Look at this beautiful CsCl gradient.

I’m lying, my gradient crashed. I lost my phages and I am going home.

Managed to nab a signed copy of Everything is Tuberculosis by @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social. Quite excited to read this.

Screening some mutant phages and can’t help but feel bad about this guy who:

1. Had his head burst (Red selection is where the head was supposed to be)
2. Tail tube broke in half

RIP unnamed phage. You will be missed.

Presented my work in the Science Graduate Showcase at the University of Sheffield. A bit subtle in design compared to my past posters but there’s always tomorrow. #phage

NCBI has the most sassy server I’ve ever come across. What do you mean that the error code is NO_ERROR? Real helpful NCBI.

Spending the last few days at my home and I can never get used to this view. The himalayan range in the background steals the show.

Pretty curious about the phage diversity here though.

Back at NISER to catch up with my old lab and friends. One thing that always amazes me is the sand art.

Found this absolute gem of an arrangement at Manchester Airport

You know you have a big dog when the bandana you got him from UK marked specifically for “large adult dogs” looks like this.

Time to bust out the ol’ towel and make a bandana out of it.

Successfully scaled the Win Hill in the Peak District while casually chatting about unkillable superbugs… ya’know… like normal people.

Managed to run ChimeraX on a Meta Quest VR headset and working with protein structures is a lot more fun now.

Not a cat but my dog was sleeping like this the other day.

Autumn has finally arrived at my home.

Isolated a phage tail in my plate while eating a donut in Newcastle.

iGEM Grand Jamboree is here… and we’re here! It’s been a great day of synthetic biology talks here at Paris!

Snapped this during a particularly clear night at Ruhr-Universität, Germany. It’s crazy what phone cameras are capable of nowadays.
