Afternoon lesson for H now in session. 🐎🐎🐎
Not seen a wrapper from the nags today.
Cheltenham week has arrived.
Peaky wankers takeover in New Street in full swing.
How is a clumber the best representation of a gundog, let alone BIS at crufts
Showing rules are weird. Let’s pick the fat dog and the fluffy one as back up.
I’ll be sticking with the HPRs thanks.
We found a viral Trojan Horse: a virus can hide inside another virus.This one surprised us: deltaviruses don’t just borrow a helper virus. They can travel inside it.
A literal Trojan Horse “virus-in-a-virus” route into cells. 🤯 Kudos to 1st author @viroscope.bsky.social and co-authors !
True, Mitchell has done wonders with the Roses.
I like Razor too, can’t help but feel he was short changed with the ABs.
1 - Shaun Edwards
Won’t leave France, can’t blame him. I’d rather live there too.
2 - Johann van Graan
Doing a job at Bath, some question mark on his Munster/SAF time mind.
All others aren’t available/wouldn’t. So the pool is thin.
As we’ve previously discussed though. Basing your game on kick/chase (I.E., luck) isn’t working and something radical is needed as tinkering as shown today served up another steaming heap of bollocks
Let’s be honest, that England result isn’t surprising given recent form for both teams.
I can’t say anyone, particularly the ABEs, expected the Scottish game to go the way it did however.
Credit where it’s due, Italy fully deserve that having knocked on the door the last few years.
Quite frankly though it’s embarrassing.
SB is done. Clear out some of the old stock and blood in what we can before the next WC.
Gone by the morning. Grim.
I think this is something we should think about for sure! 😃
This study is fascinating.
Coupled with metabolites modulating the epigenome, there’s an entire field of transcriptional regulation coming soon.
Wonder how viruses make use of this 👀
Pls re-post: My department @oxfordbiochemistry.bsky.social are recruiting for several new faculty positions (links below). Broad search in molecular biology/biochemistry, across prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Interested in understanding life at the molecular level, this job might be for you!

Spurs going down after they tried to breakaway with the selfish 6 for the European super league is without a doubt piss funny.
They absolutely deserve it.
Another game ruined by piss poor officiating and play acting.
VAR can get in the bin.
Shipping the wife off for a meal out with the in-laws and I’ll put H to bed.
Peaceful evening to watch the Leeds game.
Very interesting absolutely!
Take home, Wigan is shit.
Three students in one day asking how best to move into virology.
The propaganda is working.
#LoveVirology
The bias in reffing for the selfish 6 has never more evident than at ER this evening.
FA crusade against the peacocks alive and well.
This is tremendous work.
But I’d like to see the same study in cats.
Specifically my Bengal Luna.
The next big cancer boom is oropharyngeal in men. HPV is already endemic, vaccines are gender-late, and there’s zero screening for half the population. While you meme about “throat goat” culture, oncologists are quietly booking 40-year-olds for tonsillectomies. onlinelibrary.wiley....
It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Professor Jeff Cole. An esteemed academic, Jeffs research on bacterial adaptation to oxygen and nitrosative stress made a lasting impact on the field. He mentored nearly 60 doctoral students, our thoughts are with his family, friends & colleagues
I am deeply saddened by Jeff's passing. Jeff lived and breathed microbiology, and was still very much part of the microbiology community in @imibirmingham.bsky.social until a few weeks ago. He was supportive to students and staff and will be sorely missed by many, here in Birmingham and elsewhere
Suspect we’ll see significant changes in the next round. Would be insanity not too!
Whatever identity SB is trying to install, he needs to pick players for positions instead of this idea of 23x utility players.
Disagree with the lions sentiment, Ireland took more to Oz and there was no sign of fatigue (appreciate a no. are not in the squad)
Back row is crying out for a specialist blindside, not 3x open sides.
I’d rest Ford, he is too predictable atm and not taking ball to the gainline enough for me.
