New paper! With Emma Beniston. Some bits of the 'flu A genome are subject to more constraint than others - which bits, and what can we learn about the virus from them? doi.org/10.1371/journa… 🧵1/7
Superb week off up in highlands w resident otters, deer, abundant bird life & spectacular scenery 😍 My out of office read that I would only respond to cute animal pics- 5 ppl sent me some! Made post-holiday inbox onslaught much more bearable- thank you, you know who you are!
Earlier this year, Professor Paul Digard spoke with Science about Roslin's Bird Flu work, misinformation and control of global diseases. edin.ac/444lHEQ #Birdflu #USDA #PaulDigard #Influenza #GainOfFunction #AvianFlu
Advice for scholars: next time you lecture on Kant and revolutions at “Downing” (@DarwinCollege) Cambridge, make sure your hair is neatly tied and that you’re not blonde. Or else your research impact will be on the @spectator libido section.
Love it - @JasminKParis has been asked to start the @LondonMarathon after her Barkley marathons triumph 👏
Super postdoc @colinpsharp from @GauntLab showing the importance of genomic compositional bias in IAV replication and polymerase functions! What a day and what a talk! 🔥
We are sad to announce the death of Professor Peter Higgs, who has passed away at the age of 94. edin.ac/43Qslyo
Aaaaaand here we go! Incredible presentation of the first of the @roslininstitute virologists Hou Wei Chook from @GauntLab currently at #MicroSoc24 starting off with non-canonical genes in Rotavirus! #microbiologysociety
Congratulations to Dr Alex Borodavka who receives The Colworth Medal in 2025! @AlexBoRNA's outstanding research incorporates an imaginative combination of state-of-the-art interdisciplinary approaches to understand the molecular virology of multi-segmented RNA viruses.
Looking forward to catching up with the virologists at #microbio24 next week! I will be sticking around until the bitter end, as I am giving the penultimate talk on Thursday...
As a blind woman I frequently experience hostile & bizarre behaviours from men. My visual impairment wasn’t obvious before I used a white cane or guide dog so I’ve absolutely experienced the specific shift of behaviour towards my disability. Here are two recent examples 🧵
One week on, still feeling super happy! Thanks and respect to those I shared miles with on the trails, especially John, Damian, Ihor, Sebastian, Greig and Jared – you made the impossible possible. To Laz and Carl, thank you for your vision, and my chance to try. 1/2
It’s incredible there were women-only 6-day spectator races in the 1870s through the early 1900s, esp in light of the Olympics not having women’s 800m after 1928 (~reinstated in 1960). @UltraRunningHis
🐥 Last few days to submit an abstract for talks at ARS 2024 🥚 Abstracts from all fields of research involving avian species are welcomed and we especially encourage submissions from ECRs and those working in developmental biology.
Thread of general #BM100 thoughts from this year. To start, how were there so many finishers? Not intentionally being a smartass, but, well, it's because there were so many finishers. Had we all been working alone, there might have been 1-2 finishers if even that. (1/10)
Managed to capture @JasminKParis talking about her history making finish at the Barkley @BBCNews this evening (no, I am not going to stop talking about this...ever 😁) #bm100 #smalleuropeanwoman
Absolutely salute Jasmin Paris, first woman to finish the Barkley Marathon. This is one of the greatest sporting achievements ever. The whole running community salutes you Jasmine Paris #legend #running #barkleymarathons #motivation
Redefining what is possible.
😭😭😭😭 I’m not crying you are

An... interesting... moment in time to talk with @guardianscience about influenza (recorded with a nose stuffed up with a cold, for added effect - thank you for editing any sniffs out!)
From birds, to cattle, to … us? Could bird flu be the next pandemic? – podcast theguardian.com/science/audio/…
Avian flu H5N1 story in cattle starting emerge - does indeed look like a single origin cattle outbreak and if emergence in Dec is robust, probably lots of opportunity for geographical spread (not much metadata available to be sure of this though)
Here's a visual of the US H5N1 "Cattle clade", HA plus two internal genes. Strongly suggests to me there was single origin, at least for these sequences. Possibly in late 2023/early 2024.

Been a great last couple days getting to present at the @roslininstitute annual PGR conference and seeing the awesome range of research on display! Very happy to have won best MSc poster 😊
@rita_strack The Forbidden City and Summer Palace are amazing. Definitely need to see those. I also saw the Great Wall at Badaling and that was very cool!
Super stocked about this and thank you all so much for voting. It was a cracking couple of days of amazing science, really proud to be a part of this community of phenomenal scientists!
We were pleased to have Christine Middlemiss, UK Chief Veterinary Officer, deliver this year’s Charnock Bradley Lecture at our PGR Conference. Congratulations to all poster winners and runner-ups, and to our final year talk winner and Iggo Prize recipient, Federico de Angelis.
Next time you have one of those days where you’re frustrated and thinking, “Why am I having such a hard time with this thing I’m normally very good at?” I want you to remember that this is a Picasso.

Remember kids, if someone says your paper has too many details and that you should remove them, there's a poor grad student trying to replicate results from a publication with barely any information
Petition to put £50/year into every grant application to support @Wikipedia. If you think world-leading scientists aren't speedreading 3-5 wiki articles 1 hour before their lectures, you're wrong.
