1/ Just read through the @matthewclifford AI Action Plan now. Tl;dr: it's great but here are a few things that stood out to me as someone interested in AI for Science and sovereign compute and data capability. A thread: 🧵
1/ Today the Prime Minister published my AI Opportunities Action Plan for the UK and committed to implement all its recommendations. A quick thread on why this is important, what we need to do now - and how you can help

Amazing to see @MaxGantz_ and team using MinION in the Peruvian Amazon to study the gut microbiome of the ocelot! A fantastic example of how portable, real-time DNA/RNA sequencing can drive impactful ecological studies. #AnythingAnyoneAnywhere #10YearsON
After years in preparation @MaxGantz_ and I are finally back at @hojanueva in the Peruvian Amazon. Together with Dr @sjzwicker, Dylan Singer and team of resident researchers we are investigating the gut microbiome of the ocelot by @nanopore sequencing !🐅💩🧬

Now out in @NatureComms! 🤩 "Plakoglobin is a mechanoresponsive regulator of naive pluripotency" I can't express how excited I am to see it published! I think I now have more questions than answers, but I guess that's good when doing science! 😇 nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

We've written a perspective on a new study by @MAMdayIndayOut that helps explain why some viruses (measles) don't evolve to escape immunity but others (influenza) do. Provides some clues relevant to future for #SARSCoV2 as well: cell.com/cell-reports-medici… Here is a recap: (1/n)

I want to sum up the last two days in vaccine news: We got two more vaccines that work. I know, the variants complicate things, but this is still EXCELLENT news. Looking forward to J&Js prime-boost data.

Super exciting new study showing SARS-CoV-2 recruits a haem metabolite to evade antibodies to the N-terminal domain of Spike – all started from a curious observation: colour change in purified protein... medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

We’re in a new year and we have also entered a new phase of this pandemic. So I thought I’d start off the new year with a quick catch-up thread on the UK variant B.1.1.7 and where we are at in this pandemic.
