Circadian clock control of ribosome composition promotes rhythmic translation and termination fidelity
Circadian clock control of ribosome composition promotes rhythmic translation and termination fidelity
Lamb et al. show that the circadian clock rhythmically remodels ribosome composition in Neurospora crassa. Clock-regulated incorporation of the ribosomal protein eL31 is required for rhythmic translation and translation fidelity, linking temporal ribosome remodeling to daily changes in proteome diversity.

Just received this lovely photo of our year 6 medics & 3 medical fellows from the @stcatharines.bsky.social MedSoc electives evening
They grow so fast! ❤️🩺
Seems just the other day that I was supervising them in first year physiology. Now they’re be my colleagues in less than a year!

Greatly enjoyed the @stcatharines.bsky.social MedSoc electives evening. All 6 years of our lovely students spent an evening together hearing what our 6th years did on elective: from refuge camps in Athens and Calais, to GP in remote Peruvian villages, and high-tech surgery in the US and Singapore

Glad I have my EU citizenship (as a dual national). Will keep striving to get it returned to my fellow Brits who had it taken away from them by a proportion of their compatriots based on lies and petty nationalism 🇪🇺🇬🇧
✅ the euro
✅ EU citizenship
✅ cross-border cooperation
✅ common foreign and security policy
These are some of the things the Maastricht Treaty paved the way for.

All of these look great. The @thecimr.bsky.social one in Feb half term—Inspiring Scientists—is in my home department. Each CIMR lab offers a project and the students present their result in @stcatharines.bsky.social at the end of the week. Looking forward to 1 or 2 of the students being in May lab.

The university, quite rightly,would never allow such extravagance and I’m too cheap to spend so much anyway.
