We are hiring again! A PhD position is available in my lab @IBBPAS in Warsaw. Come and join us for a study into the evolution of a fascinating family of copper storage proteins (Csp). You'll develop biochemical and bioinformatic skills, and join a fun multidisciplinary team.

TNT Sports UK just had 6 minutes 40 seconds of ad breaks in the span of 14 minutes... on their PAID streaming service.
15:04:00-15:07:20
15:14:40-15:18:00
That is 47% of the last 14 minutes being ad breaks.
£30.99 per month by the way. 🤷 #GirodItalia

There has been widespread concern about the funding of specific scientific research programmes. The Committee heard evidence from members of the scientific community and has written to DSIT and UKRI
We've published a letter to DSIT and UKRI about the funding pressures at Science and Technology Facilities Council, which could put some areas of scientific research at risk.
Read it here: committees.parliament.uk/pub…

designing substrates for enzymes like proteases is a combinatorial problem.
tackling this, we built CleaveNet: a deep learning pipeline that designs peptide substrates with targeted efficiency & selectivity, validated end-to-end in the lab.

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Professor Jeff Cole, former President and current Vice President of the European Federation of Biotechnology (EFB).
A dedicated leader, respected microbiologist, and valued member of our community, his impact on EFB and the wider field will not be forgotten.
Our thoughts are with his family and colleagues.

Finally, we're recruiting!
If you'd like to do a PhD using NMR structures to study the dynamics of a metalloenzyme, then you're in luck! Come to Warsaw for this project, in collaboration with Simone Ciofi-Baffoni's group at CERM, Florence: ibb.edu.pl/app/uploads/2025/…

I got hit by some rather sudden and extreme financial hardship so if anyone is in need of remote wetlab contract research, strictly BSL1, do let me know. Currently scrambling for gigs.

It bears repeating today: the women celebrating the UK supreme court ruling do not speak for me. History shows that the rights of women and the rights of trans people will rise and fall together. My safety as a cis woman will never spring from the persecution of trans women.
