Free scientific illustrations for biologists! ๐ @NIH has released a library of 500+ free scientific illustrations to create figures, presentations, and illustrations! all freely available in the public domain. Retweet and spread the message! bioart.niaid.nih.gov

Also started a new chapter on the same day with @_tomleah surrounded with close friends and family who's been with us from day 1 ๐ธ๐๐ผ๐ชท๐ฅฐ ! Credits to Liam Law for the superb photography ๐ธ




Another long chapter finally over ๐ธ! #PhDone So happy to see many people I know graduate alongside โจ it's been a tough and tiring rollercoaster ride ๐ข HUGE thank you to my husband @_tomleah , family, friends and role models ๐ฅฐ @Luehea @YanqianD @RistVdw @InstMolPlantSci




Did something a little bit different with my design this time for a 'Sexy Science' article and love the complementary layout done by the @eusci team! ๐๐ #scicomm
๐จ We are in awe of the stunning art in Issue 32! A huge thank you to all the talented artists. Check out the amazing illustrations by Ewa Ozga, Stevie Hope, Allison Quinlan, Muminah Koleoso, Apple Chew, Kate Louise Powell, Colleen He, and Prerna Vohra in issue 32! ๐



Thank you everyone for the wishes ๐ฅบ๐๐ชปโค๏ธ Couldn't have done it without the little things like bantering in the corridor, @InstMolPlantSci community events, cake clubs, teaching, sharing reagents and many more ๐ฐ they help distract phd woes on bad days and keeps me going ๐ฅ

#phdone 19.03.24 โ HUGE thank you to my family, partner @_tomleah, cat who didnโt approve of my printed thesis, examiners, thesis committee, @molnar_lab, everyone in @InstMolPlantSci @DarwinTrustOfEd @SBSatEd BTO who supported me throughout a very challenging 4.5 years ๐ฅ๐๐ป๐๐๐ป

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. ๐๐

BIG congratulations @TabassumNadra ๐ฅโค๏ธ! 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! ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ all the best to your future endeavours
Just survived my PhD viva with minor corrections and it was one of the shortest viva duration ๐โ๏ธ ! Ahh, what a journey it has been ๐ฎโ๐จThe feeling is surreal !!



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 ๐
Highly recommend working with Liz!!! This research project is plant biotechnology at its best ๐๐ฅ @plantae_org @ASPB

Our research boosts sesquiterpenoid production 25x from algae, offering a sustainable alternative. Combining genetic engineering & green bioprocess, weโre reshaping chemical production, conserving endangered species & pioneering new methods in biotech. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/artโฆ
Merry Christmas to all ๐โญ๏ธ๐looking forward to the next one because Iโll be done with this PhD misery ๐ฅ @tomleahneuro

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 @HorizonEU, the EUโs research and innovation programme. More info โ
I've contributed so much to the UK/@EdinburghUni/@UniOfYork 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.
Weโre increasing the minimum earnings threshold for skilled workers by 48% to ยฃ38,700, encouraging businesses to look to British talent first and invest in their workforce.

Isn't the discount the point of recruiting people for shortage occupations............?
Weโre scrapping the 20% going rate salary discount, meaning the immigration system cannot undercut British workers.

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). #confocal #LSM780 #auxin #root

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 ๐ซ
