Thanks to everyone who joined us for today's LLM workshop Cambridge Computer Science. Participants have explored LLMs, augmentation, quantization, ethics & next steps for implementing them in their own research. Find out more and try our code for yourself: bit.ly/4dTaPOL

A team led by the Ajo-Franklin group’s very own Biki Kundu has uncovered the mechanism through which E. coli utilizes redox shuttles for extracellular respiration and growth, showcasing the unexpected versatility of microbial metabolism biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Two weeks ago we spent 4 amazing days in Snowdonia National Park, stopping by in Birmingham, for our annual group trip!🏔️ Huge thanks to the social team for organising those days filled with talks, outdoor activities, and some incredible homemade food! www-reisner.ch.cam.ac.uk/group-trip.html

please RT: here is the application link for the open #postdoc positions I mentioned before. In total, we are looking for 6 postdocs in microbiology, bio-electrochemical systems, bio-analytics, and systems biology recruitingapp-5128.de.umantis.com/Vacancies/3006…
