@Alice_F_E Done, good luck! 👍

Please consider nominating CMV Action for this £5,000 prize. It takes 30 seconds but would go a long way in supporting the work of our small but vital charity. @Weekes_Mike @StrangVirusLab @StantonRich @MJaMurray @ijg25 @ProfAsmaKhalil please share with colleagues, thank you

My 2nd project is out in @NatureSMB ! Following up the SUMO-RNF4 paper, from studying the replication-independent DPC repair, we identified TOPORS as a novel SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase, with SUMO1-binding preference. Thanks all in @MailandLab nature.com/articles/s4159…

Postdoc position available in our lab! Are you interested in self-reactive T cells & how costimulatory pathways shape their fate? Project uses in vivo models, spectral cytometry & sequencing approaches. Deadline 6th March. euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/195641

If either of these are of interest, you can read more here (4/4): Vaccines: forsk.dk/indbakke/under… Persistent viruses: forsk.dk/importerede_fo…

You can also book my talk from last year, which focuses on the group of viruses I primarily research. Most viruses come and go (flu, COVID etc), but some settle down and make YOU their home for life. How do they do this, what do they do to you and why do they matter? (3/4)

This year's "Book a Scientist"/"Bestil en forsker" presentations are now open for booking! A great opportunity for anyone in Denmark to hear some exciting science. And if you/anyone you know might be interested in viruses and vaccines, read on (booking links below) (1/4)

How do #pathogens become more virulent? Read on for a tale of #ancient bones, #ancientDNA, and a very modern danger in the chicken industry… 🧵1/14

In the latest issue of @MolecularCell, we share some of our experiences in adopting more #sustainable practices in molecular biology research 🍀👩‍🔬 @LEAFinLabs Check it out here 👇 cell.com/molecular-cell…

📣Join us at the "#ProteinSignaling - in space and time" #conference! Explore protein-driven mechanisms in cell function, development, and disease. Free registration and accommodations covered by the @novonordiskfond. Apply by Sept 1st! 🌍🧬bit.ly/3PMhvV1

Hopefully the researchers involved in this work get the support and backing they deserve for their future projects

It's only through this article that I have realised the powers that Life fellows hold at the college, which does seem to be holding Caius and the development of the student experience back.

An equal-parts fascinating and horrifying article about the response to research into historical connections between the slave trade and my alma mater, Caius College Cambridge. The vitriol suffered by these researchers is absurd. Long but worth your time. theguardian.com/news/2023/jun/…

“We estimate that over a 7-year follow-up period, getting vaccinated [against shingles] averts one in five new dementia diagnoses.”

Thoughtful and excellent perspective on the issues raised by the unexpected closing of the CPR in Copenhagen by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. Its by our international SAB under the leadership of Angus Lamond. Out in EMBO Reports now. embopress.org/doi/epdf/10.15…

Me and my wacky waving non-inflatable arms had a great time presenting at #pint23 on Wednesday! Thanks for coming, maybe see you again next year? @pintofscienceDK

@MJaMurray talking about the virus within us at #pint23 🦠🤧 @pintofscienceDK #day3

My Pint of Science talk is tonight! Learn about the unique viruses that never learned to move on, and the consequences they can have ⏰ 19:30 📌Next House Cph (Bernstorffsgade 27) ➡ More info: bit.ly/42lfxP1 🎟 Tickets are free: bit.ly/3Woaw6b #Pint23 #OurBody

We also had several BSc/MSc students work on this remotely during the pandemic, which was a very challenging way to carry out your research project, so particularly glad to be able to recognise their efforts with a formalised publication of their work

Latest work from my time at UCL now out in shiny finalised format as a Methods & Resources paper at JBC: jbc.org/article/S0021-…. Big thanks to Matt, Ellie & Claire for getting this over the line once I had left.
