Ready to go! Hangzhou for the Chinese Association for Laboratory Animal Sciences Congress. I’m here talking about all things Replacement and we’ve got a whole UK team including researchers and leaders from Oxford and Cambridge (Ewan Smith talking later on Mole Rats)

Different beverage, different mode of transport! Off to China then Australia (so… no choice really but to fly). Talking all things animal replacement in China then off to the International Proteoglycans meeting with @brookefarrugia.bsky.social ! Whoop!!!!

Totally fallen in love with Tromsø! Great discussions and enthusiasm for the future!

So…where are we off to today, little coffee and bonus chocolate (present from my daughter)? Off too @c19qmul.bsky.social for their organ-on-chip extravaganza!!! With @peptimatrix.bsky.social buddies

Go Jenny (Dr Jennifer Ashworth)! Fantastic presentation of her group’s work - multi-component characterisation of patient tissue and how to recapitulate this in in vitro models. Excellent work!

And we are off!!! @nc3rs.bsky.social making a meaningful difference. Rapid networking already over coffee. @peptimatrix.bsky.social

Makes me think about our @ukbiofilms.bsky.social group TBH (love you guys, but a bit terrified too)

Just so wrong…. Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve got ‘till it’s gone (etc.)

Stem Cell Glycobiology Lab @merrylabnotts.bsky.social · 12/09/2025

So… where are me and my coffee off to today? Looking forward to a busy day with @nc3rs.bsky.social and BBSRC talking about business innovation vouchers and how to support engagement between academia and industry to help the transition to animal-free in vitro models.

It was a great day! @nabalabuic.bsky.social @douglaspdyer.bsky.social @wellcometrust.bsky.social A great chance for a discussion about how we bring together all our specialities to build a useful matrix atlas - and what that should look like. Matrix assemble!

In 2024 we awarded almost £21k to 13 public engagement projects, reaching 3,000+ people across 17 events. Genevieve Barr explores the projects, from inspiring the next generation of scientists to creating resources for the community to use in their own 3Rs activities: nc3rs.org.uk/news/public-...

Hugely excited to meet the @mac4me.bsky.social team in Rotterdam for our kick-off meeting. Here with @peptimatrix.bsky.social and a whole interdisciplinary team ’opening new doors in cancer immunotherapy’ www.mac4me.eu

I’m hoping the PG community can do this too… I’m worried the GRC are too ’mainstream’ (?) to respond to the issue?

Real shame - particularly as the Italy meeting was a festival of giant leaps forward in understanding as international groups could share ideas x

I spoke with my US colleagues before cancelling. My reasons were exactly the same as yours and are unlikely to change until the government does. We can and will relocate our meetings to keep our colleagues safe and to protest! Diversity of view, background and experience is what feeds good science.

Donald Trump’s ‘war on woke’ is fast becoming a war on science. That’s incredibly dangerous. This this and more this! A topic of active conversation at the #GlycoGRC.

@aberuni.bsky.social Ok, you win. What a love trip over for the eldest’s offer holder day tomorrow. They were talking about the course all the way here and just arrived in time for this. Bloody well done Aber x

Grand location today for the @ukri.org BBSRC 30 year anniversary meeting. I must have been one of their first case PhD students and I’m still very grateful to hold funding from them now. Excellent discussions for the future.
