Hi Amy, Added you!

There is still time to apply!

Do you know someone who needs support returning to macular disease research? The @macularsociety.org are funding a flexible Daphne Jackson Fellowship to be held at any UK university or research institute.

#ResearchReturner

Daphne Jackson Fellowships show what is possible when support is in place for researchers returning after time away.

Without them ~8 yr expertise & £268k investment lost.

Returns ~£3.50 per £1 invested per fellow.

We love your work communicating our PSC research in plain English. Eternally grateful with @nickilott.bsky.social

Preparing a lecture on the #gutliveraxis for postgrad medical students from China.

Challenging my science communication skills hand in hand with AI as a teaching tool (a first for me)

This might be because it's a former school site with a current nursery school to one end. Seems like it could be eligible for a school street.

The campaign for a playground in Oxford city centre has taken a major step forward. Councillors voted this evening for a Green Party amendment to the city’s draft Local Plan, supporting “proposals which seek to make provision for play space within the City Centre”.

Like getting your Bunsen burner licence in secondary school!

I've wondered if, collectively, are we using the full allocation. Many users aren't using ther allocation. Is any "leftover" redistributed or does it just go down the drain?

What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again?

Developing film in a darkroom. #biochemistryinthenoughties Tying a knot in a strawberry lace in my mouth, no hands. #BrownieLeader #Girlguiding

That sounds like a fairly transferrable skill. An when the zombies come, you will be very useful!

Still in use. A colleague wrote their PhD thesis in it recently.

The tea room is, indeed, the best place for naive questions. Unrivalled answers, nuanced for your learning needs, and the offer of a demonstration after tea.

PSC research is challenging, but progress is happening faster than ever. There are now more clinical trials testing potential treatments than ever. Every study brings us closer to better care and, one day, a cure.
