Super exciting to finally see my first, first author research paper out in the wild in @PLOSPathogens! Have a look at our analysis of how phenotypic variation between Devil Facial Tumours been directed by the differentiation state of their progenitor cell! journals.plos.org/plospathog…
After a wonderful almost 3 years in the @JGDPrendergast lab at @roslininstitute, I have sadly moved on to pastures new! I will miss all of my colleagues and friends but I am excited to start a new adventure!
An absolutely MASSIVE turn out for this yesterday! Such a lovely event and so much money raised for an essential cause. Thanks so much for your hard work organising this, Omar!
Organised a bake sale fundraiser for @UNICEF Children of Gaza Crisis Appeal at @TheDickVet @roslininstitute Easter Bush Campus.
We have raised £3,827.
A tremendous show of humanity on campus.

Exciting day at the inaugural Quantitative Biology Festival! 🌿 ed.ac.uk/roslin/people/quant… From learning about ongoing projects to engaging in fun activities and enjoying delicious food and drinks, it was a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow members @roslininstitute
This work was largely completed under quite difficult conditions, at the height of pandemic lockdowns and across several continents! It's great to see it finally out in the world!
Very proud of @AnneLise_Gerard and @ROwen_93 for this piece of work, investigating competition between two transmissible cancers in the Tasmanian devil - Evolutionary Applications onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… 1/5

#Terrorbirds, or at close relatives, lived in #Antarctica! This new report based on #Eocene #fossils from #SeymourIsland also suggests these birds played the role of apex predator after the #EndCretaceousExtinction.

The UK, US, and EU are fully complicit in Israel's genocide against the Palestinians.
I've never been more disgusted in all my life than what I've witnessed the past 3 months. Europe and N. America have shown their true racist, colonial, murderous, and corrupt ways. #Gaza

New African buffalo genome assembly and ~200 high coverage WGS samples from across Africa. Monumental effort to bring this together by @DrLiamMorrison and the team. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Had such a wonderful day at #ENGoGS23! So great to have a full day of talks aimed at early career researchers! Learnt so much and met so many new friends and colleagues!
