Obituary of Annette Dolphin @annieneuro.bsky.social written by her sister in The Guardian. www.theguardian.com/science/2026...
Ever wonder if a baby knows what time it is? This work by @circatwenty4.bsky.social and collaborators says that the fetus synchronizes its daily rhythms to mom before birth. tinyurl.com/yk3m8fx3 #SRBRa #circadian #chronomedicine
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.”

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.
Our journal is now recognised as the leading journal in our field, with an Impact Factor of 4.1 - and we're ready for more!

Oh great news, well done Louise!
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.
Three bottles of whisky from the Scottish Malt Whisky Society.
The selection box for my wife and I arrived. Merry Christmas! 😍

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”
