Great trip to David Courtney and colleagues at Queens Belfast #cantfindtheatthing

40 years ago all of Genbank was published in print form by NAR. The same format today would require over 4 light seconds of shelf space. To a year of progress in 2025.

Travesty. Where do I sleep now?

Our cinema has closed down (to be turned into a somewhat generic-looking sports bar by Justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods). The seats are all going into the skip.

Four years ago today, I published my 1st cookbook with simple tweet-length recipes, a family memoir, and an exploration of the emotional resonance of food. It sold >1000 copies, and combined with it's sequel as 'Tw-Eat Together', won a Gourmand World Cookbook Award. www.amazon.co.uk/tw-eat-toget...

Gene regulation involves thousands of proteins that bind DNA, yet comprehensively mapping these is challenging. Our paper in Nature Genetics describes ChIP-DIP, a method for genome-wide mapping of hundreds of DNA-protein interactions in a single experiment. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
