Filming equipment in the lab at Exciting Instruments HQ. Lots of cool kit everywhere.
Something is happening at @ei-science.bsky.social HQ…
Can’t wait to show you all!
But I’m going to have to - won’t be long now.

Great session with the Masters students today @unisheffieldlib.bsky.social getting them all set up on @linkedin.com and more importantly here on @bsky.app
Please do give them a follow when you see them posting on here - part of their ‘homework’ this week ;)
Just posting on my way out…
Good to have you here!
👀 At #BPS but haven’t stopped by booth 401 yet? Meet the team to discover how you can unlock the ultimate #single-molecule resolution at your benchtop, generating high-impact insights into #biomolecular interactions and dynamics. See you there! @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social #biophysics #lifescience
🚀 Big news from @timcraggs.bsky.social x #BPS2026: meet the new EI-FLEX Pro! Automated alignment + focus, real-time analysis with publication-ready plots, modular upgrade to 96/384 wells, no darkroom or optical table, compact benchtop. Meet us at booth 401 or get in touch for a demo! #singlemolecule
I'm a bit late with this, but awesome to see it out in the wild! A real tour de force from @dozenoaks.bsky.social @timcraggs.bsky.social An amazing example of why we need to think more about flexibility in our biological questions! www.cell.com/iscience/ful...
New paper out!
i-Motif, not G-quadruplex, stability regulates insulin expression - published in @narjournal.bsky.social
Team effort driven by Dr Dilek Guneri supported by Dr Chris Morris, @timcraggs.bsky.social, @yiliangding.bsky.social and Prof Steve Smith

The entrance lobby for the new Exciting Instruments facility - with cool 3D logos and reflections in the window an interesting way around!
Love the optics here - see the reflection!
We are welcoming a lot of people to @ei-science.bsky.social getting great data on their own biological systems for prelim data for grants.
It’s nice to have a greta space to welcome them to!
Is there an #smFRET experiment you’d like to try? Ping me here!

Looking forward to my first meeting council meeting at what could probably be my 10th annual meeting (and that only because for a long time I favoured the west coast years…)
Holiday time! So good to recharge with family…
Congrats Rita - awesome!
🚨Job Alert: My department in UNSW Sydney is recruiting a teaching-only Lecturer in Biophysics. The lecturer will play a key role in the pedagogical development and delivery of courses and practicals in the new undergraduate (BSc) major in #Biophysics that we are launching from 2026. #AcademicBsky 🧪
🤔 What if we could detect disease from a single molecule before symptoms even appear? This isn’t just innovation. It’s a shift in how we understand, detect, and prevent illness. Molecular insights are unlocking a new era in human health. #innovation #lifescience #biophysics

The antihero in my story “Crisis Actors” uses cylindrical mirror anamorphism as an “encryption” technique [he’s not very bright], but I’d never seen it done with 3D objects rather than just flat images until I stumbled on this article about the sculptor Jonty Hurwitz.
