Congratulations to Dr Claire Leckey my PhD student. Using stable isotope labelled leucine we measured synthesis and turnover of neurofilament light in patients. The protein turns over very slowly showing brain trials need long timelines to reveal benefit. academic.oup.com/braincomms/a...

Interloper spotted at the boardroom meeting of GSL
GSL is a private public partnership UCL spin out with the neurometabolic unit at the National Hospital. Dr Lam presented our model for the acceleration of our research tests into the NHS at the UCLH research open day. This will probably result in the accelerated translaton by at least 5 years.
Commiserations with Andrew Neil this morning as green and renewal energy supply most of the power to the uk and recent great trade deals with the EU and the US
Quite a lot to unpack here but Professors are more Dumbledore than Moriaty in my experience. Clever and educated people tend to caring and nice. The review process kicks up a few Skeletors from He-Man but that's it..........
Thoughts and prays with Andrew Neil this morning as renewables and wind powers the UK. And not fossil fuels. Again.
Very sad to hear the passing of George Foreman, a monstrous puncher and a truly great human being. We've lost a lovely, caring and exceptionally interesting man. A true great.
Very interesting use of graphics to demonstrate movement of front lines during ww1. The collapse at the end is remarkable. Shows statistics can be misleading, up until late 1918 you'd never have backed Germany to lose. ( @peterhart.bsky.social @garyba.bsky.social ) www.reddit.com/r/ww1/s/0ZP2...

I have woken up to find that during charging overnight, one of of my earbuds has disappeared and the other was covered in cat gob. Money is on Willow as the culprit as Ichabod is generally asleep.
Can anyone tell me why the US cutting Alzheimer's research funding is good? The desire to pay no tax for personal gain instead of paying a little bit to defeat this awful disease is insane.
Thoughts and prays with Andrew Neil this morning as wind turbines send him into a twitter supernova this morning. (again)

Extra two million NHS appointments in Labour's first five months, figures show
The extra NHS appointments, delivered in part by extra evening and weekend working, means Labour's manifesto commitment for two million a year was met seven months early.

Big shout out to @peterhart.bsky.social and @garyba.bsky.social for their ww1 podcast that keeps me company on the tube to work. They make history so much more interesting as they include the personal experiences of the soldiers that fought.
Serious question here, if we want to provide clean(ish) affordable energy and more importantly energy security, why don't we build more nuclear power stations and make them state owned? (and put a clause in saying they can never be privatised or sold off if Margaret comes back from the other side)
Thoughts and prays with Andrew Neil reading this after his marathon frothing at the mouth, 6 week twitterfest rant saying Rachel Reeves and the new government are fools.
POLITICO Europe@politico.eu · last yr.The UK economy fared marginally better than expected at the end of last year, eking out modest growth thanks to an uptick in industrial output.
Imagine having Victoria Derbyshire as your examiner for a Phd.
HuffPost UK@huffpost.co.uk · last yr.The BBC presenter asked Sebastian Gorka: "Have you just handed victory to President Putin on a plate?"
I just went on the hell hole next door and see Piers Morgan is advocating Elon Musk sort out the NHS. A man with private health insurance suggesting Musk could make the NHS better. Twitter opinions make as much sense as monkey tennis
Statesman like, eloquent and in two languages. Very, very impressive.

The ref in the Wales versus French match was shocking. Surely the linesmen and TMO could have stepped in to say he was literally missing everything the French did and making up stuff to penalise Wales.
