I had so much fun at the Midlands Biophysics Network meeting today! Great science, wonderful people. Thank you for the invitation!

What does climbing the #MartiniTower and enzyme catalysis have in common?

@BiophysK nailed it in her keynote at #Midlands #Biophysics Network @UoNresearch: not all enzymes work at the same speed, just like climbers!

I'm slowly switching to the other site 🦋
If you're there, let me know, so we can stay connected :)

So excited to see our paper on force generation by controlled disassembly in a biomimetic system (imitating actin filaments and microtubules), now out in Nature Nanotechnology: nature.com/articles/s4156…
Huge congratulations to all authors, especially @LuisPantaleone!

Couldn't be prouder to have been voted teacher of the year in the Chemistry program for this academic year! A real honour to have been chosen by the students.

Struggling to characterise samples using biological nanopores? Do you need a stable membrane environment for your protein? So excited to see this preprint online! A systematic study in which @EdoVreeker finds hybrid lipid-polymer membranes suitable for almost any nanopore.
