Sent off plasmids for sequencing to @plasmidsaurus last Thursday. Data back today! So quick! Even after travelling ~11,100 km(~7000 mi/freedom units) 🤯🤯
ALT Automated annotations for a plasmid from our recent paper - https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mec.2023.e00221 - and yes, that's an anatomically correct dinosaur.

Check out my favourite (robotic) labmate for Chlamydomonas engineering!
I will be giving a seminar highlighting our recent work using the colony picking robots from @SingerInst for engineering Chlamydomonas. Hope to see you there 28th September! singerinstruments.com/rotor-…

Great team, great lab! Selfishly, I want to borrow the AKTA specialist 😅
I still have Postdoctoral position open! Everyone who has experience working with AKTA and other separation methods is welcome to apply. Only serious applications please 😀👍

PhDs can be challenging and public discourse tends to focus on the negatives.
To bring back some balance and positive momentum, this group of students sought to highlight the positive elements of the PhD experience. #AcademicChatter #PhDChat elifesciences.org/articles/8…
