This was a rather inevitable outcome.

First delivery.

100% accurate portrayal of my favourite American chain.

Hello RNA/DNA twitter! Especially postdocs, PhD students and early career researchers! I am organising the Gordon Research Seminar on Nucleic Acids scheduled to take place on June 17th and 18th 2023 at Maine! grc.org/nucleic-acids-…

Americans when you mention somewhere in the UK that isn’t London.

most people ordering stuff to establish their lab: whats the cheapest price?

me: ok but does this ice bucket come in a tasteful neon pink?

My design aesthetic is best described as restrained and understated.

Marc van Oostrum Celebrating the submission of Marc’s Opus- synaptic diversity across brain regions and cell types, with spirits from Paul Donlin-Asp 🏳️‍🌈 and Eleanor Vail.

Fire safety in the US: hear an alarm? run.

UK: hear a continuous alarm? refer to page 12. hear a discontinuous alarm? it’s morse code telling you what to do.

Germany: hear an alarm? follow plan outlined on pages 12-14 annexes 12.2.1-14.1.2.4. you’re liable if you do it wrong.

if you haven't yet.. check out the latest Erin schuman lab preprint. beautiful work from Marc van Oostrum.

She’s a fan of the locals.

We are looking for a motivated PhD starting October 2023. Working with Claire Durrant and me, in collaboration with Ionis, and supported by Medical Research Scotland. We hope to understand the function and loss of inhibitory synapses in dementia.

Loving Scotland so far. However my one major complaint.. is when the Sainsbury staff hit “visibly over 25” at the self check out when buying beer. Yes I get it.. but there is no need to rub it in my face.

It's my great pleasure to present the first preprint from SheqLab: a tech-dev project that we think will transform RNA biology.

If you want to discover the cellular factors an RNA interacts with—practically any RNA, in nearly any context—I think you'll want to try O-MAP. (1/19)

Saturday stroll along the Water of Leith.
