I was looking for a way to allow students from lower-income families to take part in my after-school club classes for a symbolic fee. I couldn’t think of a better opportunity than involving them in a fundraising workshop, where they made chocolate puzzles for sale to support children facing cancer.
I am very grateful to the headteachers and school staff for supporting this initiative and helping facilitate the sales on their premises. I would also like to thank my talented students, who created these puzzles with great care and enthusiasm.
Finally, a huge thank you goes to parents for their generosity and donations. Here are some photos of my students’ wonderful work; we also created our campaign logo!
My students have been doing an amazing job for International Childhood Cancer Day!
I am delighted to share that I have launched the first annual campaign across primary schools in the UK to raise funds supporting children with cancer.
We are delighted to share that Senior Group Leader Prof Sir Steve Jackson has been elected as a Fellow of the AACR Academy in the Class of 2026. #AACRFellows recognises extraordinary scientists whose groundbreaking contributions have driven significant innovation and progress in cancer research.
Many congratulations Pr. Steve @spjacksongroup.bsky.social !
Brian Huntly and I are looking to recruit a postdoc to investigate a promising novel therapeutic target in B-ALL @scicambridge.bsky.social. This new CRUK-funded project will involve collaboration with Prof Sir Steve Jackson's group @cruk-ci.bsky.social and the CRUK Functional Genomics centre.
A new drug for improving the experience of patients receiving treatment for pancreatic cancer has now entered a clinical trial.
Doctors hope the drug, known as VP-002, will allow for lower doses of chemotherapy, reducing its side effects and improving patient experience.
Please share or forward to anyone interested in joining our lab for a postdoc, details can be found via the link below

You are right!
In our modern science, the issue will be the lack of this patent officer examples who could be good arguments for us…
Good luck Sean! Hope you will find a candidate who is as great as you are !

Congrats @debi-mukh.bsky.social!
It’s something I am also struggling to understand….It’s more a publishing recipe! I feel so sorry for the ones who are following this working style, whether it’s voluntary, automatic or unwilling. They are just setting limits on their intellectual abilities!
A potential new treatment to tackle commonest form of childhood cancer has been developed by scientists in Cambridge. Find out more: cam.ac.uk/stories/B-AL...

Nice work @simonrichardson.bsky.social , Congratulations!
Keep looking for your opportunity and it should come through your way. Wishing you Good luck!
Idiots, the public health is not a business deal !!!
Btw, idiocy disorder will be a great topic for them to fund. Very relevant to their case !!
Or we must kick the politicians out of Science by seeking independent resources, put a lot of focus on our RESEARCH and some on our PUBLIC PICTURE!!
We have a funded PhD position available in Exeter @exeter.ac.uk
Gene Regulation in Brain Development and Disease 🧬

What is ‘not really happening’ is Science nowadays, an unfortunate truth….Scientists are trapped in the metrics of performance/success.
If you want your goal to be a discovery and not a product, then you need first to discover ‘how to make it??’
If you are interested in #Epigenetics apply for a PhD with Jack Hardwick and Jonathan Hanley in Bristol, and our group in Exeter.
Elucidating the role of DNA modifications in neurons
Funded by #SWBio DTP
Deadline: Dec 4
