Congratulations to @AlexBoRNA who presented the 2025 Colworth Medal Lecture today! Alex discussed how his work positions viral replication organelles as tractable systems for dissecting the biophysical principles underpinning RNA selection and turnover #BiochemAwards

What an amazing feeling having a cohort of Biotechnology students @cebcambridge applaud after my last lecture of the Term! Moments like this remind me why I love teaching every bit as much as doing research.

BA has just demonstrated yet another level of incompetence @British_Airways - 6 hours kept on a plane bound for Montreal, kicked out all passengers at midnight at the airport without accommodation and any support offered.

Thank you @ListerInstitute for the two fantastic days of excellent science. Excited to join this wondeful and friendly community!
2024 #ListerFellow @AlexBoRNA will use Lister Prize funding to investigate how certain disease-causing RNA viruses organise their unusual segmented chromosomes. #ListerAM
