Many congratulations to the team of collaborators, especially Tayla Shakespeare and @rajseehra.bsky.social who have achieved this with the guidance and support of a whole team, including Philip Woodman (Manchester) and @drbciani.bsky.social. 4/

University of Sheffield staff 'intimidated' by pay forfeit warning University of Sheffield to withhold pay if staff do not make up for teaching missed while striking.

Great to see media coverage of the hostile and punitive approach taken by management at @sheffielduni.bsky.social towards @sheffielducu.bsky.social staff striking to protect jobs. Threats and intimidation won't work. We're out until we win!

@royalsociety.org thank you for a great industry college networking meeting and the opportunity to present my work with @astra-zeneca.bsky.social. Looking forward to continuing engaging!🤩

Delighted to share our latest work today at Sheffield. Many thanks @drbciani.bsky.social for hosting me

It was great to finally being able to host you. Great story!!!😊

Can't decide if you like Biochemistry, Chemistry or Biophysics? Do all three! The bonus? You get to learn advanced biophysics with Prof Sarah Harris and @timcraggs.bsky.social and be exposed to the dynamic environment of @ei-science.bsky.social

BREAKING: Our members at the University of Sheffield have voted overwhelmingly for strike action against the University Executive Board’s ongoing campaign of job cuts, and the threat to staff workload and wellbeing that they represent.

Leicester UCU will be on strike from Monday 29 September until Friday 17 October.
Support our striking members, donate to the fighting fund if you're able.

Schematic overview on how MicroSpit operates. It can split superimposed structures in fluorescent image channels by using a suitably trained AI.

Concrete example for how MicroSplit unmixes four superimposed structures.

Immagine you could image two cellular structures in the same fluorescent channel and still reliably get them separated afterwards…
What would you do with this?

Now… what would you do if that also worked with 4 structures at once? 👇 #MicroSplit #preview🧵

Still difficult to come to terms with this. He was tweeting till not too long ago.

Fall in UK university core science courses stokes fears for industrial strategy Chemistry courses have dropped a quarter and biosciences by 15% in past 5 years

Ahah! That’s sweet and matters so much to me. Thank you.

🥂

Thank you!!

Grazie Daniela!

Never lose hope I guess?

Thanks Juan. Looking forward to host you in Sheffield.

Well looks like I finally can add the ‘senior’ word to the lecturer. Only because of supporting colleagues, fantastic collaborators, marvellous students and researchers. It’s a bit bittersweet this year but I need to say thank you 🤗

One by one? I hope Nature pays for physio!

Give me some time and I’ll follow you all back. At the rate of 30+ a day, I am getting repetitive strain injury 😬

University of Reading proposes closing its chemistry department next year The university joins several others that are considering the future of their departments and undergraduate programmes

if you are a chemistry academic in the UK you should know this. The third department this year. www.chemistryworld.com/news/univers...

Is there an easy way to follow everyone back that follows you ?

Hey #ChemSky, look who’s here >>> @carolynbertozzi.bsky.social - hey Carolyn! 👋

Woo! Hello followers!

Deeply saddened by the news that David Stephens died last night.
David was an outstanding cell biologist based at Bristol whose work spanned #MembraneTraffic #cytoskeleton #ciliogenesis + more. He was “one of the good guys”. Kind, supportive, generous with his time, and rigorous about his science. 🧪

Oh no!
