Remembering Annette Dolphin, who helped explain gabapentin’s effects The "intuitive" neuropharmacologist pushed against the status quo.

A leader in the field of voltage-gated calcium channel research over the course of a five-decade career, Annette Dolphin was “amongst the luminaries.”

Research Technician in Circadian Immunology:Oxford Road Applications are invited for a full-time Research Technician to join the Gibbs lab within the Centre for Biological Timing at the University of Manchester. This 3-year MRC funded project takes an integrated approach across murine models and human samples to discover how glucocorticoid hormones direct the anti-inflammatory potential of a specialised subset of immune cells called regulatory T cells (Tregs).

So now we have it- not only the reduction from 12-13 to 3 grants from each board recommended for funding but the budget for applicant-led research to be reduced from £200 million to £113 million per year. This is appalling, Especially given all that is happening with medical research in the US.

Got scans of some slides I took of a Siouxsie gig at the Edinburgh Playhouse in Feb. 1981. I was a fair bit from the stage so these were taken with a low quality zoom lens on Minolta SRT 200 and with me guestimating exposure (Ektachrome 400 film). Great gig. McGeoch was some guitarist.

Prof Alexis Jay, chair of public inquiry into child sexual abuse, says further national inquiry into grooming gangs isn’t needed & would delay action.

“The time has passed for more inquiries, we’ve had enough… We’ve set out action required & people should just get on with it, nationally & locally”
