They’re definitely worth it ☺️ I even manage to keep most of them alive.

Step 1 in making my home office living wall - spend more in one go on house plants than I’m prepared to admit

Currently reading the excellent ‘The Guns of August’ by Barbara Tuchman about the outbreak of the First World War. This paragraph struck me in its relevance to today.

The best bit of Easter is going to the supermarket early on Easter Monday and getting half price chocolate.

A glimpse into the invisible world; inspiring future scientists through outreach - Quadram Institute PhD student Josh Horton reflects on his recent experiences planning and delivering science outreach sessions at a local primary school

"Events and activities aimed at the younger generation can show them that they can be part of the world of science. With parts of Norfolk being among the most deprived areas in the country, it’s really important to showcase that science is going on right here in Norwich."

So the rule is I’m only allowed to eat chocolate today, right?

Only a few days left to apply! We’d love to hear from you if you’re interested in coming to join us on the fantastic @mmbdtp.bsky.social PhD programme!

Excellent @mmbdtp.bsky.social PhD project available with an excellent supervisory team ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Bacterial chromatin remodeling associated with transcription-induced domains at pathogenicity Islands The nucleoid-associated protein H-NS is a bacterial xenogeneic silencer responsible for preventing costly expression of genes acquired through horizontal gene transfer. H-NS silences several Salmonell...

In summary: our results support a model where tight regulation of chromatin remodeling minimizes the cost of pathogenicity island activation, ensuring efficient control of virulence gene expression.
