to wear that stuff, 3 weeks yet

Pulling out all the stops…lucky pants…lucky shirt. I’m clucking like a junkie here. Just get to 8pm ffs #AVLCHE

@AndyLycett Think it was Jupiter. Venus was the other bright one about 90 degrees away.

Is that Venus under the moon?

@AndyLycett It’s twitter innit

@LSTM_VectorGene Only by a year. Allegedly as in they didn’t or the amount of memory?

Of all the technological wows that have happened in my lifetime, the iPod is right up there.

Great. But to be clear @NIH @NIAIDNews @NIHDirector turned their collective backs on this globally important resource and now we are left to pick up the pieces by holding bake sales / car washes to keep it live. The precarity of this critical resource is still huge.

pay attention please, all of those who have done functional genomics courses with me and @pamcafrica and @TReNDinAfrica - if you have significant genomics experience then these are a great opportunity for you

@AndyLycett put the 13th as the registration date anyway

Got to come into work tomorrow because 3 separate people didn’t want to pick up their new car on Friday 13th. Would you?

Only 5 more days! Every morning I am reminded that ⁦@VectorBase⁩ is going away! ⁦@NIAIDFunding⁩ what were you thinking?!? ⁦This resource is critical to so many research labs. MUVE_ESA⁩ ⁦@ACME_ASTMH⁩

Anopheles #funestus🦟 is a significant #malaria carrier in #Africa. @CharlMQuinn, @TonahN, and I at @LSTMvector, are developing genetic tools to target this species to understand insecticide resistance. tinyurl.com/33pb6ndc #WorldMosquitoDay #EndMalaria @lstmnews

PhD students from IRSS in Burkina Faso have worked with @LSTMnews vector biologists to generate a transgenic mosquito. The partnership, funded by the @gatesfoundation, is designed to build capacity in molecular biology and genetic control of mosquitoes in Burkina Faso.

I was almost a week premature when I announced this previously and the link was broken. It's open now doi.org/10.1098/rsos.2… "Video-tracked Anopheles arabiensis entry and exit behaviour at washed and damaged pyrethroid- treated bednets". I hope you find it useful

“An informed collective effort, combining the benefits of all the strategies we have to offer, will give us the best chance of a malaria-free future.” @nicole_page_vec @LSTMnews tells us about her work on new tools to fight #VBDs such as #malaria ⬇️ genedrivenetwork.org/blog/internati…
