Blatant parroting of Trump in a desperate attempt at votes. These people have no ideas of their own.

On National Poetry Day, the greatest poem I have ever read

That's Lee "B" Van Cleef.

The "B" stands for "King of B Movies"

A teal flyer for a PhD opportunity to investigate how warming may change antimicrobial resistance. The project will use experiments on Klebsiella bacteria to answer questions about how temperature affects their response to antibiotics, plasmid transfer, and fitness costs. The research involves microbiology lab work, bioinformatics, and mathematical modeling. The flyer includes contact details for Dr. Daniel Padfield and the logos of the sponsoring institutions.

I have an MRC-funded PhD project available (www.exeter.ac.uk/study/fundin...) on how warming will change the problem of AMR. Join a small and friendly group (padpadpadpad.netlify.app/about) in (sometimes) sunny Cornwall. 🧪🦠 #microsky

What a job done by the @fnucleosome.bsky.social organisers. Awesome autumn lineup of speakers!

Check it out, Chromatin Kids!

Chromatin remodeller does stuff to Transcription Factors!

Functions where it is seldom seen!

Both decreases and increases chromatin accessibility!

How cool is that?

HP1β and densely packed chromatin form separate microdomains in mouse ES cells, which are reconfigured upon exit from naive pluripotency https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.25.671447v1

So nice to see a UK politician with a conscience for a change. @libdems.org.uk

Nice reminder that opposing genocide in Gaza is never antisemitic, but rather in full solidarity with huge swathes of the Israeli people.

MIGRANTS AREN'T THE PROBLEM INEQUALITY IS Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage.

Farage and co. will tell you to point the finger at migrants.

Don't fall for it.

Whatever patriotism is, it certainly isn’t encouraging hate of a fellow human because of their race, religion or heritage, while waving a flag.
Pass it on.

Rightly so. And peaches are really "epi-nectarines".

This is the final map of origins of BDH Lab members, 2019-2025 in Cambridge. Not too bad, even if the UK is hard to make out.

Already have a good starting set for a new map for the BDH Lab @lsiexeter.bsky.social edition!

Ferrand-Prévot’s Tour win ignites all of France in a joy missing from the men’s race Popular winner is now a national icon as women step out of the shadow of their male cycling counterparts

www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/a...

Pauline Ferrand-Prévot in yellow, winning the Tour de France

How it started:

As a little girl, Ferrand-Prévot asked her mother why it was that she couldn’t race in the Tour de France. “But it’s a men’s race,” came the response. “I wish I was a boy,” the nine-year-old Pauline said.

How it's going:
