Startling that this is being broadcast in the absence of any public communications by @ukri.org
The academic community has a right to expect to be told first hand what is happening with response mode funding and what the immediate future looks like

Today's office - Symphony Hall for a bit of Strauss (Til, Tod and Heldenleben)
Birmingham Peregrine update - a chick! www.birmingham.ac.uk/about/our-ap...
New PhD opportunity! A project looking at how we can use information about accumulation of varied molecules in bacteria to improve solvent tolerance and industrial processes.
This project is aligned to our new exciting sLoLa project on antimicrobial accumulation

A livestream will show the nesting pair of peregrine falcons who have made their home at the University of Birmingham campus.
Join myself, Sara Jabbari and @jessicamablair.bsky.social to work out how we can make bacteria more tolerant of organic molecules such as biofuels and platform chemicals.
Funding is available for UK students - deadline is 1st May 2026, project starts in October 2026.
New paper! We have written a (hopefully) simple primer on microbial energy metabolism - how do bacteria harvest energy from their environment, and how does this impact their behaviour? www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...
Also covered by a piece in Chemical & Engineering News - cen.acs.org/pharmaceutic...

All cells need energy to perform their functions. This primer introduces energy metabolism in bacteria, with a focus on key pathways and examples from model organisms, while acknowledging that bacteri...
