Thank you everyone for the wishes 🥺💐🪻❤️

Couldn't have done it without the little things like bantering in the corridor, Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences community events, cake clubs, teaching, sharing reagents and many more 🍰 they help distract phd woes on bad days and keeps me going 🔥

#phdone 19.03.24 ✅ HUGE thank you to my family, partner Tom Leah, cat who didn’t approve of my printed thesis, examiners, thesis committee, Molnar Lab, everyone in Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences Darwin Trust of Edinburgh Biological Sciences | University of Edinburgh BTO who supported me throughout a very challenging 4.5 years 🥂🙏🏻🎉🙌🏻

Science wins!

MEPs vote in favour of supporting greater use of New Genomic Techniques ( #NGTs ) in the EU.

This is a huge step toward more sustainable agriculture.

Thank you to everyone who has taken action toward this outcome. 💚🎉

BIG congratulations Nadra Tabassum 🔥❤️! You've been through SO much ups and downs throughout the 4 years but kept positive nevertheless. Super excited for you to be reunited with your partner+daughter back home now that you're #PhDONE ! 🥳🥳 all the best to your future endeavours

Looking for new opportunities in 2024? My lab soon will have multiple openings ranging from postdocs (*4), technicians (*2) and PhD students (*4). Topics are around synthetic genomics in its broadest sense. Plz get in touch if you are interested!

Just because someone gives you advice does not mean you have to take it. This is why it's SO incredibly valuable to have multiple mentors. n = 1 opinion is often insufficient to get the feedback you need to make big decisions. Thankful for my mentoring team 💚

Highly recommend working with Liz!!! This research project is plant biotechnology at its best 🍀🔥

Our research boosts sesquiterpenoid production 25x from algae, offering a sustainable alternative. Combining genetic engineering & green bioprocess, we’re reshaping chemical production, conserving endangered species & pioneering new methods in biotech. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Merry Christmas to all 🎄⭐️🎁looking forward to the next one because I’ll be done with this PhD misery 🔥 @tomleahneuro

🌿🔬 Unveiled: Sustainable agarwood fragrances via synthetic biology & Green-bioprocesses. Analyzed 58 samples, boosted algae STP production. Solvent recycling for greener scents. #GreenBiotech #FragranceInnovation 🍃🌍 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

This week, we welcome back the UK to the Horizon family. A win-win for global scientific progress.

Starting from 1 January 2024, UK researchers will be able to participate in Horizon Europe🇪🇺, the EU’s research and innovation programme.

I've contributed so much to the UK/The University of Edinburgh/University of York community through volunteering work over 8 years of my life while sacrificing time away from my own family, to be STILL treated like we're here to 'steal jobs'. Absolutely disgusted and disappointed. What a sad day.

Isn't the discount the point of recruiting people for shortage occupations............?

Just another emerging #lateralroot of #cucumber

Grey channel - stained cell walls. Red nuclei - auxin maximum (DR5).
A few orange nuclei (near the initial cells of LR) - green nuclei expressing promoter-reporter fusion (merged with DR5).

The utter meanness and shame of a nation saying we want a careworker to come and look after our elderly incontinent parents, but we won't let them bring their kids to live with them.

UK gov really out there saying postdocs are not allowed here 🫠

PhDone Dr Yu Huo 🥳🤩💐!!!

It makes me so happy to see each PhD colleague cross the finishing line. Hopefully my turn soon next summer! 🤞🏻

Super happy to have been part of the Festival of Algae 3 oganized by Algae-UK! It is great to be part of such an incredible community, which contribute with research that seeks to change the world, moving towards sustainability, CO2 capture and ⬆️value compound production🌎
