In this op-ed, we describe this as a Faustian bargain, in which we trade away what it means to be human & universities trade away their value www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

- Fellowship application unsuccessful! First of many I am sure. Might be worth looking to leave Liverpool - if anyone in my network is looking for lecturers/junior group leaders. Hit me up. Virology, informatics, sequencing, RNA mods etc. 🦠🧬🧑💻

- We have landed at Festival of Genomics! 🧬 First stop at Alida Bio! One of the companies to keep an eye out for if you’re interested in RNA mods… and if you’re not. Why?! Also big thanks to Jerome for giving me the special alida tube stand 🤩 favourite colour and everything! #FoG26 #RNAmods
- The future is RNome 🧬 New publication out today summarising the ECR experience of the Human RNome consortium meeting in Frankfurt last August! Thanks to coauthors @bennetthenzeler.bsky.social @ramibechara.bsky.social et al for getting this across the line!! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

- It’s happening again…. Used to be straight on this kind of message during the pandemic. Going back there is kind of difficult… how would you handle this… basically. Help. 🦠

- Reposted by RebeeThe scikit-bio paper in online in Nature Methods! Many thanks to our collaborators, community contributors and reviewers! We couldn’t have done it without you. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #Bioinformatics #OpenSource
- Congratulations again to the excellent @idb-virology.bsky.social for this amazing science communication piece. Please go and watch the videos and keep the vision alive! Yes it is the viral lifecycle being explained by roller skaters…

- THIS WEEK!!!!! Come learn about viruses 🦠😍 @antiviral-rskating.bsky.social @livuni-ismib.bsky.social @livuni-ives.bsky.social @britsciassoc.bsky.social
- Reposted by RebeeI am excited to share my graduate work in the Sabatini and @bartellab.bsky.social labs. Since their discovery, we have known lysosomes possess RNase activity; however, their substrates were not known. Surprisingly we find specific RNAs are targeted for degradation! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
- The human RNome project meeting report is now live! Prepared by myself and fellow ECRs @bennetthenzeler.bsky.social and @ramibechara.bsky.social Check it out 🧬 humanrnomeproject.org/2025-worksho... #RNAmodifications #MassSpec #nanopore
