Hello to the new The Labour Party government 👋 We can’t wait to work with you on science – and we’ve identified three key ways to support UK research and make the most of its strengths. Find out what they are ⤵️ wellcome.org/what-we-do/pol…

An actual scientist? What a novel concept.

Dear Rachel Reeves In the Autumn budget, please can you restore the £233m that was illegally removed from Active Travel England's funding. The miserable state of sustainable travel in England is beyond a joke, pushing people into costly travel alternatives. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

Life is better at 20mph. Kids can walk and cycle safely. It's easier to pull out at junctions. Everything's calmer except dickheads that are frustrated with their sad lives.

Turned up in #Berlin and found... #BerlinPride. Wow. Fabulous!

Excited to share our latest preprint. Lead by Sevi (Sevi Durdu) we asked how transcription factors (TFs) with short and abundant motifs drive specific cell fates. Our test cases: Two bHLH factors that bind to seemingly similar E-boxes. 1/7 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Drawing: Possible causes of your problems. I've been appalled at the scenes we've witnessed over the last few days. It's utterly unacceptable that people should have to live in fear because of the colour of their skin. [Polite comments only, please.]
