This week I got a gigantic next generation sequencing dataset. Today it took me about 30 minutes just to unzip all the 2000+ files. Sharpening my skills at bash and giving some hard work to the arc supercomputer at Leeds, this is gonna be fun!

Honestly, twitter is simply so hard to use now. Promoted tweets are not clearly marked on the top and keep on interfering. All replies are no shown unless you click on "show more replies", and prioritizes instead showing you "More tweets". It's impossible to read a conversation!

I already have an academic superpower! I can smell cell decay or contamination in an incubator sooner than anybody else 👃🏽👃🏽👃🏽

I had the opportunity to think & work w/ incredible people for the last 4 yrs on how to make an impact on academic representation & culture. Our conclusions & insights are in this article. Please consider how you can contribute to making academia & STEM better for everyone 💜

Facebook market is like a different dimension, I swear. This lady calling out all academia and telling me to get a real job. Feeling personally attacked here 😅

Is anyone left in this app? Last week and this morning have been really exciting days in terms of discovery and career progression and I found myself missing what twitter was for me during 2019-2022. Is #AcademicTwitter still a thing?

I've overbooked myself big time for the last 2 weeks and the upcoming months. But it is paying off so far! Send vitamins and coffee my way (and pet pictures) #AcademicTwitter #Science #Research

Becoming a postdoc after complaining for 4 years during your PhD

Having a HUGE experiment work on a Saturday feels like...! Watch this space, exciting stuff is coming!!!

Otto Warburg's grant application from 1921 is just one sentence – “I require 10,000 marks” – and it was fully funded.

Is it worth running a high impact project to achieve a high impact goal even though you will not publish in a while? To me the answer is YES. But funding agencies do not necessarily agree with this. How do we intend to make real scientific discoveries in a short-term system?

Our recent review RSC Chemical Biology is now online❗️ Here we report on bioorthogonal tags in the cell – silent Raman window and discuss their potential in biomedical applications using different modalities of #Ramanspectroscopy 🧬🔬 Open access here 👇🏼 pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
