Spending the last few days at my home and I can never get used to this view. The himalayan range in the background steals the show. Pretty curious about the phage diversity here though.

Back at NISER to catch up with my old lab and friends. One thing that always amazes me is the sand art.

Being back in India has rejuvenated my hatred towards high beams and people driving with high beams in the middle of the night. I had forgotten how annoying those are.

I can't see these names being adopted in the short to medium term. I certainly won't be insisting on their use. Just keep in mind that creation of new names doesn't formally ban old ones. So whatever facilitates clearest communication is best. www.science.org/content/arti...

You know you have a big dog when the bandana you got him from UK marked specifically for “large adult dogs” looks like this. Time to bust out the ol’ towel and make a bandana out of it.

Successfully scaled the Win Hill in the Peak District while casually chatting about unkillable superbugs… ya’know… like normal people.

Managed to run ChimeraX on a Meta Quest VR headset and working with protein structures is a lot more fun now.

iGEM being a big enough deal to advertise in the Paris airport feels like a pretty big deal

Final judging presentation tomorrow from iGEM Sheffield at 9:30AM. Had to stay up all night fixing up the presentations but it’ll be all over soon. 🤞🏻

Attacking the Internet Archive is just vile and disgusting, especially for these “freedom loving” hackers. I wouldn’t be surprised if some big publisher was behind all this. www.theverge.com/2024/10/9/24...

Snapped this during a particularly clear night at Ruhr-Universität, Germany. It’s crazy what phone cameras are capable of nowadays.

It seems to be a good week for biotech after a series of bad ones. Almost $600M investment in Emergent, Genespire, Amgen and more. The last few weeks may have made me sick but it’s all compensated now.

Had a great lab away day yesterday in the Peak District. A fairly casual one this time, focussing on research funding followed by an extended lunch in a lovely pub as the weather was too bad for a hike

About time someone sued these publishers for essentially making an utter disastrous mess out of academic publishing while making a crap ton of profit. www.highereddive.com/news/6-major...

Quite an interesting approach. It looks like a complex system but highly efficient. Can’t wait to see if I can try it our lab with phages other than those of E. coli.
