@fi_cuskin These will be in approximately 24 minutes on platform one, and approximately 27 minutes on platform 2. I am sorry for this ^RC

@My_Metro when is the next metro due at cullercoats through either platform, please.

Congratulations Dr @ManionJoe! Third PhD from the Lowe Lab; loads of hard work developing an enzyme cocktail to lyse mycobacteria & get nice DNA out. Thanks very much to @NickJakubovics and Gary Black for examining!

@munozNewcastle @MZoupali @EllieAshcroft12 @melissapoma4 @JonathonWoods08 Congratulations Jose, amazing news

@Lis_Lowe I hear you! I have literally made a list of things I have to do before I can look at anymore IC-MS data 😂

When you have to do actual job work but really want to sit with @fi_cuskin and spend hours looking at IC-MS data and trying to figure out sugar fragmentation 😀whyyyy do I have other responsibilities

PhD applications are still open for this project on C. perfringens and how it uses different glycans. It's been a bit difficult to apply, but I've posted the exact link below now. If there are any students interested in enzymes/microbes/glycobiology then please pass this on

There’s a PhD position available in my group starting September #glycotime with @hall_lab and industrial partners Ludger. 🧪🥼🧫 warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/…

Early stage PhD students - when your supervisor reassures you in the first year or so that all your data will come together in the end and you'll get more in the last 6 months than the previous 3 years altogether; trust us! Learning science isn't linear.💜

of course my best data collection would be within the final month in the lab 😅 ahhh I’m actually so excited to write my thesis 😆🤪 @Lis_Lowe

@Lis_Lowe @chrashwood With IC you need to take the good with the bad, but this system seems to be unusually cursed.
English

@chrashwood 🤣 this is accurate @fi_cuskin . It’s not even the IC MS just my normal IC 🥺

Got to love when you get the 4th engineer visit in ~6 weeks to finally finally fix your equipment and they discover a new part installed last week has broken in such an unusual way that they've never ever seen it before. Can a machine be actually cursed? #NotSoMuchGlycotime

We have a funded PhD project in the lab in September! Joint with P&G, with time in their research labs too & a mini MBA. We will be looking for and characterising new glycoprotease enzymes #glycotime findaphd.com/phds/project/n…
(UK students only, unfortunately)

🧵ON PERIODS:
At @cosmicshambles #NineCarols on Sat, I talked about how we are neglecting women's pain & bleeding.
The continuing stigma and silence around periods is pathetic, wrong, devastating for women and economically nonsensical.
Some facts. 1/23
