USCAP was saddened to learn of the passing of Dr. Christopher D.M. Fletcher. Dr. Fletcher was an exceptional and innovative pathologist who dedicated many years in service to USCAP, including serving as President. He will be missed both personally and professionally.

These disgusting thugs represent no one but themselves. They don’t give a toss for the families & friends of the deceased & injured, suffering unimaginable grief. Our hearts go out to them. Time to consign these far right racist thugs to the dustbin of history where they belong

What an athlete Femke Bol is 🥇 Congratulations to the Netherlands on winning the 4x400m relay! #BBCOlympics #Olympics #Paris2024

That incredible Noah Lyles victory in chart form. Lyles was in last place until *50m*, and then surged past the field to take it on the line. A blue streak. Thompson led from 25m to 95m, but not when it counted.

For medics interested in a PhD in cancer research - we have a CAR-T project available at UCL please get in touch if interested.

HISTORY! 🥇 Sifan Hassan of the Netherlands wins the women's marathon after winning bronze in both the 5000m AND 10000m this week! She does it in an Olympic record time too. 🤯 A truly phenomenal feat of endurance running at these games. 👏 #BBCOlympics #Olympics #Paris2024

📢 New story out: Nikos Angelis and Anna Baulies identified ARID3A as a key regulator to fine tune the proliferation-differentiation dynamics at the TA cells in the intestine. This is important in keeping the progenitor pool at the right level to support regeneration 👇

Reading the reviews of a rejected proposal makes my blood boil. R3 states that the project doesn't develop a new methodology but "only" novel bioinformatics methods. How long will this disregard for computational research continue? Try to do your sequencing data analysis by hand!

This early stage research from @UCLH has exciting potential, and great to hear 20 of the 130 patients on this international trial will be from across the UK. Looking forward to following updates. @BioNTech theguardian.com/society/articl…
