The Cambridge Epigenetics Club is due to start again on Oct 28th with speakers Alistair Boettiger (Stanford) and Xiaoqi Feng (John Innes) - talks in the Biffen LT (Dept Genetics) from 1730 with cheese, wine & networking afterwards. We hope to see you there!
The incredible @annepurkiss photograhed our Head of Department in 2018 as a follow-up to her Royal Society exhibition. She now has an exhibition @NewHallArt titled Creative Connections: Portraits of Women Scientists and Artists until February 2020 admin.cam.ac.uk/whatson/detail…
Congratulations to our three MPhil students who passed their vivas and will return to our lab in two weeks as PhD students! 🥳👏

Sentences that can only be overheard in @GeneticsCam: "Your testes are beautiful, you could put those in a gallery" "Oh no, I washed my ovaries down the sink..." #overheardingenetics #germlinestemcells #drosophila
Dr Heidi Gardner was fed up with being told she "didn't look like a scientist", so she decided to smash some stereotypes. Watch #Loop tonight at 11.30pm bbc.in/2yKCQp0

I will start my own lab at the MRC-LMB, Cambridge, UK, next Jan. www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/group-leaders/… I am excited, and I am HIRING! Please spread the word! #MRC_LMB #LMB_PHD
scinote.net/blog/piece-lab… What piece of lab equipment are you? Our lab includes 2 centrifuges, an autoclave, 2 PCR cycler and a liquid nitrogen tank! 🧬
It was a great afternoon to celebrate the farewell of one of our students and realising how nice it is outside the lab!

Dolly (born 5 July 1996) was the first mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell. The technique used was according to the same principle that Nobel Laureate John Gurdon had used in his frog experiments, the results of which he presented in 1962. He received the 2012 #NobelPrize.
