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!

@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 😂

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.

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)
