Signing the Royal Society's Charter Book (created in 1663) earlier this month was a very moving experience. It contains the signatures of every other person we have learned about in school science lessons, and there was strong sense of "why on Earth am I here...?" Thank you so much to my team! 🥹

Legendary myosin researcher Jim Sellers retires after many years of making significant contributions to the field and being an unfailingly generous to colleagues - alway sharing materials, insights and wisdom. A symposium honoring Jim will be held in Sept. www.nhlbi.nih.gov/events/2026/...

This week's #FluorescenceFriday may be blurry, but it's no less fabulous! Our first ever transgenic fish in Bath 💃. Credit to Cora for capturing this perfect moment of science joy!

NASA has unveiled one of the closest images ever captured of Jupiter—and the detail is truly stunning. CREDIT:NASA

Sorry for the cliché: not sure how to avoid it... I am very honoured to join such an illustrious list of previous winners And – of course – the credit largely belongs to the fabulous people I have been lucky enough to work with @dunnschool.bsky.social and earlier @mrclmb.ac.uk

A fascinating meeting on molecular motors in Alpbach! Just on day 1, lots of food for thought (and great walks and skiing)

Sometimes EM shows weird things...what in the name of the Lord is this?

At the RVC we are grieving the death of the Structure & Motion Lab's creator, and stalwart comrade, Professor Alan Wilson FRS, from a plane crash in Namibia on Wednesday. He was a giant in comparative biomechanics and an amazing scientist. I'm still reeling. It is utterly shocking and deeply sad.

Postdoc job alert in the Crick Institute in London. Are you interested in the actin cytoskeleton? I am looking for a postdoc to examine the cellular, developmental or physiological role of Arp2/3 iso-complex driven actin polymerisation. Multiple aspects available. crick.ac.uk/WayPostdoc2026

2nd postdoc job alert in the Crick Institute in London. Project will examine the role of motors & the cytoskeleton (actin, septins and microtubules) during vaccinia virus egress using biochemical, structural & cellular approaches + live cell imaging. spread the word. crick.ac.uk/WayPostdoc20...
