Hi
Link to my scientific paper on K-Ras, a protein that is most predominately found in pancreatic cancer when mutated.
The technique is based on using Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. This technique can be used detect structural and dynamical changes at an atomic level.

GBR Gap summit 2014
Hey everyone
Hope you are well and good. There is going to be a meeting for the top 100 young scientist leaders in March-april 2014. This is an exicting opportunity for any young scientists wanting to contribute and discuss the important issues scientists face today and in the future. The summit is designed to inspire young people and support the next generation of leaders to ensure the sustainability and growth of the global bio-economy Its a chance for young scientists to network with the leaders in science now!
The event will focus on several important topics in biotechnology including;

I think it might be quite good to have a small discussion here on what you think are the real problems and challenges. Just for fun!
Let me know what you think

Fastbleep science revision
Hey guys
I came across this website; fastbleep biology. It has short descriptive texts on biology, chemistry and physics topics for Alevel and undergraduate students. These short texts on selective topics are designed for revision notes, may be useful for you.
In addition, it also contain revision notes for medical students.
You can also write your own science topic if you feel fastbleep has not cover your topic, or you think you can improve on a science topic already on the website.
Check it out! its a useful revision tool

Freshers week
Hey guys
This week has been a hectic and very busy week for Manchester. Freshers and returning undergraduate students in Manchester. The last few months have been very nice on the roads and in shopping malls, libraries and on public transport but now that the freshers back, this place is live 24/7.
Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining about freshers entering Manchester. In fact, if anyone who is a fresher, Welcome to Manchester. I am sure you will have a fab time at university as much as I enjoyed my undergraduate. However, it now takes twice as long on the bus, the roads are packed, there is an enormous queue for food at the canteen. Shopping in the local supermarket now takes twice as long and all the toilet rolls are sold out :-)
Generally speaking, the place feels more like a community now with students returning. Everyone seems to be in a cheeri mood which makes me smile in the mornings too. Just last night, I was talking to a completely random girl studying English and Spanish. Talking on the bus to strangers is normally a no no but students know no bounds and its actually quite refreshing to talk to a nice and friendly stranger.
Going out in Manchester will be more lively so I suppose the more the merrier. Local business seem to be benefitting from the student influx and I have also been picking up a few good student deals myself. Fresher's goodies are being given away at the Manchester student union.
All I can say is, welcome to those students new to Manchester and welcome back returning students. The town has been quiet without you guys!

Work experience/opportunities
Hey Folks
Today I received some great news that I have been accepted into a secondary job position as an editor of a charitable organization, who aim is to write articles and promote science & medical professions within schools. The level is mainly aimed at GSCE and A Levels. I am excited about this opportunity and it has got me thinking about what other secondary roles is possible during your PhD.
Obviously you don't want to do anything extra that hinders your PhD work but you wouldn't mind boosting a bit of your income.
The jobs market is increasingly competitive these days and obvious qualifications/experience may not be enough to land the job you want so badly. Below are a few suggestions from me as to where I think you can gain that bit more of an advantage over others.
Demonstrating opportunities
Most universities will have this opportunity for PhD students to spend 3 or 4 hours demonstrating for undergraduate labs. For some reason, I had this idea before I started doing it of running experiments for undergraduate students while they sit in the labs eating and drinking. The dream seems a bit horrible but in reality, they are a lovely bunch and you can easily chat with them about science (and other things) whilst taking a break from your PhD project and earning a bit of cash.
Universities jobs
Universities are always advertising for jobs, especially over the summer break. Most of them will be working at a bar or at the student union shop. The hours and times are very flexible and most of the jobs are run by former students for students. Jobs can range from working as a temp library staff to more exotic night-time life bar staff. They are generally very good with giving students opportunities so just pop down to your local student job center.
Volunteering Opportunities
For sure volunteering is always look good on your CV. Everyone’s short on time these days, it’s true, but if you are really honest, you’d find that you may be a bit free after all and all you may need is an hour or two on a weekend working on a local charity or community project. It's social but also looks great on the CV. Give it a go!
Feel free to recommend any other opportunities I have not mentioned.

the aftermath of the postgraduate society night out
Hey all
This post will be a short post because I am hoping to tell the stories from all the pictures of the night :-). Pictures will come as soon as it will be verified, but in general I just wanted to say it was such a cracking night out. The fancy dress party was awesome and my favourite dress of the night has got to be a person dressing up as a tea cup. That's it for another year from the post-graduate society night out.
