If the purpose of education is to score well on a test, we've lost sight of the real reason for learning.

A colourful start to 2023 🎇
Very surreal to see my posters at the entrance to our chemical biology labs @warwickchem - I had so much fun making them and it’s amazing to see them up!

Email I sent in response to @NatureComms´s request for me to act as a reviewer today (part 1 of 2).
#OpenAccess isn´t open if those of us in developing countries are economically excluded from publishing equitably.

2/ These editing protocols are very robust & easy to implement, taking advantage of efficient recombination in yeast, & enable multiple genes to be edited in parallel, streamlining the process. Read the paper: academic.oup.com/nar/advance…

1/Published in @NAR_Open, the @Challis_Group have developed a new technique for rapid cloning & editing of gene sets. Their method enables editing of genes sets from bacteria to be done more easily & rapidly than CRISPR/Cas9 & has a broad range of applications in bioengineering.
