Do you know anyone keen to study cancers of unmet need and understand how to improve their responses to treatment? We are looking for a curious enthusiastic scientific officer to work at @cruknbc.bsky.social , close ties with @manchester.ac.uk and @christieinstitute.bsky.social

We go again.... #swfc #wawaw

At the latest. We need a LOT of new players, and prob a new manager (sorry, HP). There will be a few decent players coming to the end of their contracts that we should be looking at. If new owners and structure aren't in place before season end, we are immediately behind. Again.

Great British Values number #43 - Always be gracious in defeat.

Seriously, the hypocrisy of these people is so huge it can be seen from space. Just get in the bin. Horrible, horrible people.

Congratulations, Selina! 😁

Maybe it was from the same AI model of Bord's that did the Blades' pre-season 🤪....

They ARE handy, though.

I use them to tell my kids why it's important that they do maths at school, AND for my undergrad biomed tutees as examples of how not to analyse and present data...

Given how long a purchase might take from here, is there a deadline in the summer by which we have to convince the EFL that we can afford to finish the 26/27 season if we start it? #swfc

Well shit. #swfc #wawaw #wafaw (we're all fucked aren't we)

#swfc 💙

Not sure what's worse. Getting relegated, or the fact that I'm just not bothered cos it's been inevitable since August.

Really don't care it happened at there place. If they wanna crow about beating what is in effect an academy side, crack on. We've got more important things to worry about. #wawaw

Wanna try being a Wednesdayite? Lol #wawaw

Anyone would think that biology just 'isn't that simple'. 🤷‍♂️

Unbelievable.

Also loving Lizzie Yarnold in the studio living and breathing every second. Superb. #bbcolympics

Best 10 minutes of the season lolol #swfc

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein must be close, if you class it as Sci-fi? x

Even the merch is non-specific.... lolol

John Virgo dies aged 79 John Virgo, who co-presented TV show Big Break and commentated on the BBC for 47 years, has died.

Noooooo

This is so sad. Grew up watching him play. Watching him entertain. And listening to him commentate. Mr Snooker.

Always came across as a genuinely lovely and funny bloke too. Gonna be really missed.

#RIPJV #bbcsnooker

Would agree.

The position he's in is impossible - most of our starting XI couldn't even get on the bench last season - but he's setting us up to not get thrashed so when we get the ball there's...nothing.

I'd rather he say 'stuff it' for a couple of games and give it a go. #swfc

Asked about paused funding calls at research councils, Chapman said that at BBSRC:

"We’re going to pause gently while we reorient the system to be always open, so it will paused just for matter of a few weeks"

"On MRC...that pause I expect will run until early summer and then will be open again"

I have a 3-year postdoc position available at University of Manchester for a mass spec expert in proteomics. The person will be involved in exciting projects in single cell proteomics, drug discovery and innate immunity - on timsTOF Ultra AIP & HF & Astral Zoom.

Open letter from Ian Chapman to research and innovation community UKRI Chief Executive outlines changes to UKRI investment approach, addressing concerns about research funding and the financial position of STFC.

I have zero problem with UKRI loooking at and evolving their funding strategy.

This doesn't explain why a cull of live applications AND 12 month pause to other new funding is necessary to bring the new strategy in... 🤷‍♂️

Makes a change. They usually do the 'bad news' emails at 4:30 on Friday lol

That's 12 months of:
No new post-doc positions.
No Early Investigator Awards for ECRs.
Lost jobs and careers.
No overheads to cover University lab costs.
Increased applications to charities, increasing workload and lowering success rates.
No new science being funded.

It's... not good at all.
