This was a really great collaboration and allowed me to cut my teeth in bioinformatics. Who would have thought that a wee guy from Kilwinning would end up in Bangladesh? 😂 I want to thank @WvSchaik for the opportunity to be part of this project (and the great thread below).

Thank you so much to everyone who sponsored me to walk from Glasgow Green to Loch Lomond in the Kilt walk. My feet are only recovering now, but it was worth it to raise some money for CRUK.

Moo Deng? Who deng? Introducing… Haggis 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Otto and Gloria have welcomed an ADORABLE pygmy hippo calf! She is doing well, but we’ll be keeping the hippo house closed for the time being so that our expert keepers can keep a close eye on mum and baby at this sensitive time 🦛💛

I want to overexpress some proteins in STm. Does anyone in Glasgow have pBBR1MCS-4, pUC19 or any other plasmids that would do a good job of constitutively expressing in STm. Ideally it would have an Amp marker. 🙏

S. Typhimurium alternates between a planktonic state and biofilm state. What triggers this transition? New research in #IAIJournal suggests that lactate, the most dominate host-derived metabolite in the inflamed gut, plays a role. Learn more: asm.social/21V
