In honour of Professor Simon McQueen-Mason, we have set up along with CNAP the McQueen-Mason awards. These will fund #GenerationResearch summer studentships with the aim of widening participation in science. Thank you for any contribution in Simon's memory yustart.hubbub.net/p/McQueen…

I'm happy to announce we have this new article in Nature, discussing policies and challenges for a just transition. "Degrowth can work - here's how science can help": nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Also wonderful to catchup with @FalseUnit who was on EU tour after landing dream job with @amyris in San Francisco after completing her @BBSRCWhiteRose @BBSRC with Simon McQueen Mason and myself - she even brought her own IB product #sweetener

Great to be a part of the HEMP-30 project to catalyse a step-change in the production and utilization of industrial #hemp as a #biorefinery crop in the UK.

#Industrial #hemp could be on the way to becoming a major UK crop after the first stage of an ambitious ten-year plan led by researchers at York wins government backing: ow.ly/eTVj50FXSBK #YorkResearch @BDC_org @BiologyatYork @beisgovuk

Critics of degrowth simply don't read degrowth literature. This take on emissions keeps making the rounds, so here's a brief thread on what it gets wrong:

Spam email got its name from a Monty Python sketch in which shouting ’SPAM!’ drowns out all other conversation.

I enjoyed contributing to the insightful outcome of this waste valorisation paper, collaborating with outstanding researchers at York. Always a great pleasure working with Fanran and Jon, both leading lights in the creation of models that elucidate policy.

Combining various fermentation techniques with modern technology is enabling biotech companies to create proteins that rival those in animal products. And they are poised to seriously challenge the industrial meat, egg, and dairy industries.

There have been a lot of stories recently on the search into COVID19/SARSCoV2 origins, but they have been written to tell stories of intrigue or mystery, not to summarize known facts.
Thus I thought it might be useful to succinctly summarize what we actually know...

A few years ago, @JacobPhD came up with a fun way to display amino acids in a protein as emojis. I wrote a Lua script to turn FASTA protein sequences (one per file) into emoji strings. The size of the organism denote the amino residue bulk and type denote character of amino.

Move over #CRISPR, the retrons are coming. Researchers have harnessed this genetic quirk from bacteria to create a DNA editing tool that allows them to perform and track millions of experiments in a single test tube. buff.ly/3vCbsoz
