We had a great time @BeCuriousLeeds this weekend! ~180 budding scientists visited our stall, matching up custom-made base pairs and using our ribosome wheel to turn their code into a (key)chain of amino acids. @ScienceLeeds @UniversityLeeds #publicengagement #ribosomes (1/2)

(1/2) This week we celebrated one year of RiboCode! It has been a busy year across the team. As well as an exciting 12 months in the labs, we held our launch event, ran an impact workshop, kicked off our ECR journal club, delivered several outreach activities and lots more.

The team then discussed the blurred lines between specialised ribosomes empowered by ribosome-associated factors and RNA-binding proteins recruiting specific mRNAs to the ribosome. If you have any tips for our budding journal club or any paper suggestions, get in touch! (2/2)

Journal club tips? Our fantastic ECR team have established a monthly @RiboCode journal club, taking turns to discuss a paper of interest. This month, @Ribo_Karl led the discussion on this paper by @SigmaJuly et al. (1/2)

We are fortunate to be supported by an inspiring board of scientific advisors from academia - inc Prof Alan J Warren from @Cambridge_Uni, pictured here at our kick-off meeting this month - and industry. (1/2)
