Well here’s an exciting opportunity! Who wants to spend 5 years working on S-acylation as part of a fantastic multidisciplinary team? #acylation #cellbiology #glasgow www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DNB111/r...

My esteemed colleagues will buy you a drink!

This month is Heart Month! Professor Will Fuller explains what his research is about. Will Fuller’s research group works on cellular and molecular mechanisms that control normal physiology in the heart, and how these things stop working properly to cause disease. (1/4)

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

Soooo excited to share this, just published. www.nature.com/articles/s41.... It started as a crazy ‘Friday afternoon’ experiment and just… worked. And kept on working. We fused a #nanobody to a #thioesterase. This delivers the thioesterase to a target and specifically depalmitoylates this protein

Why have you changed dozens of instances of ‘alpha1C’ in our manuscript to ‘alpha1 C’? It isn’t a unit. It was right the first time.

Daybreak on the morning run 😍

Frozen hair, frozen eyebrows, frozen everything on Beinn Udlamain and Sgàirneach Mhòr today! First hill of the year. Great to be out!

A day making music in a beautiful location. Saint Seans and Strauss and an appreciative audience!

Two papers accepted in one week caps a remarkable year of success. There have been difficult and fallow years in my career. This has not been one of them and I will celebrate that! Cheers! 🎉☃️🎄

www.ukri.org/news/bbsrc-i... Well, this is very exciting. A welcome boost to S-acylation research in the UK. Very much looking forward to working as part of a fantastic team

Give us your acclaim. Or don’t. It won’t really matter either way. They used to pretend there was a vote. Now they don’t even bother with that #fifa #corrupt www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Community sense check required… Reviewer asked us to show using proteomics that our new reagent doesn’t have off target effects. In a whole cell proteome, expression of one protein (our reagent) has changed. Reviewer: now you need to look at proliferation and viability assays. Feels unreasonable?

Exciting opportunity for a really cool PhD project! www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate...

Lab Christmas party! 🎉 🥳

Tentsmuir beach, December sunshine 😍

I love teaching in this space. Millions of times better than the lecture theatres I endured during undergrad days. Now I just have to hope the students turn up ready to hear about #lipidrafts

Our first post on Bluesky - the beautiful Cloisters and their twinkling string winter lighting @uofglasgow.bsky.social Follow us to read about the amazing research stories and projects being undertaken across our campuses.

One week on here and am already connected to a much bigger network than I managed in the other place. And no bots! #betterplace

May be a bit premature, but here is the Starter Pack I am trying to populate for #IonChannel research. Ping me and I’ll add you obviously! (Or to be removed) go.bsky.app/6taxHfx @jgenphysiol.bsky.social @auditorynerves.bsky.social @plesslab.bsky.social @rainbowlabuol.bsky.social

Ah, the annual magic of lab Christmas. This year they wrapped my office with me still inside it.

The annual Christmas decorating of the lab has started. There are lights everywhere. I’m in my office and all I hear is the sound of decorations being fixed to my door. #sendhelp

Paper is ready to resubmit 9 months to the day since I first clicked ‘submit’. This has been quite a labour of love that I will be excited to share (soon, please!)

www.theguardian.com/technology/2... Interesting take in here… do all social media algorithms inevitably mean those that shout loudest end up getting the most attention? Will every platform eventually just collapse in on itself like X?

Well, this is exciting. A 5 year postdoc position in my lab. Do ion channels appeal to you? What about calcium? This is going to be such a fun project!👇 my.corehr.com/pls/uogrecru...

Ok, trying to bring my community back together... I created a starter pack for lipids and membrane protein aficionados! Feel free to share, add and distribute, so we can come together again! 😍 go.bsky.app/AEeXh86
