Did my experiment work? No. But did I learn from it? No. But did it help me grow as a scientist? Also no.

Thoughts with the people of Izmir 🇹🇷 and Samos 🇬🇷. I still remember the terrifying experience of the 1999 Western Turkey earthquake of 7.6 magnitude. Dayan güzel Egem 💙

One of the most amazingly savage interviews you'll ever watch. She has no chill whatsoever. It's like watching someone's anxiety dream

The BBC are reporting that the data was in Excel but was indeed in rows (not columns, phew). HOWEVER, Public Health England used .xls format and not .xlsx which means they were limited to the pre-Excel-2007 limit of 65,536 (aka 2^16). Which is still breathtaking incompetence.

"In Europe, they live, they have forest cities, they're called forest cities. They maintain their forest, they manage their forest. I was w/ the head of a major country, it's a forest city. He said, 'Sir, we have trees that are far more - they ignite much easier than California'"

I’m getting very fed up with this use of students as a political football, being blamed for everything, as though somehow they are all irresponsible – rather than, hmm let me see, those libertarian demonstrators in London yesterday.

Terrible sci-comms from @OfficialUoM today. Their PR team went with sensational headline plucked from a line tucked away at the end of a modelling study on data trends, and so tomorrow half-a-million people will see this front page and wonder why they should bother with lockdown

Love, Death & Robots is an incredible sequence of 18 short films. They all display a unique vision of the future in different ways. The show is on #Netflix and is a must watch for #scienceficiton lovers. Here is a small preview to give you a little taste.. buff.ly/2GKqGlk

Happy to share my latest work. I use sequences previously identified as precursor peptides for RiPP clusters, either experimentally, or by computational tools to train a neural network that's able to identify putative precursors peptide sequences. (1/4) rdcu.be/bRdlT
