Disappeared from here for a couple of months (social media doesn't come to me naturally) and it seems the wave has dissipated... is anyone who isn't a social media manager still here?

Had the pleasure of chairing our Molecular and Nanoscale Physics group internal seminar at @physicsleedsuni.bsky.social today. Always good to celebrate success within the group and hear about the breadth of research going on. Today's talks covered topics from flow cytometry to polymer chemistry!

Enjoyed a day out of the office last week with this dynamic group of Yorkshire Postdocs. It was good to take some time to reflect on our values and strengths together. Excited for the next @prosperpostdoc.bsky.social day in York next month! #PostdocLife #AcademicNetworking
It was fantastic to meet our second cohort of the @prosperpostdoc.bsky.social programme last week at the beautiful Cloth Hall in Leeds. You can find out more about the cohort on our website: whiterose.ac.uk/what-we-do/w...

My first post! Hi science community 👋🧬
We have been trying to figure out the mechanistic mysteries about SMC motor proteins. They extrude our genome constantly into loops. We know that that's important. But how it works, is a matter of intense debate! Today, we report a piece of the puzzle:

Interesting to see scientists perceived as a unifying force in society. 🧪
Not sure exactly what to think about this. It seems that several of the hot button issues at the moment have a scientific aspect so we (scientists) need to be aware how our voices are heard.

I genuinely think a lot of journalists have their head in the sand about how they're seen. We are very busy vilifying social media when lots of people think we are even worse!
New data from RISJ found the public think journalists + news media cause more societal division than social media.

I remember when I was first told about DNA origami as an undergrad, it was introduced as a bit of a novelty that let you make smiley faces. I've since come to see how powerful it can be as a nanotechnology and a platform for nano/bio experiments.
I'm posting a series on classic papers in DNA nanotechnology and DNA computing on the @molpigs.bsky.social account. Ever wondered how DNA origami went from a silly face on the cover of nature to go-to nanoscale construction material? The story actually begins in 1982 with a little theory paper... 🧪
First up, Ned Seeman's 1982 "Nucleic Acid Junctions and Lattices", published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology. This was the first paper to propose that through sequence design it might be possible to create precisely-defined crystal lattices out of DNA. 🧬
