Ok, I figured out how to create a Metallobiologists starter pack. I'll keep adding to the list as I find more, but please add your name here if I've missed you.

Summer, please never leave. Mostly so that all my weekend walks look like this (pics from Swaledale) but also because I still have so much to do before the new academic year starts lolsob.

I’m proud to join more than 30 colleagues today in sharing our analysis of potential risks from “mirror life”. We summarize our findings in a @science.org article, and in greater detail in a 300pg technical report:

Agree

Karrera Djoko @thecopperdoctor.bsky.social · Dec 12

Where does this nomenclature come from? I'm only aware of the IUPAC one (dinuclear is preferred).

If I have to sit through another meeting where students are referred to as "our target market", I might actually scream out loud instead of internally.

Yes, of course!

Karrera Djoko @thecopperdoctor.bsky.social · Dec 6

Yes, absolutely. I find these conversations really meaningful and encouraging (vs. the usual beancounting convos about REF, grant ££££, etc).

My guess is that this post is a joke to 50% of scientists and serious to the other 50%.

Good explanation of recent changes for efficiency:
No more academic boards of studies, each module can only have one summative assessment, modules with <10 students cancelled, removal of all double-blind marking.

The University is set to impose wide-ranging changes to modules, assessment and departmental structures in a bid to save money.
