What the hell is eating our Nannochloropsis ?! ☠️🧪

Two days...two viva's Both Ali and Helen had their PhD viva examinations, one day apart. Here's what they had to say about it...Ali The day finally came that I would defend the research I conducted over the coarse of the m...

Two days - Two viva's www.pandhalresearchgroup.co.uk/post/two-day...

Great to catch up with our polymer experts in the White City, Imperial College London. Love seeing actual products! 🧪

Maybe the MAGA was “Make Algae Great Again”, as we push to the magic $2.50 a barrel for algae biodiesel 😭🧪

Got soundly mocked for wearing this jumper during a conference call today…probably deserved

Wanted to show my second year students how tangential flow works in my biotech lecture earlier- the box was too heavy to transport so I took photos instead. Lame. So so lame.

Friday drinks with the lab always taste the best 🧪🍻

Characterising complex metabolic responses in an engineered, cross-feeding microbial co-culture using quantitative proteomics Microbial communities play a key role in biogeochemical transformations in a wide range of ecosystems, but they also hold significant potential to enh…

Engineering synthetic co-cultures to be "needy" leads to unexpected consequences. We barely scratch the surface here, but get some interesting insights #biotech

“Phycosphere Friday” Nannochloropsis and his pals. 🧪

Scaling up our research over seven orders of magnitude When research outgrows the laboratory, the transition to industrial infrastructure marks a pivotal shift from theoretical discovery to practical application.

We need to sympathise with the USA people, not lambast them because their government is letting them down.

It doesn’t look good peering in from the outside.

Also, I like the BBC, but their obsession with Trump is really ruining my mornings. World news now starts with Trumps opinion on an event, then we find out about the event. Awful.

Microdroplets with algae a go! 🧪

😂

Made an egg and coconut curry for dinner- it was disgusting 🤢

I seem to have a good experience there- people are often friendly. Also, in terms of science it’s a world leader so sad to miss out

Sadly my research group don’t want to do Science conferences in USA🇺🇸 currently, despite my efforts to separate politics and science, I can’t make them go :-( 🧪 #science

😭

I still can’t talk about Villa after yesterdays news 😢

He’s been “gifted” a Nobel peace prize now…talk about devaluing a prestigious award 🤦🏻‍♂️

Glad you added the last sentence, he seems a bit sour at the moment.

Peering into our new 1500 L photobioreactor- this will cultivate a consortia identified from screened in 100 uL…we are now 7 orders of magnitude bigger! 🧪

Scuttlebutt and Solutions: Why we should present our research problems by Luke Richardson after MMEG 2025Occasionally, the life of an academic does feature some excitement: a conference. Now, I’ll take any opportunity to leave our windowless, underground lab (ironically ...

Research problems? Talk about it! 🧪

@frankiemaguire.bsky.social loved the pina colada analogy 😂

Hmm, it’s really nerdy and sad what thought crossed my mind when I got these socks for Christmas 🎄🧪🧬
