Come work with us! We have two (One wet, one dry) postdoc positions open to work with us in collaboration with AstraZeneca understanding the grammar of regulation by 3' UTRs and putting that knowledge to good use in improving RNA therapeutics. Links in thread below:

This must be discussed in the house; please sign here petition.parliament.uk/petitions/5800…

Got a PhD in molecular biology or functional genomics? Experience in RNA biology or massively parallel reporter assays? Come work in an interdisciplinary team to studying of post-transcriptional regulation and using this to improve RNA therapeutics! jobs.ac.uk/job/CGQ284/res… 1/5

Please RT! Fully funded PhD with me and Gemma Langridge Quadram Institute available to start this october. If you want to play with how AMR evolves in biofilms it could be for you! biodtp.norwichresearchpark.ac.uk/projects/adapt…

Molecular Microbiology: Biochemistry to Disease is part of the School of Biosciences in Science at Sheffield. We are trying to understand how microbes live, die, interact with hosts & cause disease.

Hey university staff & lecturers, I thought I should get it our here: We DID see that you worked a lot during covid, even more than at normal times. And we are grateful. You made our year. Sorry that many vice chancellors don't see that. Sincerely, The students of covid.

There is one angle of #Partygate that is not being discussed. I have heard not a single journalist ask questions about it so far. And it is, in my view, one of the most important - if not the most important, in terms of learning lessons. THREAD 1/

Congratulations to member Professor Liz Sockett FRS of the University of Nottingham, UK, awarded a CBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for services to microbiology.

The annual budget for the bioinformatics and biological resources committee, to fund all databases and resources across the biological sciences, is £6M

Perhaps the most harmful, and the one that triggered me to write this thread was the suggestion to always ask a wet lab biologist or clinician to review your results. This feeds directly into the damaging idea that computational biologists are not *real* biologists.

Karel Čapek’s 1936 book “War with the Newts” contains this conversation with a sentient newt that has learnt English by reading tabloid papers! Compare & contrast with today’s “We trained a neural net…”

Come do awesome science and learn with me! I have a PhD position available to study the effects of variation on miRNA targeting. * Why does mutating miRNA sites not always have an effect on the target? * Why does varying miRNA level not affect the levels of all targets?

Are you applying RNA-seq or TraDIS/Tn-seq to antibiotic-treated bacteria? Check out our new preprint where @geraldine_js, a Helmholtz Information & Data Science Academy HIDA visiting researcher, developed a method to fix biases introduced by interference with DNA replication.
