I was delighted to host Stephen Gray @genomedymanics.bsky.social at our Institute of Medical Sciences seminar series @uniofaberdeen.bsky.social, really enjoyed his excellent talk #meiosis4eva

Just rescued a plasmid I had frozen down as E. coli stock 10 years ago, did a midi-prep with a kit older than 8 years, and diagnostic restriction digests with enzymes >10 years past their best-before date. Worked perfectly, sometimes thriftiness pays off

Is off to Oxford for some (non-) essential xmas-shopping and (more importantly?) to examine an MSc thesis
