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...

This is excellent news, well done Labour. The only way to combat extreme views and anti science is through education. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Da iawn Caerphilly, da iawn Wales.

Great work by our research group demonstrating the devasting effect of small increases in these extremely low level lyso-lipids on the neurotoxicity of neuronal cells. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

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)

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.

Imagine having Victoria Derbyshire as your examiner for a Phd.

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.

Thoughts and prays with Andrew Neil this morning after his 3 week twitter tirade about Rachel Reeves destroying growth, the economy and all hope. news.sky.com/story/anothe...

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.

GB News is lashing out because our campaign is working. Let's stop them bringing Trump's playbook to the UK: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/stop-gb-news #StartSpreadingLove #StopFundingHate

How long do we have to wait before we can start asking for referendum on re-joining the EU? I would say 15 years is more than long enough to see if there is a benefit or not, so about 2030?

Thoughts and prays with Andrew Neil as he goes through his marathon stint of tweeting 'Rachel Reeves is a fool'.

Wales is massive!

Cachu Hwch is a Welsh expression to describe how I felt at 6am this morning after catching my son's cold. However, the humble ibuprofen has subsequently changed my medical landscape this morning. What a remarkable drug. (apologies for the split infinitive)

After a rubbish week of countless meetings and lectures, Darwin Nunez rescues it for me 💪

Thoughts and prays with Andrew Neil today as inflation falls

I cannot work out if battery man has always been like this but hid it, is just uninformed, too lazy to do his homework & believes it, he's so rich & tyrannical that he has no one to stand up to him & point out the facts are wrong or knows it's wrong but doesn't care? BBC 👍 x.com/BBCRosAtkins...

This is our company, we have partnered and embedded ourselves into the world famous National Hospital for Neurology at Queen's Square. This is the quickest way to get our test for Parkinson's disease into the NHS. This is massive. www.uclh.nhs.uk/news/nhs-pat...

I had an interesting tube journey in one morning with a guy who designed and built hospitals. I was intrigued to find hospitals are made to last 30-40 years then need a major overhaul, and which sometimes making a new hospital is more cost effective.

Thoughts and prays with Andrew O'Neil this morning as wind produces 43% of UK energy production.

Even I never saw battery rocket man descend down a pathway that called for the United States to invade the UK

The wise words of Lord Acton "power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely". You only have to read a certain tech billionaire's Twitter stream to confirm this saying is as relevant today as it was 140 years ago.

But we have blue passports now (coughs, that are made in France)

How amazing to think once upon a time these creatures wandered freely over the uk www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Thoughts and prayers with Andrew O'Neil as the year ends with green energy supplying the uk with nearly 60% energy today.

June was a good month 💪 www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/de...

Thoughts and prays with Andrew O'Neil this morning as green energy produces 51% of the UK energy

Excellent news, well done our Government. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Happy Christmas everyone

What an amazing species we can be when we put our minds to it
