One of the enduring mysteries of the American Civil War was a little-known phenomenon referred to at the time as Angel’s Glow. The soldiers who lay in the mud for two rainy days during the Battle of Shiloh had wounds that began to glow in the dark. Doctors at the time noted that soldiers with this strange emission of light seemed to fare much better than soldiers whose wounds did not. It would take nearly 140 years to figure out why. In 2001, 17-year-old high school student Bill Martin and his friend, Jonathan Curtis, won an international science fair by discovering that the soldiers had been so cold that their bodies created the perfect conditions for growing a bioluminescent bacteria, Photorhabdus luminescens, which ultimately destroyed the bad bacteria that could have killed them.

@MAFesenko @plasmidsaurus @Dunn_School @OxfordBiology @HumanGeneticsOx @mjwsim That would be awesome! @plasmidsaurus has basically replaced Sanger sequencing in our lab 🙂

@samuelddean @plasmidsaurus @Dunn_School @OxfordBiology @HumanGeneticsOx @mjwsim Our lab would be keen for more frequent @plasmidsaurus collections too @samuelddean! Next week, I can email Jeanette from our Genomics team who helped to set up our dropbox to see if more frequent collections would be possible 🤞

If you've been using one of our Oxford University dropboxes, you may have spotted something unusual...!!!🦖🚲 Daily pickups at @Dunn_School, @OxfordBiology, @HumanGeneticsOx, and Old Road Campus Research. Huge shoutout to Dr Malcolm Sim, @mjwsim!

Congratulations Professor Theresa Manful Gwira on your well deserved promotion. I'm super proud of you! @TheresaGwira @gordon_awandare @WACCBIP_UG @GHABSA_UG @UnivGh_VC @UG_BCMB
