Love the optics here - see the reflection!

We are welcoming a lot of people to @ei-science.bsky.social getting great data on their own biological systems for prelim data for grants.

It’s nice to have a greta space to welcome them to!

Is there an #smFRET experiment you’d like to try? Ping me here!

Awesome time celebrating with my family - carting then steak.

Ok people - I’ve not been to the cinema in a while - but was stunned at the price for this little lot… any guesses?

It’s happy hour on @ei-science.bsky.social

Bring your ticket and see you there!

We are ready for action at booth 410 at #BPS2025

Come talk to us about how you could get single molecule data from a benchtop instrument in your lab!

No prizes for guessing where me and our Leas engineer are!

Well actually - we could stretch to a ticket for our Happy Hour on Tuesday 6 pm - free drinks on @ei-science.bsky.social

See you all soon at #BPS2025

Fantastic visit to Oxford today - great viva and then extended discussions about Science Park space and other @ei-science.bsky.social opportunities!

So pic 1.

However - @crosscountryuk.bsky.social - 20 min delay into Birmingham New St so missed connection.

Pic 2…

GRRRRRRRRRRR

Great to meet with business leaders across the region to discuss how to support scaling and growth.

Two key challenges identified for the local ecosystem were:

1) C-suite and board level talent
2) Physical Infrastructure

Hopefully British Business Bank, SYMCA, @innovateuk.bsky.social can help!

Home. And now lying nest to this one… hope it is a nice surprise for him when he wakes up!

Back in Blighty! (That’s the UK if you didn’t know).

No real sleep on the place despite an empty seat next to me - but seats were SO hard. I must be getting old!

So looking forward to being home with my family…

And sleeping in my own bed.

About to take off in the snow out of #ALB - first stop Atlanta - then arriving Manchester UK tomorrow morning.

I’ve had a brilliant time in the US bit am really looking forward to being at home with my family…

Just heading home after a fantastic visit at the US Department of Health, Wadsworth Centre with among others @sianowen.bsky.social.

What a fantastic, supportive and exciting environment for research!

Glad to be able to talk about how single-molecule approaches will benefit your research!

That’s a wrap for #SMB2025

What a fabulous meeting this is.

So much great science, and a chance to speak with friends and collaborators in the amazing surroundings of the Aspen mountains.

Now on to New York!

It’s great to be here as both a scientist and a sponsor!

Great science, great skiing, great community!

So many great conversations with people about the power of single molecule approaches across a wide range of applications.

Now time to write my talk…

Happy Christmas!

Family and food - two things I love and am very grateful for.

This year we go together we my wife’s extended family (30 of us across 4 generations), in a villa in Belgium.

The food was a team effort but I was responsible for the meat - lamb crown - controversial!

But tasty!

Just getting all my ducks in a row for an Exciting US trip in January.

Hopefully I’ll see some of you at the #SMB2025 Aspen meeting @uwmadisonrna.bsky.social @alicepyne.bsky.social

Looking forward to catching up with the wider #SingleMolecule community
