Delighted to share that we have been awarded a UKRI FemTech Accelerator in collaboration with MyBliss. We look forward to sharing the exciting science we’ve been cooking up!

10 years ago to the day I went to my first conference, MMC. It’s since been my favourite conference! Today I went for lunch with the lovely @alicepyne.bsky.social whilst she was at MMC and got the chance to go in and see the exhibition with Nova who is 7weeks old today! What a treat 💖🥰

Research Technician :Oxford Road

📣 Position available: Research tech in microbial experimental evolution! Working alongside postdoc Louise Flanagan (@flanagella.bsky.social) on understanding how Pseudomonas evolves resistance to antibiotics. 🦠🧫

What a great talk, love how clearly Dolan explains the science! Baby Nova and I really enjoyed it 🥰💖🙌🏾

I’ve had my 1st teaching allocation this year and it’s been an experience. I’ve been eased in with 4 amazing MPhys students, who made the whole thing a lot easier for me. Last week I received this feedback. I know it won’t always be easy, but this definitely makes it feel worth it!

Let’s schedule a sit down and try get a plan together? I’m really interested in adapting for deep lung, I’d need some guidance though!

Hey this looks great! We should definitely look at this in the lungchip!

When I say ray of sunshine I truly mean it!! Rowan you bring so much joy to the table and have been a fountain of knowledge from day 1!! Vancouver are bloody lucky to gain you!! 💖💖

Big moment for InViFlo — our first public outing at the Physics of Life conference! We’re building flexible, low-cost organ-on-a-chip tools for real-time, high-res science. Want a free chip? Take our quick survey at inviflolabs.com — and please share

Had a brilliant time at Physics of Life in Harrogate! Co-coordinating the ECR event was a great experience—so much amazing, diverse science. I also co-chaired the community roadmap session with Prof Alice Pyne, really engaging with the community to build a space where everyone can grow 💖 #PoLnet

🙈🙈I know

The trains are absolutely shit this morning!! In every way a train can be 🫠

It’s been an absolute Joy to sit next to Dolan for the best part of 3 years! Our journey isn’t over yet and I’m sure we will be seeing a lot more of each other soon 🙊🙊 watch this space 👩🏽‍🔬👨‍🔬

Today I gave a talk at Wythenshawe hospital research centre talking all about my novel microfluidic platform to study disease in complex organ systems. It was a joy and looking forward to how we can build on this exciting project!

🚨 Pre-print alert! 🚨
We have developed a robust protocol to reveal the ultrastructure of live Candida albicans using stimulated emission depletion microscopy, tracking organelles with high spatial precision for more than 12 hours.

After a right blunder with resetting passwords I’ve become locked out of everything to do with work, emails, one drive, staffnet, blackboard all of it.
Surely this shouldn’t feel THIS painful?!

🚨PhD Opportunity - please share!🚨

We’re hiring a PhD student to start Sept 2025: how do bacteria ‘tame’ phage parasites, and turn them into deadly Tailocins?

Come join me, @brockhurstlab.bsky.social, Patrick Cai &
@raveentank.bsky.social as we study ZOMBIE PHAGES!

The grosssss strawberry cream that taste like Calpol are left and the purples always go 1st (although I do love a blue too!)

Love this, the day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾💖

‪Reminder to submit your talk 🎙️ abstracts (iop.eventsair.com/pol2025/) for Physics of Life 2025 by the end of this week!

Join the UK’s largest Physics of Life conference, uniting physics & biology. Engage in keynote talks, dynamic sessions, networking and more!
#PhysicsOfLife #Biophysics #Science

Abstract deadline for #physicsoflife2025 now extended to Sun 15th Dec

Last #physicsoflife meeting in 2023 was great success as unique conference at interface between physics & biology.

Abstracts don't need to have direct link to physics, but want dialogue between fields.

I second this 😂🎄🙏🏾

YES!! 💖

@rosielizclover.bsky.social

Big congratulations to Rosie! When I 1st started she embraced me into MERMan and ever since has shared her enthusiasm, encouragement and deep love for the science. The OG who brought all the hugs advice and encouragement 🥰
