As of last week, I'm finally done with all corrections I'll ever have to make to my DPhil thesis. Among my favourite changes was the creation and inclusion of this cat-based graphical summary. Don't let anyone say you can't represent 3 years of research entirely using cats!

What are these cats saying about my work with sugar transporters? Come to poster B374 today at #bps2024 to find out 😺(and maybe take one home in sticker form - while supplies last!)

What do these cats have to do with @WestpaSoftware, and what am I using WESTPA for in my research? Come to my poster today at #BPS2023 (B341) to hear about my work on the transport cycle of SGLT sugar transporters!

Please come by for a chat! I'll be there during breaks throughout the day too!
Last year, @MDAnlaysis released a whitepaper outlining our proposed "MDAKits" -> github.com/MDAnalysis/MDAKit… For those at #bps2023, hear more at @HighSpeedMode's poster(B446) on MDA today But first, let's take a quick walk through MDAKits the idea behind them- with some cute cats!

Hello #compchem! We want to change the license of @MDAnalysis from GPLv2 to LGPLv3 . This means that you'll have more freedom in choosing your own license when you develop code that uses MDAnalysis. We want to get your thoughts! Details below 👇 #opensource #FOSS
