Whilst Simon, Joni and Lucy were in Southampton, Dave, Andrew and David were joined by Steve Busby on trip to the Mechanisms of Microbial Transcription Gordon Research Conference. David gave a talk about his work on CarD and DNA supercoiling, and Andrew presented a poster on his discovery of coupled promoter-terminators. The picture was taken in Ogunquit on the Maine coastline on the way back to Boston.
Last week many of us were away at conferences. Simon, Joni and Lucy attended the 3rd UK Mobile Genetic Elements workshop in Southampton (organised by Franklin Nobrega). Simon gave a talk about his work on transposition in Acinetobacter baumannii. Joni and Lucy stole the show at karaoke.
