As Israel have been allowed to compete in Eurovision 2026, the UK must follow in the footsteps of Ireland, Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands and boycott the competition.
The world's largest live music event cannot be used to whitewash Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

If you don't turn graduation into an iconic photoshoot then what's the point in doing 4 years of a PhD?

The unintentional conference poster jumper is back for #Microbio25. It started out as a complete accident but due to popular demand in the lab it will now become a @microbiologysociety.org tradition for poster presentations. Always a great conference with brilliant science and friendly faces

Today we updated streptomyces.org.uk/strepstrains... with lists of useful Streptomyces strains and plasmids we have @johninnescentre.bsky.social and details of how to request them.

My talking points in recent interviews, please use as you see fit:
1.Every $1 in NIH funding returns ~$2.50 to the economy.
2.Every $1B in cuts from NIH extramural = 7500 lost employees, just in science.
3.These don't include priceless improvements in health.

So pleased to see this preprint out, hopefully coming to a journal near you soon...
Redox control of antibiotic biosynthesis in Streptomyces.
Remarkable work led by @katienoble241.bsky.social and Rebecca Devine demonstrates why antibiotic biosynthesis is often switched on in solid cultures and off in liquid.

Redox control of antibiotic biosynthesis
Streptomyces bacteria make diverse specialised metabolites that form the basis of ~55% of clinically used antibiotics. Despite this, only 3% of their encoded specialised metabolites have been matched ...

Hi bluesky! I'm Katie a post doc in @matthutchings.bsky.social lab at the John Innes Centre. I currently work on regulation of natural products from Streptomyces, with a focus on two-component systems. Also a lover of cats, climbing and the outdoors, so hoping to build things up over here #SciSky
