- How I wish Prof Struther Arnott was alive to tell the story about the DNA structure saga. He was privy to the drama played out. It was Randall who pushed Franklin out of KCL taking DNA research away from her. Franklin herself showed a low res image in a seminar to Watson.

- Oh! New York and New Yorkers, you are stellar.
- Need to try this in my next rejection formatmypaper.com
- A structure-based drug design conference at an impressive venue but more so with fantastic friends @gervasiolab.bsky.social @adrianmulholla1.bsky.social @rommieamaro.bsky.social Qiang Cui Matteo Dal Peraro #SBDD25
- Absolutely remarkable from my colleagues @ucl.ac.uk
- My dear friend Keshav Desiraju. passed away this day, four years ago. He was the force behind the Mental Health Act in India and the initiator of all the gutka bans that have/have not been implemented. You’re dearly missed my friend.
- LUSH
- Old Trafford stadium should be turned into an ice hockey rink.
- Amazed to find @eduroam.org at GVA. Anyone knows why an international airport would have that? So far the only airport that I have passed through that has it. Any one knows other airports that have eduroam?
- Publishing houses make millions, yet their platforms for reviewing are awful. Editorial Manager has to be the worst. What I don’t understand is why do you want me to register every time I get on your platforms @sciencedirect.bsky.social I refuse to engage anymore for reviewring.
- Peer Review sections are now my favourite part of the manuscript. Here is a nugget from deep dark editorial world of @natcomms.nature.com
- That is not true. Do you want me to put the email up here?
- The reviewers’ evaluations highlight substantial issues with both the methodology and overall impact of the work. This was conveyed to us without any comments from the reviewers. This is the level of peer reviewing transparency @chemicalscience.rsc.org Arbitrary and vague.
- Four professors, summer bbq and a garden. That what was the weekend about.
- Mahmoud Farshchian’s work will live forever on. Rest in peace Ustad.

- Our latest work out in @angewandtechemie.bsky.social on what happens to PETase functions at the Solid‐Liquid Interface. With excellent work by my PhD student Shuang Chen @ucllifesciences.bsky.social Paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
- Why is @rsc.org flagship journal @chemicalscience.rsc.org so poor in its editorship. It’s not even a top flight journal and has taken 4 months to get us our first set of reviews. Never reviewing or submitting again to this journal.
- Stellar line up for the @rsc.org Nucleic Acids Forum 2025 at The Burlington House. @drmikebooth.bsky.social opening the proceedings

- The frustration of working with β-lactamases is finding the ever growing disconnect between sequences, structures and literature. This is compounded when the ML algorithms are unable to account for insertions and deletions, which appear not as numbers but as alphabets. 1/3
- In our latest work, we look at thr structural basis of how Glucose transporters GLUT1 and GLUT9 differentiates between specific substrates. @ucllifesciences.bsky.social
- In our latest work, we look into how the dynamics of four very similar, and clinically important β lactamase enzymes from Burkholderia have evolved to generate very different substrate profiles. @ucllifesciences.bsky.social
- Our article in @chemicalscience.rsc.org registers as one of the most popular articles of 2024. The study on Sufex click chemistry was led by John Moses @cshlnews.bsky.social
- In our latest work, we combine MD with co-evolution analysis to deconvolute communities that explains existing data and predicts emerging hotspots. In @elife: doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

- I am the imposter speaker at the AI in Urological Cancer today. Trying not to embarrass myself.
- Got an email from @elife.bsky.social today saying they won’t be indexed by WoS form 2025 and hence will be without an IF, something that #elife set out to do from the onset. I still support the elife model but I also think inadequate/incomplete papers should not be given a VOR.
- Absolutely shocked to hear that Reading University is shutting down the Chemistry Department. What a delirious decision by the university. @christinecardin.bsky.social
