Perfect example of all the wrong ways to write Gram-negative found just now while marking project reports. Does it mean these bacteria have negative mass?…

This week I went back to being student - and it was great! Fantastic to attend #cryoEM course at eBIC, co-organised with @astburycentre.bsky.social! I learned a lot and also realised my #proteincrystallography expertise are useful here too ;) can’t wait to apply what I learned!

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? Think I'd be ok. Can't think of a better option, actually ;)
