Netflix’s doc The Quilters is brilliant. At 30 mins I wish it had been longer. It follows men in a maximum-security prison who design, make and sew these intricate quilts for foster children. The care that goes into making them is so touching. An object they see as being with these children forever.

Really nice to see the structure of a TypeII RE, which I studied during my PhD. We had determined the enzyme mechanism and stoichiometry (academic.oup.com/nar/article/...) 20y ago, but it’s been a long wait for a structure. But the detailed mechanism (dimer of heterotrimers) still holds mysteries!

British scientists are “over the moon” to be back in the EU’s Horizon funding programme after a 3-year Brexit lockout. New data reveals they have been awarded about £500m in grants since re-entry. International isolationism never works well. 🧪🔬⚛️🔭 www.theguardian.com/science/2025...
