It’s the School of Biosciences 2025 School Conference on Wednesday this week In the Avon Room at the University of Birmingham. All welcome. the final session at 3 pm will be a Celebration in the Marquee. by the clock tower…former staff, students and supporters welcome

@vdlorenzo_CNB @EvolvedBiofilm Must confess to still being mesmerised! I think evolution is too as so much bacterial gene regulation focuses on it.

@EvolvedBiofilm Good old times when the Mol Micro folks were mesmerized by the roles of the NTD & CTD domains of the alpha subunit of RNAP, the Type I, II & III promoters etc … We used to call this sketch the *cockroach* model 😱

I found my ~19 years old poster at parents house, summarizes my PhD + early PD work on transcriptional regulators in a photosynthetic purple sulfur bacterium #MolecularMicrobiology #Thiocapsa (including work from Birmingham with Steve Busby and Doug Browning)

Our dear friend and colleague Joseph (Pepe) Casadesús passed away earlier today. He was a legend of Spanish microbiology, an amazing mentor of many young researchers and an inspiration for the whole community. He will be sorely missed RIP.

@vdlorenzo_CNB Very sad to hear this. Pepe really was one of the best: thoughtful, wise, astute, friendly, cultured, a brilliant person, always worth listening to. A great loss to our community.

Bacterial Transcription Regulation Symposium this Tuesday @UoBbiosciences - Speakers from around Europe and the IMI docs.google.com/file/d/0B1mgVA…

IMI Symposium on Transcription Regulation at Birmingham Biosciences on Tuesday 17th. Great line up of speakers !

Sad about the death of Francois Jacob, amazing man and brilliant thinker
