Never let them tell you that they're all the same. Never let them suggest politics makes no difference. Never listen to the siren voices who prioritise their political purity over winning. People who would have been sent to Rwanda now won't be, because Labour is in government.

We have x2 open microbiome-focused PhD positions to start October Northumbria Uni See below for details & links ⤵️ Application deadline for both is 24th July Please RT

Why is it so hard for universities to understand that experimental wet labs work best with the following setup: --Student/postdoc/RA non-hot desk offices next to the labs --*Private* offices for PIs that are in the same building--ideally the same floor as their labs

Had a brilliant science day yesterday, visiting the Division of Molecular Microbiology University of Dundee as a PI to present our group's work (11 yrs after my PhD there). Thanks to all for the stimulating discussions & great ideas for collaborations. Thanks to Helge Dorfmueller for the invite.

I have an exciting PhD position available in my group in collaboration with P&G, combining Synthetic Biology & Computational Biology to develop novel metal-binding peptides to replace non-biodegradable chemicals. findaphd.com/phds/project/d…

Didn't make the post public! Please retweet!

Really great supervisor with a cool project on urban microbiomes.

Closing date is one week tomorrow #synbio #engbio #engineeringbiology #phd #findaphd

Brilliant two days. Fantastic programme by the organisers and great talks by all speakers! Thanks all. #synbio #syntheticbiology #engineeringbiology

New preprint out today: doi.org/10.1101/2025.0… In it we tackle making our favourite plant-growth promoting bacterium engineerable, with lots of useful genetic tools #synbio #syntheticbiology #engineeringbiology

We need experimental abundance in bioengineering. So much of biological science is trying to squeeze as much learning as possible out of a very small amount of raw experimental data -- because making that data is insanely expensive. We're hitting the limits of that approach --

Delighted to announce that we are one of 14 ARIA Seed Creators in the Programmable Plants space! We're engineering bacteria as smart conduits between the plant & environment, reprogramming crops in the field, to respond appropriately to moderate stress. northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/news-…

So excited to get started on this!

Haven't been on X in a while but it's still where I see the most engagement compared to Blue sky and even linkedin. Will start posting here more!

If you have any contacts that are farmers/growers, we'd love some help getting our survey out to them to find out about their problematic soils! Part of our spinout efforts at gains.bio research.typeform.com/to/SaywsRvh?ty…
