We're back in York today for day 2 of @prosperpostdoc.bsky.social and the group are looking at jobs! They've been tasked with finding job vacancies, researching the key information and skills needed for these roles outside of academia.

Disappeared from here for a couple of months (social media doesn't come to me naturally) and it seems the wave has dissipated... is anyone who isn't a social media manager still here?

Had the pleasure of chairing our Molecular and Nanoscale Physics group internal seminar at @physicsleedsuni.bsky.social today. Always good to celebrate success within the group and hear about the breadth of research going on. Today's talks covered topics from flow cytometry to polymer chemistry!

Enjoyed a day out of the office last week with this dynamic group of Yorkshire Postdocs. It was good to take some time to reflect on our values and strengths together. Excited for the next @prosperpostdoc.bsky.social day in York next month! #PostdocLife #AcademicNetworking

My first post! Hi science community ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿงฌ

We have been trying to figure out the mechanistic mysteries about SMC motor proteins. They extrude our genome constantly into loops. We know that that's important. But how it works, is a matter of intense debate! Today, we report a piece of the puzzle:

Moving from a physical science background where expansions tended to fairly well explain the term, to working around biology where so many acronyms have misleading expansions was a confusing transition

Back in the office after a long weekend in beautiful Bilbao. Had a great time exploring the city, eating Pintxos in the bars and visiting some amazing museums.

We have a #PhD available! I'm really excited about this project, looking at whether and how differences in the #IDRs of paralogous epigenetic enzymes CBP and p300 cause them to behave differently. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Excited to share our new paper in @PNASNews on mixed, reconstituted neurofilaments (NFs)! This work was led by ChemE PhD student Erika Ding and done in collab w Prof. Rui Wang and ChemE PhD student Takashi Yokokura here at Berkeley pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

First paper of our lab today @natureportfolio.bsky.social by Nussi!

We provide a real-time movie on how #transcription and #translation cooperate using #single-molecule FM: we find long-range #ribosome/ RNAP communication mediated by #RNA looping!

Going to read this in some detail. I wonder if the trends are the same in Europe and the rest of the world, the RIJS study is over 8 countries.

Interesting to see scientists perceived as a unifying force in society. ๐Ÿงช
Not sure exactly what to think about this. It seems that several of the hot button issues at the moment have a scientific aspect so we (scientists) need to be aware how our voices are heard.
