Really fun visit to @cssbhamburg.bsky.social in Hamburg as a scientific advisory board member. It’s not over yet tho’ - more work for the board tomorrow.

Day 1 of our Scientific Advisory Board meeting is off to a great start. Scientific talks, lunch at @mpsdhamburg.bsky.social and a tour of #DESY 's FLASH.

Looking forward to our poster session.

Just about to officially notify applicants of the outcome of the latest HECBiosim funding round for High Performance Computing time on national and regional facilities.

We were the first consortium to recognise the need to match applications with the appropriate computing resources.

May as well hand Arsenal the league right now. @mjafreeman.bsky.social

Konate has had as dire start to the season.

The weather in Hamburg is as bad as in Oxford today. Grim.

Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow.

Damn, T S Eliot had the grant writing/submission/review process all worked out.

Really proud of my sister’s sustainable knitwear business. She’s making some bold statement pieces! www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Grac...

If you're attending the Materials and Molecular Modelling Hub #MMMHub conference this week, go listen to Jordan Dorrell: "Sensible Asymmetric Units for Crystal Exploration". These are new methods in crystal structure prediction aimed at better efficiency for complex structures. #compchemSky #ChemSky

Coming home in the rain, under a grey sky, to sit beside a comforting fire, to moan about weather, work, the government, the youth of today, picking up the paper to moan about that too, while knowing that I wouldn’t choose to live anywhere else. That’s what makes me feel English. Not waving a flag

m6A and the NEXT complex direct Xist RNA turnover and X-inactivation dynamics - Nature Structural & Molecular Biology Wei et al. show that the primary function of m6A on the nuclear long noncoding RNA Xist, a master regulator of X inactivation, is to promote RNA degradation. Xist turnover is mediated by the nuclear e...

Double celebration on our floor @oxfordbiochemistry.bsky.social with @guifengwei.bsky.social from the Brockdorff lab and Dounia and Sherry from Fisher lab having their papers published today! And I hear there is more to come...

Bit under the weather today, so stayed at home to write a paper…..instead I’ve made an image of a Lego bacterial outer membrane.

Well done driver

Yes it’s the end of the working day & I’m tired-grumpy - but people’s manners have really taken a nose dive. On a bus, one young man has his iPad on so loudly we can all hear the movie he’s watching, the young lady two seats in front has her booted feet up on the seat next to the one she is sat on 😡

Wirtz will be ok. Need time. The pace is very different

Had a delightful couple of hours at the @ashmoleanmuseum.bsky.social this afternoon. Always blows my mind that it’s free & on my doorstep. Highly recommend to all with a love of art & history.

He did his time. He was always a better captain than player. But he served us well. Now he’s certainly not top premier league nor international level.

I guess we need to pass the ball sideways a lot….
