Smashing to introduce the Tom Duke Prize lecture at UCL to its 2024 recipient Julia Yeomans
Nascent wasp nest in shed. Fascinating.
Well, I’m excited…

I love this story. Though I note that the 17 hr journey back was shorter than the York-Naples train journey a couple of summers back with the missus. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

LA memories #USBPS. Thanks @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social for a super meeting!
Having super fun at US BPS in LA @biophysicalsoc.bsky.social Come to my emerging tech talk 7.50pm this eve to find out about awesome optical/magnetic tweezers with fluorescence we’ve built to drill down into single molecule DNA structural dynamics! @physicsoflifeuk.bsky.social
Finally got an award from the ERC… Easingwold Running Club, that is😉
Got it, I’ll drop you a reply
York’s Brass Monkey Half Marathon. 1:48:08 new pb
This is where I live
Super that York could host old Oxford chum Mark Howarth, expounding brilliant SpyCatcher applications; really innovative ways of seeing whole field of Engineering Biology through the lens of the interface between the physical and life sciences - UK has strength in depth @physicsoflifeuk.bsky.social
I don’t really qualify, but if you’d be interested in a piece articulating the exciting potential opportunities for Dutch and U.K. PoL researchers @physicsoflifeuk.bsky.social
to work together…
Super inaugural UK Condensates network meet last week in Durham. Brimming with passion. This is going to be inclusive, innovative and a must for #LLPS community. Subscribe to the mailing list and help to shape it www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa.e... @physicsoflifeuk.bsky.social @jrkumita.bsky.social
