Two PhD projects from my lab awaiting for funding decision: 1) on DNA condensation with Alice Pyne is on 🦋, 2) on nucleoid-associated proteins with Mark Leake Mark Leake. Strong candidates are part of decision criteria! So interested and talented individuals contact me.

In advance of tonight's #MAFSAustralia commitment ceremony, it might be time to brush up on your game theory: georgewatson.me/blog/culture/2…

Happy pancake day to all! I hope Father Pancake has blessed you with many pancakey treats 🥞

Congratulations to Georged Watson for defending successfully his thesis this morning! I am ecstatic and very proud of who has been my first PhD student. How lucky I've been to have him as the pioneer in my lab. I just miss to give him a crushing hug 🥳

Blue tit update: We have tiny tweets from the nest box and two very busy parents. I think we have a lot of chicks to name!

This is the best picture so far of Cloud & Claude, our garden's cutest set of proud new blue tit parents, here shown taking it in turns to munch on their favourite snack, black sunflower seeds

📣 Big news: My University of York PhD thesis is now officially online! If you like DNA, proteins, or molecular simulations, you'll love this: etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/28874/ (with help from Agnes Noy Mark Leake Physics of Life at York @PhysicsatYork) Also, here are some baby blue tits.

The last few years have been a blast. I love science. I even think I’m quite good at it. But I’m taking my PhD and heading to pastures new, and I’d like to share my reasons. georgewatson.me/blog/science/2…

Head-to-head experiments and simulations with shared first, Sam Yoshua and Georged Watson, and corresponding authors, Mark Leake Mark Leake and myself, to describe all the structural complexity IHF-DNA can adopt. In @NAR_Open doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk…

Our paper is now out and I am taking the chance to provide some more detail via an-email thread 👇

Filling up the bird bath is giving me PhD flashbacks...

Proud of our last work where we describe the interplay between DNA-protein recognition and supercoiling. Beautiful simulations from George Watson-Hyde 🧬 in collaboration with Elliot Chan and Mark Leake doi.org/10.1016/j.csbj… See thread 👇
