Getting Down and Dirty

'Bio-cubed' Students search for genomes in soil

If you go down to the woods today….then it’s likely you’ll run into students on the MSc in Biotechnology, Bioinformatics and Biobusiness (or MSc Bio-cubed) as they take part in an exciting project to sequence their own choice of bacterial genome.

It’s a…

NC 500 Day 9 - the End of the Road

A great evening out last night to celebrate how well everyone has done on this trip, surprised we were sophisticated on Prosecco! We had a staggered start this morning, aiming to arrive at Inverness Castle around midday. The route was much nicer than I was expecting, once we climbed above…

NC 500 Day 8

 

First up, what great support from our team on the ride; Rona and Christine have driven the support vehicles to cope with forgotten kit, sudden purchases, distribution of sweeties and getting luggage to all the right hotels - brilliant work. Rob who did the lion’s share of the organising,…

NC 500 Day 7

When we wondered back to the hotel last night, the roads were full of police and their helicopter was flying over. We guessed that Harry and his new wife were coming for a secret honeymoon, but it turned out to be atomic waste movements.

Gathering after breakfast, bikes were…

NC 500 Day 6

More from the Yorkshire Correspondent

Clear blue skies from dawn visible from the pods this morning and a forecast of 21 degrees, light winds, later moderating. Well at least some of that was correct.

NC500 Day Four

More From the Yorkshire Correspondent

It may have only been instant porridge in a pot, but eating it on the verandah looking out across the bay was a pretty good start to the day. The weatherman said set fair, and it certainly was, clear, sunny, just a little wind and…

Breaking the Habit

Overall I am one of the last type of persons to consider doing the NC500 cycle tour for cancer research.  What I like to do is my research on the function of vitamin A in the brain, my teaching to enthuse the next generation of researchers and discoverers and, well,…

Wet Wet Wet - Day 3 of the NC500 Challenge

More from your Yorkshire correspondent....

We woke to the expected rain, which looked heavy and persistent. We dressed accordingly, waited for the teams who’d stopped sooner yesterday to come along, and off we set. It was immediately apparent that it was very cold, probably 8 degrees without the wind chill.…

NC 500 Day Two

From your Yorkshire correspondent...

Early start today as we hoped to get up and over the first big climb ahead of the traffic, as the road is narrow and tortuous. The staff at the hotel had produced an early breakfast for us, and at least one rider with a stronger…
