Hell, we found an intranuclear parasite that didn't even have its own ATP synthase, glycolytic pathway or any other obvious way to generate ATP.

If you haven't already read it I highly recommend "The Poor Had No Lawyers" by Andy Wightman [1]. It can be a struggle to convince people to read a book on the history of Scots property law but it is a really fantastic book.

2L of green tea can have as much caffeine as 1L of coffee, although exact amounts can vary massively depending on various brewing methods for each and the exact coffee or tea.

It isn't a charity as far as I can tell (or at least does not have UK charitable status): the only registered charity with Chagos in the name is the Chagos Conservation Trust[1]. This means that UK Chagos Support Association does not

There was recently an online mini-conference mostly about the MinIon (involving the CTO of Oxford Nanopore and a few of the researchers involved in the MinIon Access Program). People may be specifically interested in the first and second ta

Not sure that is totally fair, especially as Oyster allows you to go into negative balance over a journey as long as you have enough for the minimum fare on your card when you touch in.

I'm getting flashbacks to a long project where we had 4 centers testing different versions of a certain bit of kit (all 4 for TRL3-5, then a review selecting one for TRL6+). Feel like I could write a book on the bullshit that occurred

Ah I remember this paper - there was some pretty amusing back-and-forth sniping that emerged from it (ignoring the slightly more respectful alternative viewpoints and disputations at the time e.g Firn et al [1] and Trewavas' reply [2])

Hey now, British sockets are the best: integrated switch, grounded, fused plugs, bomb-proof, cable is flush to wall and its much harder to accidentally pull out the plug.

EasyJet is akin to Tesco Value - its shit but you generally know what you are getting. Ryanair on the other hand is like dumpster diving - you COULD get a cheap meal but if you aren't careful you'll get food poisoning.

I've had success shifting my bioinformatics students that want something graphical but with more of a statistical framework to Rstudio or minitab. You did remind me of this amusing paper from a few years ago though: http://

I'm a big fan of the Google Now cards that pop-up with live flight details and information like when I have to leave in order to get to check-in on time with current travel conditions. It seems to be getting this straight from my gmai

Using shift-click to open in a new window is a fairly standard behaviour in most browsers these days isn't it? Then again I guess it wasn't intuitive in this case. Edit: I should note that the above is actually a genuine question

This reminds me of an interesting article I read about Doctors being more likely to refuse cancer treatment - on the knowledge of trading quality of life for a shorter period rather than hanging on for longer. http://thehealthcareblog.com/

In the absence of any readily apparent data I'd posit length of holding a licence is most likely a better marker than age on the probability of an insurance claim. Considering the proof of age is via the driving licence which also has this

I was helping a friend move, unfortunately couldn't get insurance on the rental car without a huge excess due to being narrowly under 25. She had no issues. I've had a licence and been accident-free for 7 years longer... I had to physically

My other observation with the same corollaries is that UK students tend to be better at getting on with things as GENERALLY they have been given more independence and have been treated more as adults during their undergrads. US university

This is why I'm getting a bit annoyed with all the "visiting North Korea" stuff. You are directly funding the regime.
